Looking for Good Classical Chinese Romance Novels Set Among Aristocratic Families, with Household Intrigue and No Idiotic Characters

Looking for a purely historical romance. The male lead comes from a prominent clan and is ambitious. The female lead is his wise, dignified legal wife. I want a domestic-strife story about the two of them managing the family together.

Palace and Household Intrigue with Smart Characters! Rated 9.5 or Higher!

Looking for something like Zhaohua's Chaos. Rated 9.5 or higher! The female lead should be a concubine's daughter who gradually rises from a low rank, or works her way up in the prince's household.

I don’t want a female lead disguised as a man! She should be unbelievably clever or have maxed-out combat skills. She could be a princess, a martial artist, or anything else.

1. No white-lotus female rivals who do nothing but whimper, cry to win sympathy, and get some scumbag prince or father to rush to their defense. Those insulting-to-the-reader plots are a hard no. 2. As a female-lead fan, I need the male lead to be sexually pure. 3. No lovesick female leads.
