Synopsis

[Divorce + business + beloved by the ancestors + a groveling ex-husband + slow-burn romance] The day Gu Yunzheng returned to the capital victorious, he brought Princess Ning'an with him. “Qingyao will be my legal wife, and you'll be demoted to secondary wife. You can still manage the household.” Shen Mingtang laughed. So someone else got all the benefits, while she was left to clean up the mess? In front of everyone, she produced a divorce agreement, then slapped seven years of account books down before the Gu family. “I don't want him anymore.” “The Marquis's estate owes me 264,370 taels. Don't even think of shorting me by a single coin.” Gu Yunzheng thought she was just throwing a tantrum. But as soon as the divorce agreement was stamped, the century-old eternal lamp in the Gu family ancestral hall suddenly went out. The twelve ancestral tablets all turned around in unison, facing Shen Mingtang. [Why keep a grandson like that? Mingtang, we're coming with you!] [That shop on East Street is in a great location. We can use it to pay off the debt.] [Don't sign the contract yet. Those living Gu family members have set another trap for you.] Shen Mingtang: “...” She'd only gotten divorced. How had she managed to take the Gu family's ancestors with her, too? From then on, she chased down debts, reclaimed her dowry, and salvaged her old shops by day, while the ancestors bickered incessantly in her ears at night. When she negotiated business deals, her Third Great-Aunt was even more excited than she was. When she ran into troublemakers, the old marquis was ready to roll up his sleeves. Later, Prince Jing, Xiao Yan, glanced at her a little too long, and the ancestors started arguing again... [At least this one's status is good enough.] [Though he's a little cold.] Gu Yunzheng, meanwhile, remained convinced that Shen Mingtang was twenty-six and the daughter of a merchant family. She wouldn't last long without the marquis's estate and would come crawling back sooner or later. Later, he stood outside her door, eyes red. “Mingtang, I'm here to take you home.” The twelve Gu ancestors exploded on the spot. [Get lost!]

Looking for an Elegant Historical Chinese Romance Without Outlandish, Over-the-Top, or Brain-Dead Tropes

I want something with elegant, delicate writing. Not the kind that opens with someone getting disfigured or having their heart cut out. That's too melodramatic and clumsy. And no side characters like concubine-born daughters or female antagonists publicly attacking the heroine at banquets. People like that wouldn't survive three hours in ancient times unless they were faking their deaths. It's so unrealistic.

Looking for Pure Historical Romance, No Transmigration

Purely historical, sweet and romantic, with a good plot and a female lead who's not a naive airhead. A little angst in the middle is fine, but it needs a happy ending! Ideally, it would also portray the rigid class system of feudal society and the helplessness of living in that era.

I can’t find any good historical romances! Preferably not too long, no more than a little over a million words. It has to be good! Ideally, the heroine is reborn or transmigrates, gets revenge on the scumbags, and has a doting hero. One-on-one romance, both leads faithful to each other!!! No angst! A little angst at most! The hero must not have any other consorts.
