Synopsis

[A long-planning retainer x a delicate flower of a declining royal house, one-on-one and mutually faithful + devoted dog-like lover + forced love + marriage first, love later + sweet romance]

Seven years ago, Princess Li Zhaoning of Shengning publicly lashed a guard until his clothes were torn, then sneered, “You lowly soldier aren’t even worth as much as my cat.”

Seven years later, that soldier has become the Prince of Shuochuan, commanding a formidable army and feared throughout the court.

With the empress’s relatives wreaking havoc in government, the once-proud princess has no choice but to enter his military tent and marry him to preserve the Li family’s rule.

The entire court assumes it’s merely a powerful minister humiliating a fallen royal house. Given their bitter past, they expect the princess to be tormented until she wishes she were dead.

But after the wedding, a noblewoman goes to the palace to complain, sobbing that the princess stole her jade ornaments and beat her in the street. She wants the Empress Dowager to make Li Zhaoning kneel. The next day, the noblewoman’s entire family is banished to the frontier.

At court, someone accuses the princess of extravagance. In front of the young emperor, Huo Wei tears the memorial to shreds. “In my opinion, it’s time to clean house at court, too.”

In public, he bows and calls himself her subject. In private, he grips her waist and forces the princess, eyes red-rimmed, to call him “husband.”

Even so, Huo Wei still tells her, “Your Highness, don’t flatter yourself.”

That is, until one of her former suitors secretly contacts Li Zhaoning. Huo Wei corners her inside a carriage.

“Why were you smiling at him, Your Highness? Believe me, I’ll go cut off his hands right now. Then let’s see how he’ll write you those sappy poems.”

[Content notes: The heroine is the weaker partner. The jealous hero uses confinement as a way to draw her closer; it serves only to deepen the couple’s bond. There is no physical or emotional abuse, but he will find ways to make the hero jealous.]

Comforting Marriage First, Love Later

Looking for a marriage-first, love-later story where the couple treats each other with respect and there's no melodramatic, bitter feud between them. The male lead respects the heroine, making the story really pleasant to read. Nothing like an outrageous domineering CEO story, please. A little angst is fine, haha.
