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.

Reader note
The heroine was originally going to marry her childhood sweetheart, but on the wedding day she was dumped by a scumbag, and then she was taken over by Shen Qi'an, the powerful "third uncle" who had a crush on her for many years. This powerful official is a cold-hearted and cold-hearted minister of Dali Temple to the outside world, but privately he dotes on the heroine to the heavens. The long-standing secret love has completely exploded, and he has been flirting with possessiveness. In the front, there is the satisfying feeling of being slapped in the face by a scumbag man and a bitch, and in the back, there is a sweet daily life of a powerful minister treating the heroine as his treasure. If you like the setting of secret love + marriage first, love later, just jump right in!

After the heroine is reborn, she uses the world as a chessboard and all living beings as chess pieces. She is the one who plays the chess game. The plots are interlocking and it is not a brainless novel. This book is not only about palace battles and house fights, but also includes suspenseful cases, battles for thrones, feelings about family and country, brotherhood, official battlefields, conspiracies, and twists and turns. In short, it is a long and smooth novel in a large format.
