    The male lead is Su Yuanzhi, and the female lead is Princess Zhaoyang. It's a princess rebirth story. Initially, the female lead tries to use the male lead's status as prime minister to avoid reliving her past life, but ends up marrying him. Later, she falls in love with him, and the couple works together. She later gives birth to three boys and one girl for him. The plot is good; I read it on another platform a few years ago, but this platform has cut some content.
