    "Marriage first, love later! [Flying kiss] Who says the white moonlight has to be weak and helpless?" While all the noble ladies in the capital were racking their brains to play the role of virtuous and gentle, Zhao Rujin had already welded the white moonlight script to herself—this lady, in the Shura field of the feudal dynasty, went crazy with her subversion of the norm! On the surface, she is a gentle and dignified princess consort, but behind the scenes, she is good at making money and tearing down green tea; on the surface, she plays the role of "loving her husband to death," but in reality, she treats her husband as a KPI. Who would have thought that the seemingly scheming and aloof prince is actually a hidden master of love! He will secretly get jealous when his wife receives gifts from his love rival, and when his wife threatens divorce, he will devise a "remarriage plan on the spot" overnight, and even when locked out, he can still imagine pink bubbles in his mind—this is not the male lead of a political intrigue novel. He is clearly the newly promoted "pure love god" in the world of ancient romance novels! While everyone is waiting for the palace intrigue and tearing apart, this couple has already turned feudal marriage into a two-way strategy game. Zhao Rujin's elaborate love story, woven with top-tier acting skills, ultimately ensnared her own true feelings. Meanwhile, the seemingly tsundere prince, unseen by her, had already forged his sincerity into an unfading moonlight. "When the white moonlight starts to falter, and the love-struck mind suddenly awakens—this isn't a tragic romance novel script; it's clearly a real-life account of an ancient couple's reverse taming!" Ready to laugh until your abs hurt and be completely captivated by their sweet romance? This unconventional ancient romance is redefining "arranged marriage followed by love"!

    Want to read stories of marriage of convenience that blossoms into love? Here are some: The first book features a male lead whose unrequited love becomes real, leading to a marriage certificate and subsequent participation in a dating reality show where the female lead gradually falls for him. The second book has the female lead marrying her ex-fiancé's brother; the plot is unconventional, a sweet romance. The third book is a time-travel story where the female lead transmigrates into the body of the original male lead's returning "white moonlight" (ideal love), and has a domineering CEO husband with whom she has an arranged marriage… (Note: Some of these involve the male lead's unrequited love becoming real).

    Both are slow-burning, marriage-of-convenience romance novels. I absolutely loved the first two. The first one is about an arranged marriage where the man secretly loves the woman, and the second one involves a woman who is already engaged (but believes her fiancé is the man's nephew) and they still get married. The other two are also super good! [Laughing][laughing]
