The Empress Is Otherworldly and Alluring: The Emperor's Exclusive Favorite 娘娘又仙又撩:陛下椒房独宠

The Side Consort’s Memoir of Becoming Empress 侧妃为后记
[Household Intrigue + Palace Intrigue] Not a one-on-one romance. The male lead has a wife and concubines early on, but later dotes on the heroine alone. No suspicion or misunderstandings. A little angst, but mostly sweet. The heroine falls for him first, but she isn't completely ruled by love. Her experiences have shaped her, and she's usually quite level-headed. (Though perhaps she is a little taken by his looks.) The male lead doesn't realize his own feelings, but he's been good to the heroine
