Looking for books similar to *After Transmigrating, the Concubine Stays in the Prince's Manor and Raises Her Baby (A Concubine's Daily Life)*. Pure-couple household-intrigue stories don't feel true to the era. I want a male lead who's had previous partners, and who puts power first. The heroine can either be clever and fight back or take a laid-back, carefree approach. Later on, the male lead falls in love with her.
