Older Love Interest Swallows Their Pride for Love. Looking for Good Writing, Maybe a Redemption Story

I’m looking for a story where the male lead is powerful and high-ranking, gentle at heart, and mature, while the female lead has a lower social status. A healing romance is fine, such as a tragic female lead being saved by the male lead, as long as it doesn’t involve a transaction or anything like that. Basically, I want the male lead to help her often.
