She likes scholars who care about the people. Fine, he'll treat the people in his fief well, govern diligently, and care for their welfare.
He can change anything she dislikes, as long as she'll stay with him.
A prince who made a mess of everything in his past life but turns over a new leaf in this one vs. a beautiful, delicate merchant's daughter who stubbornly chooses what's right
One-on-one romance, sweet story
Above Your Station
Tang Xiangqi, the beloved daughter of the Prefect of Laizhou, takes in a guard with amnesia named A Wei.
A Wei is tall, handsome, and a skilled fighter. He's aloof and taciturn, with a bit of a defiant streak, but otherwise meets most of her requirements for a live-in son-in-law.
The pampered young lady hooks a finger into the strong guard's collar and whispers in his ear, "Dare you to cross the line."
A Wei, red-faced and sweating profusely, would rather douse himself with cold water over and over than overstep his bounds. Tang Xiangqi is terribly frustrated.
To provoke A Wei, Tang Xiangqi goes flower-viewing with Young Master Wang one day, then boating with Young Master Li the next. But she takes it too far, and drives A Wei away. She searches everywhere, but can't find him.
Several months later, a man in fine clothes who calls himself Prince Xuan arrives to propose marriage.
Tang Xiangqi takes one look at the man, whose face is identical to A Wei's, and rejects the proposal without hesitation.
A stern, imposing prince with a serious expression is not her A Wei. She only wants the original A Wei, the one who could become her live-in son-in-law.
That night, after she rejects the proposal, she is kidnapped from her room.
In an unfamiliar chamber, gauze curtains sway and incense hangs sweet in the air. Prince Xuan, Zuo Weiqian, stands before her with his clothes half open and leans in to whisper, "You've been told to cross the line. Now it's your turn..."

Third Prince Huan Yunzheng is deeply in love with her.
Wei Jingyan, granddaughter of the Duke of Xin and daughter of the Right Guard General, is absolutely certain of it.
Her family is prominent, she's stunningly beautiful and talented, the noble ladies all praise her, and the third prince treats her with great respect.
Once the third prince ascends the throne, she'll become empress and bask in his boundless favor.
So she fusses over him, takes care of him with all her heart, and protects him in every way.
Until one day, she accidentally discovers that the third prince has been meeting another woman in secret.
For the first time, she sees the self-controlled, well-mannered prince break decorum and embrace that woman, smiling with an ease she'd never seen before.
Only then does Wei Jingyan realize that after all her hard work, someone else has claimed the prize.
That night, she stares at her plan for becoming empress, written on a sheet of white paper, and falls into deep thought...
She decides that this one won't do. The next prince will be more obedient.

But after he angers the emperor and suddenly falls out of favor, Wei Jingyan chats and laughs with his rival brother, the one who has won the emperor's favor, looking at him with tender affection.
Cruelly toyed with by the woman he holds in his grasp, Huan Yunzheng, usually so polite and composed, can no longer contain his anger. Years of pretense fall away in an instant, revealing his obsessive and scheming true nature.
Whether it's sincere love or false affection, what's his will never be given to anyone else, even in death.
Theme: The ability to mend your ways after a mistake is the greatest virtue. Turn back, and warmth will still be waiting.

This male protagonist is probably the most childish and funny I have ever seen in the wife-chasing crematorium (hahaha)
This prince doesn't seem very smart (??????)
Why does this late emperor's so-called deep affection make me so disgusted? Are you really so affectionate and devoted that you want so many women? You really can't see your children, and it doesn't matter if you have children, you just marry this woman, only sleep with this woman, and if she doesn't give birth, just give the throne to her family and cause trouble! Having so many children, not distinguishing between right and wrong in women's sex, and leaving a big disaster and great power to this woman and her natal family after death, why not just stop having children and directly pass the throne to the Dou family! There are also those stubborn and upright ministers. He himself is like a dog. No matter what it is necessary to insist on, they all just follow his wishes and support the Dou family's ascendance! Let's see if the Dou family can retain the affection of these brothers and cousins! The Emperor of Ye Province and his brothers couldn't bear it. They were so troubled by the Dou family's love, her Queen Mother's love... It's really not worth it for these upright ministers who died in vain and even had their families destroyed because of their loyalty to the emperor!
Even good people don't get good things in front of you.
The writing is very good. The grades should be better. I'm fully booked.
So my lord. . . Could it be that the Second Emperor's Brother also happens to be one of the princes? (Hold up the forehead)
If you say that this prince is not good, he is sincere. If you say that he is good, he will be confused from time to time.
The prince's change of state of mind is very reasonable. Even if he is reborn, he will not grow rapidly overnight.
The prince is very reliable when it comes to caring about his wife.
