[This story: The Marquis's Beloved. Loyal, devoted male lead x proud, spirited young woman, one-on-one]
Xie Chuwan is a distinguished daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's family, blessed with extraordinary talent.
Since childhood, she had been engaged to Wei Chi, the second son of the Wei family. But just as the wedding date approached, the engagement ended in rejection.
What childhood sweethearts? What growing up together? The Wei family only agreed to the marriage for the sake of her family's status.
Wei Chi broke off the engagement and immediately attached himself to a commandery princess. The princess and her mother were both so 'kindhearted' that they even arranged a 'fine' marriage for Xie Chuwan.
She heard that her husband, the Marquis of Weiyuan, had a terrible reputation. He was also a strategist serving the Grand Princess and often opposed the emperor.
Xie Chuwan thought her life was over.
So she decided to go all in and use her beauty to make him fall at her feet. The marquis was only too happy to oblige.
When the Grand Princess staged a coup and pointed her sword at the emperor, she put Xie Chuwan in front of everyone to force the Duke of Zhenguo to withdraw his troops.
The marquis, clad in dark armor, shielded her in his arms.

A fake eunuch with power over the court x a beautiful imperial princess (a wife-pursuit crematorium)
Ruan Linglong was a beautiful princess of the Great Ye Empire. At her elder brother's command, she was sent to marry into a neighboring country.
The man before her was strikingly handsome, and he was the person she had once loved.
This was the second time he was marrying her.
The first time, he had fled from their marriage, ordered by imperial decree, leaving Ruan Linglong humiliated on her wedding day.
The second time, she was a princess sent away to marry for peace.
When Wen Qianlou lifted her veil, he showed no joy at the wedding. His face was full of disdain. "The princess is truly a great beauty, but it's a pity you'll spend the rest of your life buried in this palace." He turned and left.
*
Wen Qianlou already loved someone else. He looked down on the delicate, spoiled princess. Because Ruan Linglong had said, "I love you," in front of the palace hall, he had been ordered to marry her. His cousin had married someone else, and he resented Ruan Linglong for ruining his match.
Now he was marrying her only because he wanted them to loathe each other and never find peace.
He wanted the frail princess to fend for herself, thinking that would ease his hatred a little.
It wasn't until Ruan Linglong was driven to the brink that he learned the 'cousin' who had saved him all those years ago was actually Ruan Linglong.
Ruan Linglong's heart had turned to ash, and her eyes held no warmth for him. "Lord Wen, you hold such a high position. I was delusional to think I could ever be worthy of you."
"Linglong, could you give me one more chance to hold your hand?"
