/Soft, silly sweetheart x domineering, scheming Crown Prince
Jiang Yuning is the illegitimate daughter of the Jing'an Marquis's household. Born to a low status and a little slow-witted, she was sent to a country estate outside the capital as a child.
She lived in poor conditions, had too little to wear, and often went hungry.
Before long, a handsome young man moved into the neighboring courtyard.
That very night, Jiang Yuning set up a ladder, climbed over the wall, and asked pitifully, "Big Brother, could you give me a bite?"
When Jiang Yuning was fifteen, she was brought back to the marquis's household. Seeing her soft, delicate figure, the madam of the household wanted to make her a concubine for her own nephew.
But before the engagement could be arranged, a carriage from the Eastern Palace arrived to take Jiang Yuning away.
The onlookers followed in disbelief, only to see the chief eunuch of the Eastern Palace personally setting out a stool and sweeping the dust away.
The Crown Prince had just returned from court and was still in his formal robes. He stood before the carriage and pulled the foolish little illegitimate daughter into his arms.

Everyone believed Crown Prince Shen Rang was cold, gloomy, and heartless.
But those who served him closely knew that the Crown Prince held a precious pearl in his palm, one he had cherished by his side for many years.
[Bonus scene]
Before anyone noticed, the little girl who had once climbed over the wall had grown into a ravishing beauty, delicious to behold.
At a spring banquet, Shen Rang saw a few young men stealing glances at Jiang Yuning in the distance, and his brow furrowed before he even realized it.
Later, in the Crown Prince's bedchamber in the Eastern Palace,
the noble Crown Prince looked at the tangerine in the little girl's hand and asked, "Ningning, could you give Big Brother a bite?"

To gain control of her father's troops and win the emperor's trust, Prince Liang framed her entire family. In the end, her parents and older brother, along with Jinyuan herself, all died at his hands.
Prince Liang took advantage of the situation to rise to power and challenge the Crown Prince for the throne.

Determined not to repeat the past, Jinyuan refused on the spot and, in front of the emperor, declared her love for the Crown Prince, who was far away in Yubei:

When Crown Prince Qu You was young, he fell in love with Jinyuan at first sight. To make sure he could marry her one day, he went to Yubei to build up his power.

Everyone who disliked her knelt at her feet, and her enemies fell one after another.
One couple, first-time relationships, happy ending.
Completed sweet romance: The Emperor's Uncle's Affection
Blurb:
Qingwu is the eldest legitimate daughter of the Duke Rongguo's household. She is of noble birth, naturally beautiful, and was promised to the Crown Prince as his principal wife at a young age.
She should have been cherished and adored by everyone, but her life fell apart in an instant.
The Crown Prince broke off their engagement, and she became a discarded pawn of her family. The emperor then betrothed her to the dying Prince of Chu.
Rumor had it that Prince Chu was afflicted with madness. During an episode, he would eat human flesh and drink human blood, and no one dared approach him.
Everyone waited to laugh at Qingwu's misfortune, and she herself had already given up hope.
On their wedding day, a pale, slender hand reached out to her. She didn't dare look up. All she heard was a soft, deep voice: "Don't be afraid."
*
Prince Chu was the Crown Prince's uncle. He had been poisoned with a rare toxin, and a court physician once declared that he wouldn't live past the coming spring.
But no one expected the man who had fallen into the dirt to claw his way back to his feet, then lavish all his affection on the little girl everyone else had rejected.
Whatever she wanted, he would find it for her.
Even the empress's throne that should have been hers.
-
In the eyes of outsiders, Prince Chu was a ruthless demon.
But with Qingwu, he was endlessly tender and indulgent.
When they first married, Qingwu was timid and meek. She didn't even dare speak up when there was food she disliked on the dinner table.
It wasn't until Jing Li noticed Qingwu secretly burying the food she didn't like at the bottom of her bowl that he realized she was a picky eater.
At first, Jing Li reasoned with Qingwu and told her she didn't need to be so formal with him.
Later, he stopped explaining and simply picked the little girl up and kissed her.
He warned her: If she did it again, things wouldn't end there.
Only then did the little girl dare to speak up. She learned to make requests and learned to act coquettish.
But he still couldn't help himself. Looking at his darling little sweetheart, he made her cry anyway.
Soft, clingy crybaby sweetheart x devoted older man with double standards
Theme: Kindness is eventually rewarded, and even in adversity, one must grow.
