"Leaving this here for now. I may continue polishing the ideas and blurbs"

1. Cool, aloof top scholar + wolfish heir

He is handsome but frail. After drinking a little too much at a celebration banquet, he was sent home in a daze. From then on, the wolfish heir pursued him relentlessly.

2. Frail young master + scheming regent

A sickly young master from a wealthy family comes to the capital with his servants to seek treatment. Who would have thought he'd mistake the vicious regent for a renowned physician?

3. Cool, aloof heir + sharp-tongued prince

His family has fallen into ruin, his parents are dead, and he and his sister are left alone with no one to rely on. He is also frail and rarely goes out to socialize.

His wicked uncle wants to marry his sister off to a prince notorious for his cruelty.

With no other choice, he goes to the prince and begs him to break off the engagement.

4. Frail beauty and personal guard

He doesn't know that his guard is a prince. Since he hasn't treated him well, he plans to apologize and keep his distance once the man reclaims his identity.

Who would have thought the guard would refuse to let him go?

5. Frail beauty and cool, aloof senior brother

They studied under the same mentor, and his senior brother took good care of him from the time they began their studies.

His health was poor, and whenever he was punished, his senior brother would take the punishment for him.

When his senior brother was to be engaged, he went to congratulate him. Who could have guessed he would hear his usually cold senior brother say he would marry no one but him?

6. Frail, gloomy beauty and hypocritical junior brother

He is sickly and quiet. His classmates all like spending time with his junior brother and treat him coldly.

He is secretly jealous of his junior brother, and colder to him than to everyone else. Yet his junior brother always smiles at him with an innocent, harmless look.

Only later does he learn that if he says even a couple of words more to anyone else, his junior brother goes mad.
