Humble author here, bowing to everyone. Please take a look at the serial I'm currently writing, another bow. Here's the blurb for A Letter in Silk.
[The Ex Wins Her Back / Coercive Possession / Marriage First, Love Later / Dog-Training Romance]
[A flirtatious, sweet-faced but dark heroine x an obsessive, possessive male lead]
Silly blurb:
One day, Pei Xuchen crunched on sunflower seeds and said awkwardly, "I think I've fallen for Wen Jinshu."
Luo Yu: "Huh? Didn't you like her already?"
Qin Qin: "You've been making eyes at each other for ages. You're only figuring it out now?"
Lady Dan: "Oh, I thought that was just how you two normally act."
Wen Jinshu: "?"
Pei Xuchen: "..."
Serious blurb:
When Wen Jinshu was ten, the Battle of Pingnan left her orphaned and with nowhere to turn.
She lived under someone else's roof until she came of age.
Then she was betrothed to the most powerful prince in Shengdu. Everyone said she was a perfect example of how fortune and misfortune go hand in hand.
Wen Jinshu listened to the rumors and only smiled calmly.
Her husband had earned the sovereign's trust at a young age, ranking second to none but the sovereign in court. Outside the court, however, he spent his days pursuing women, and his estate was filled with concubines.
On their wedding day:
"I know Your Highness did not marry me out of true affection, and I am not the right woman for you either. Now that I am your princess consort, I will take care of you and protect the reputation of you and your household. I will not interfere in your other affairs, and I will keep to my place."
Wen Jinshu saw a glimmer of approval flash in his eyes.

Pei Xuchen was born in the palace and had known since childhood that marriage was nothing more than a bargaining chip in the exchange of benefits.
If it could help him secure his power, he'd marry even a pig as his princess consort, eyes closed.
That was, until people started wondering why the prince and princess consort still hadn't divorced.
The young gatekeeper at the prince's estate heard the commotion from the courtyard and shook his head.
A certain once lofty prince was now clinging to his princess consort, crying, making a scene, and threatening to hang himself, begging her not to give him divorce papers...
Reading Guide:
1. One-on-one, happy ending. The male lead is completely chaste (if I'm not, he has to be chaste too), and the heroine is chaste as well.
2. His mouth is harder than stone, but his body tells the truth.
3. Both leads are adults!
Theme: Love yourself and grow strong
