Same premise

Married Lead

Court Politics

Both have decent story . Might wanna try it!!

Feng Miao Jun, a princess of the fallen Anxia Kingdom, crosses paths with Yun Ya, a cruel master from Wei. Despite initial distrust, their fates intertwine. Together with Master Mo Ti Zhun and Saintess Han Yue, they become close allies in their battle against the Heavenly Demons. Through trials, love, and mutual support, they grow into powerful beings capable of facing all challenges.

If you like the scene of the female lead in the desert wearing red, you must watch Goodbye My Princess!!

Consider Shadow Sovereign where two equally smart leads turn out to actually pursuing the good of the people but have to manuever their way around the villians. The interesting twist on tropes is that the FL is calling the shots.

If you want more mature romance + political/military intrigue, go here. The leads become partners rather than simply a romance happening around the plot.
?? Romance: High
? Emotional Intensity: High
? Shared Tropes: Powerful couple, political marriage, court intrigue, military conflict

A similar types of story.
Both FL get embroiled in injustices and meet MLs. And, the couple faces hardships together including court, family matters.
