7. Love is Sweet ML Yuan Shuai loves FL Jiang Jun for over 10 years and while he teases her and seems like he bullies her, he does it to protect her and build up her resistance so she does not easily shed tears (she has a weird allergy to her own tears). While it took long enough for them to officially get together, once that happened, everything he did since that point was to be able to marry her.
8. My Little Happiness similarly, ML Wen Shao Qing also loves FL Cong Rong from an early age and only reunites with her when she comes back to Shenzhen as an intern lawyer at his hospital. He recognizes her from episode 1 but unfortunately she does not (she never knew his real name). He goes through many challenges to finally get with her and similarly, since that point, worked towards marrying her (ex. wifi network is “Cong Rong you will be my wife one day” in Jiu Gong Ge, a type of Chinese inputting system that only uses numbers; the lovely confession scene in the earthquake area; and using the embroidery of Gui Hua on her shirt to signify having children with her)
