Rebound Regent
The third version of the "Regent's kiss" (or whatever it's called) plot with Li Ruo Xun. I can see why this plot is being remade, it's a strong premise : FL has been forever in love with her adoptive elder brother who saved her life, becoming the perfect bride shaped by his taste and coveted by many men in the city, waiting for him to finally claim her, only to see him get concubine after concubine. After the nineth (!!) enters his household she's over it and resigns herself to an arranged marriage with the prince regent, who is crazy about her. This drama was HOT, probably one of the hottest period shorts I've seen, the regent's love is all consuming and she's more than ready to be over with being a parangon of virtue put on a pedestal and never touched by her coward of a savior. The writing is a cut above the usual fare, quite detailed and cohesive. A very generous short that is good on every front.
