『Su Wanlan (Noble Consort of a Matriarchal Empire)』
Matriarchal setting — how did my fragile, helpless noble consort end up charging into battle to kill the enemy?! (No torturing the kid; no male domination) Su Wanlan, eldest legitimate son of the Marquis of Dingyuan, Grand General Who Guards the Nation. Age 20, 193 cm. The main character is the Empress of the Great Chen Empire, and Su Wanlan is her noble consort — a consort who is also a hostage (a pawn to keep his mother, the Marquis of Dingyuan, and his sister, the Piaoqi Grand General, in check). In the harem he receives every treatment due to him. He has no interest in vying for favor; he faints at the sight of blood, and his health is poor — medicine never leaves his side. To quote the Empress: "my fragile, helpless noble consort." (There's a contrast! A huge contrast!) Image source: Xiaohongshu 🍠 屏山听雨眠
