    Hello!!!
    I've somehow always have a thing or two for medieval/aristocratic setting, so as the title says, I am looking for some recs from fellow nuffians.
    I've tried to search down the tags but the synopsis more often than not confused me instead *sweats*
    What I am looking for are novels or manga/manhua/manhwa
    • that has slow paced story and/or slow and warmhearted romance
    • preferably het
    • preferably in historical/aristocracy/medieval setting
    • HE for our leads please
    • it's a plus if they're set in a arranged marriage with no feelings at the beginning and slowly falling for each other
    I have a manhwa that I love, Pellua Iyagi or Tales of Felluah (it is very nice, you can check it out), also a manga Akagami no Shirayukihime or Red Haired Snow White, which are the kind of what I am looking for.
    I've read How To Be A Virtuous Wife, btw, and currently starting Lucia.
    CN, KR, JP, EN, I welcome any titles!

    Thank you :)

    If you've read TBAVW, i would recommend Eight Treasures Trousseau. It's like a more refined TBAWV with a more even and warm relationship between MC and ML.

    There is one story I know of that is at least sort of in the wheelhouse you're describing. Issue is I can't for the life of me remember the title.
    General premise is that a man from japan is summoned to another world and asked to be kept man as a prince in a magical country. There is a possibility it became harem but at least for the first five or so volumes of the story it wasn't,

    Found it: https://www.novelupdates.com/series/risou-no-himo-seikatsu/

    Other than the arranged part, that one where the 'Yeti of the borderlands' (Finnish Sami more or less) marries the tomboyish female veteran from Germany pretty much would do ,but I for the love of me can't remember the name, although I saw the manga not that long ago

    It's trending towards harem but it's handled quite realistically and maturely and the question of having a harem is actually explored in depth regarding cultural reasons and the uniqueness of the situation.

    @op i would actually second the recommendation for Risou no Himo Seikatsu because it fits everything you're looking for

    A Capable Maid (comic)
    female MC, princess, disguised as maid. So far the story is she solve problems in the castle, mostly secretly. A prince is trying to find the princess for politic reasons (but it's like a throwaway line to support MC motive to stay hidden) and the reason the problems "magically" fixed

    Sincerely: I Became a Duke's Maid (comic)
    transmigrated MC to a novel as a maid, before the story starts (irrc). She is sympathetic with the 2nd male lead (duke or something) live. She wants to prevent his bad end & starts by taking care of his weak childhood.
    Warning. The 2nd ML fell in love with MC when he was a child, so the age gap/visual might be disturbing for some

    This Is An Obvious Fraudulent Marriage (comic)
    arranged married, plan to divorce after 1 year. But she likes his face and he likes her.

    Kusuriya no Hitorigoto (comic)
    ancient china/japan? Not sure. More detective story, maid MC with obsession to medicine/poison & high ranking "eunuch"

    The Reason Why Raeliana Ended up at the Duke’s Mansion (comic)
    transmigrated MC, arranged married. Forgot what happened but ML likes her now
