One similar novel could be 'The Ruthless King and His Cunning Queen'. It also features a complex relationship between a powerful king and his consort with lots of political intrigue and power plays.
Maybe 'The Dark Lord and His Wily Bride' is another one. It has a similar theme of a somewhat 'evil' or at least very shrewd male lead and a clever female lead as in 'the evil king wicked consort novel'. There are battles for power within the kingdom and a lot of emotional turmoil between the main characters.
There is also 'The Tyrant King and His Sly Consort'. This novel shares the aspect of a king who may not be entirely good and a consort who has her own ways of dealing with the court politics and the king. It's full of twists and turns as the relationship between the two develops in the face of various challenges in the kingdom.
