Can you recommend me the title of a fictional ancient novel? I don't remember the names of the male and female leads.

He wanted to find a book that was about ancient times. It had been quite a long time, but he couldn't remember the title. He couldn't remember the names of the male and female leads either. The female lead seemed to have been reborn. The male protagonist's family had been in the army for generations. The male protagonist's older brother died at sea in his early years. In fact, the male protagonist's older brother did not die. Moreover, the male protagonist's father pretended that the male protagonist's older brother died on purpose because the male protagonist's older brother was disfigured or disabled. The male protagonist's father felt that his son would become a burden to the family in the future, so he deliberately did not save the male protagonist's older brother. Later, the male protagonist found out and met his older brother. At that time, his older brother became the pirate's military adviser. She still remembered a plot. The male protagonist's brother was very good at planting flowers. He hid in the market and sold flowers. The female protagonist liked his flowers very much. Later on, it was unknown whether the female protagonist or the male protagonist found the male protagonist's brother because of this.
The male and female leads seemed to be childhood sweethearts. The female lead's family background was also quite good. The two of them were of equal social status. The male lead was quite innocent in the early stages, but his thoughts became deep in the later stages. He put his brother under house arrest in the courtyard, which could be considered as protecting him in disguise. Her brother's legs were crippled, but his brain was very flexible. After the male protagonist put her brother under house arrest, he seemed to have talked to her brother about a treasure map.
