An arranged marriage resulted in an unhappy couple. Bound to each other by their marriage contract and political factors, YC, who is the ruler of <INSERT NAME HERE> decides to bring a concubine into their lives. Little by little, my character is pushed to the side, and rather than fuss about it, she instead tries to regain YCβs love. The conclusion of this unhappy union is MCβs death, which is caused by YC and their concubine who would later become queen. Fate intervenes. The clock stops and rewinds, granting my character a second chance at life. No longer blinded by love and loyalty, she is determined to do whatever it takes to secure a divorce for herself. To her surprise, YC is holding on rather than letting go as he prefers this new version of MC who is not taking his bullshit.

Safety Light Fantasy, Romance, Family Mistreatment, Inspired by My Happy Marriage
A young woman mistreated by her family is sold/married off (up to us!) to a powerful nobleman in search of a partner/wife. The nobleman's reputation paints them as a violent brute, which makes her nervous about entering their household. Running away isn't an option, though. So, she swallows her fears and makes her way to their household with the hopes that it might be somewhat better than her family household, where she is treated with disregard and often humiliated by her father's stepfamily.
