Contract marriage to genuine love. ML falls and chases FL first. ML has a traumatic past, is controlling, and seems cold at first. ML and FL have a past connection that the ML remembers and the FL doesn't know until much later. There is a scheming SML who gets close to the FL in order to hurt the ML.

Both are contract marriages intended to only last a short time that turn into genuine love. One is historical, the other modern day, though.
