I Hold You Close to My Heart

(Marriage first, love later + fake first-love trope + one-sided crush + a little groveling) All the tropes you could ask for A scheming, devoted, domineering CEO x an adorable, sweet designer A chance encounter brings two kindred spirits together, and they fall in love. They overcome all kinds of interference from scumbags and homewreckers, and end up happily together. This is a sweet romance, though the female lead’s illness may bring a little angst midway through. Of course, there’s also the very clichéd first-love storyline, with a misunderstanding in the middle that will be explained in the story.
