[Marriage first, love later + secret identity + powerful male lead + groveling redemption]
On her wedding day, the groom runs away, leaving her to be humiliated by all the guests. At her lowest point, a disfigured security guard helps her up. “The floor’s cold.” She wipes away her tears and makes a deal with him: she’ll heal his face, and he’ll help her get revenge. Later, when she is backed into a corner, he strides into the negotiation room in a bespoke suit, leading a top-tier team of lawyers. He takes her hand and declares to the world, “You laid a hand on my wife. Did you ask me first? Allow me to introduce myself. I’m the Underworld King of the Dark Night Group.” His scars were a disguise, and he wore that security uniform to protect her alone. From abandoned wife to queen, from a contract to true love, she risked herself in this gamble and won back her whole life.
