    It's not exactly a time-travel story. The female lead can predict the future. Before her powers are awakened, she's a money-grubbing, spoiled girl who only wants to be a rich wife and doesn't want to work hard. After awakening, she finds her purpose and becomes a good girl and a good wife. The male lead's family background creates a complex mix of feelings for her, and he only truly realizes he's fallen for her long ago after marriage. The male lead is well-developed, and while the plot doesn't have many dramatic ups and downs, it's very engaging. This is a book I've been following, but I'll only recommend it after it's finished.
