    I haven't read many of these, but basically, if the female lead is a rich heiress, she probably wouldn't just casually agree to an arranged marriage and then fall in love. The first two books I recommended have female leads who are from wealthy families, but aren't particularly pampered. The third one features a true rich heiress, with a CEO as the male lead, and it's a sweet arranged marriage that blossoms into love.
