Poorer FL/rich ML. FL enters into some sort of contract relationship with the ML or his family for both their good, with no intention of falling in love. Both are romantic, tropey, and very enjoyable dramas.

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.
