Most female leads in historical romance novels live through miserable experiences. They’ll always be misunderstood, betrayed by their family, misunderstood by their lovers, bullied by their mothers-in-law, framed by their rivals…
They’ll always be kind, forgive those who betray them, fall in love with someone who repeatedly hurts them, treat their evil mothers-in-law and their rivals’ children as their own, before finally obtaining their happy ending.
