Guys... Deep down we all know nothing can beat a good old timer romance...
The formula for success has already been perfected.
Boy meets girl
Boy is very good hearted and kind with no flaws
Girl is good hearted and kind too, but lives under an evil and abusive matronly figure (because the patriarchy never did anything wrong)
Boy saves girl because she couldn't do anything about her own situation and was a totally helpless damsel.
Girl is imediatelly madly in love with him with him out of sheer gratitude, no need for any questions, just full devotion to him and what HE wants.
Boy marries girl and they live happily ever after... The end.
Simple really.
