I answered a similar question here - http://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/1001486/
Except "Lover's in conflict" all the ones I mentioned there had happy marriage free of any forced conditions.

At this point, I can only recommend Goong. It is one of my favorite romance manhua. There are approximately 170 chapters but it is worth the trouble. You can skip a few chapters at the beginning to make the reading progress faster.
Goong is about a pre-arranged marriage. The two protagonists hate each other at the beginning but then the girl falls in love with her husband and confesses to him but he remains cold towards her. Hence, there will be a lot of angst and anticipation especially that the hubby's ex-girlfriend is still in the picture, not only that but she was the one to whom he had proposed in the first place and his future wife was there when it happened; but will her love remain unrequited? You have just to read and see. (●￣(ｴ)￣●)

Uwaahh...is "Goong" really that good? I fell in love with the art & wanted to try it right away! But then my cousin said it's too dramatic & cliche. So I put it on my "plan to read later" list. But when you, Lisa-chan, praise it so much I can't help but get curious again (=・ω・=)

Oh well. Each person has his/her own point of view but for me it was neither dramatic nor cliché. The story was complicated because it involved court intrigues (sister-in-law plotting in order to make sure that her son accesses the thrown etc.). There were too many intrigues going on in the background. Perhaps the story becomes a little bit overboard when the husband's cousin mounts a plot to separate the couple and succeeds at it. However, it was a good manga. There were a lot of time and effort invested in it and it is unique because the author created a whole new fictional factual world. Nowadays, the Korean royal family doesn't have anything to do with governing the country but the mangaka built her story modelling it after the British Royal Monarchy example. She created a universe where she imagined that the Korean royal family is still active in every day's life. That was pretty genuine and studious of her (●￣(ｴ)￣●). As per the couple, the ebb and flow of their interaction was interesting because the male lead would not give in to the female lead (his wife). He was gentle, tender and protective towards his ex-girlfriend but cold, rude and arrogant with his wife. SPOILER (actually for me I think that he has always thought of his ex-girlfriend as a friend, that is why he treated her kinder. In contrast, the more he realized that he wanted his wife and could fall for her, the more he became a tsundere character, and the more he pushed her away out of arrogance and fear of trusting her. More than being a tsundere character, he had a "complex" because he was raised in a cold environment {his mother had also been in an unrequited love situation at the beginning since his father had lingering and passionate feelings towards his ex-girlfriend who became his sister-in-law by marrying his brother}. In this manga, there are several unrequited love stories but the mangaka emphasized the fact that a person can love his/ her partner even if s/he loved someone else before tying the knot because marriage creates a form of compassion which slowly leads to love). Anyway, never give up on a story (whether it is a comic, a book or a movie) before checking it yourself ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄ . You might be missing out on the greatest adventure of all, you know.

(☆▽☆) As expected of Lisa-chan. Such a detailed overview! Thank you very much. The political royal monarchy sounds really interesting. I am intrigued. The guy sounds exactly like the ones that make me want to jump into the manga page & smack 'em BUT I'll see this one to the end, as the story sounds like there's more than it seems. I am glad I asked you about it (づ￣ ³￣)づ

No problem but you need to be patient because by reading this manga you're jumping into the intricacies of the royal court and its intrigues (I think it is meant for a "mature" readership). You're gonna learn too about the other characters' struggles with their ambitions and their unrequited love ... and read the ending with an open mind because it is not a cliché and we can see through it that two people can love each other even if the physical boundaries between them remain. Perhaps unrequited love can become requited as well as transforming into an ethereal relationship between soulmates (●￣(ｴ)￣●)
