May overlap with EvilDesiresInnocence.

Related tropes: VillainousCrush; IHaveYouNowMyPretty; DamselInDistress; HypnotizeTheCaptive; MadLove; AbhorrentAdmirer; AbductionIsLove; SaveThePrincess; DroitDuSeigneur. Often TruthInTelevision -- in fact this one's a very old real-world practice -- but it's way more depressing in RealLife.

* In ''[[Literature/SixteenThirtyTwo 1634: The Baltic War]]'', [[spoiler:Eddie Cantrell]] has fallen totally in love with Anne Cathrine, the 15-year-old [[InsistentTerminology daughter of the King]] of Denmark, but fears his love to be hopeless due to her jailbait age (he is 20) and social standing. When escaping a destroyed prison, he and Anne Cathrine have a great deal of sex for two days, leading him to believe he is going to be executed, as the King reads a huge scroll of serious charges against him. But, when he realizes this trope is being offered, he is ecstatic. (So is Anne Cathrine.)

* ''Series/LoisAndClark'': The first season was one long, protracted plot by Lex Luthor to achieve this. When his dream wedding to Lois (intended to culminate with Superman's painful death) collapsed like a bad souffle, he resorted to kidnapping and brainwashing Lois instead. Later, his sons, Jaxon Xavier and Lex Luthor Jr., follow the same script.

* The ScarpiaUltimatum is used for this in ''Literature/ThePhantomOfTheOpera''. It's an unusually sympathetic version, though -- it's pretty explicit that Erik has no intention of raping Christine (the man seems to think of wives as pets or accessories that one takes on walks and buys pretty things for, rather than as sexual partners). Nevertheless, Erik still was willing to blow Christine, Raoul (her {{Love Interest|s}}), The Persian, and half of Paris up with a stockhold of gunpowder if Christine refuses his proposal - so yeah he's still a poster boy for this trope.
** Though the Phantom does ultimately subvert this when Christine kisses him and he [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy lets]] her and Raoul run away free.

When she finally meets him after many years and insists they are to be married, Kyoushiro is visibly horrified. Meanwhile, nearly all of Daimovic secretly spy on the conversation for the drama, shamelessly enjoying Kyoshiro's predicament.
