I read this quite some time ago so the details are a little bit vague. It was a historical bg which starts with I think the FL chasing the ML. They do end up getting married but the feelings are not reciprocated from the ML's side. The one scene I remember is that the ML and the FL were out for this trip and the FL ends up separating from the ML. She then gets stuck in a cave and then ends up using a dagger to kill that tiger in that cave. She does live but she is in a coma or something
