Why these tropes fit
Persephone and Hades's relationship goes public, threatening to expose Persephone's identity as the Goddess of Spring. Hades carries a hellish history that others use to try to warn her away. After a tragedy leaves Persephone heartbroken and Hades unwilling to intervene, she takes action independently, striking bargains with severe consequences. Confronted with a darker side of Hades she never knew and devastating loss, Persephone questions whether she can truly become Hades's queen.
