Why these tropes fit

Aspeth Honori, a noble Holder's daughter, must secretly join the Royal Artifactual Guild after her father gambles away the household's magical artifacts, putting her family at risk of losing their hold. Denied entry as a woman, she enters a marriage of convenience with a surly guild member—a minotaur approaching his rut—to serve as her chaperone. She conceals her noble identity from her new spouse, undertakes quests into ancient underground ruins to retrieve arcane items, and navigates forced proximity with her monstrous husband as she trains at the guild, thwarts a fortune hunter, and tries to save her family.
