Why these tropes fit

A heartbroken believer in true love strikes a dangerous bargain with the wicked, morally-gray Prince of Hearts, trading three kisses to stop her true love's impending wedding. The bargain spirals into perilous territory as the immortal's true plans emerge, pitting the heroine between the love she lost and the enigmatic prince, with the threat of either a fairy-tale ending or exquisite heartbreak and high emotional angst threading throughout.
