Another theme is misunderstandings. Characters may misunderstand each other's intentions and end up in a marriage - like situation. For instance, a character might think they are just helping another out in a difficult situation, but it is misconstrued as a marriage proposal. And then there are also themes related to fate. Sometimes, the plot is designed in such a way that fate seems to push characters into these unintended marriages, like in some xianxia novels where there are prophecies or fated encounters that lead to such situations.
One popular 'unintended marriage' Chinese novel could be 'A Record of Mortal's Cultivation to Immortality'. In this novel, there are some storylines that involve unintended marriages or relationships formed in unexpected ways. The main character often gets involved in various complex situations, and some of the romantic or marital aspects are not initially intended but develop over time.
One interesting aspect could be the exploration of complex human behavior. In such a novel, the characters' actions might lead to unforeseen outcomes, which can be really engaging as it reflects real - life unpredictability.
One possible story could be a wife who accidentally got too close to a male colleague at work. They were working on a project together and often had to stay late. Due to the long hours and the stress of the job, she started sharing more personal feelings with him than she should have. But she didn't realize it was bordering on inappropriate until her husband noticed she was always talking about this colleague. She didn't have any intention of cheating, but her actions made it seem that way.
In such novels, a common characteristic is a significant difference in social status or family background between the spouses. This often leads to conflicts and challenges in their relationship.
One well - known author could be Tom Clancy. His novels often involve complex plots where actions have unintended and far - reaching consequences. For example, in his military - themed novels, a decision made on the battlefield can have unexpected political ramifications.
Since I don't know the actual novel, it could potentially have themes like redemption. Maybe the characters have made some unintended sins and they are seeking to atone for them. Another possible theme could be guilt, as the 'sin' in the title might suggest that the characters are burdened by their actions.

One unintended lesson could be that in some fairy tales, the idea of waiting for a prince or princess to save you. This might subconsciously teach kids to be passive in their own lives instead of being proactive problem - solvers. For example, in 'Snow White', she waits in the forest until the prince comes. In real life, kids should be taught to take actions and not just rely on others to rescue them from difficulties.
Another theme might be the clash of cultures or values. If it's a marriage between two people from different backgrounds, this could lead to a sense of being a stranger. For example, different family values or life goals can create a rift and make one feel like an outlier in the marriage. It could also explore themes of self - discovery within the context of marriage. As the character feels like a stranger, they may start to re - evaluate themselves and their needs, which is a common theme in many relationship - centered novels.
