Memory loss trope except the character who gets amnesia latches onto the ONE PERSON they shouldn’t trust. “I don’t remember you but I get the feeling we used to be close?” while their worst enemy smirks and says, “Oh, absolutely” (with the intention of killing) but THEN

“If we’re both single by a certain age we will marry each other” is always a fun story concept but it could be even better if the pact is made between rivals as a drunken dare and they go on to sabotage each other’s relationships because they’ve been secretly in love all along

“If we’re not married by this age we’ll marry each other” except they’re rivals and it’s a threat more than a promise. Too bad one of them has been in love this whole time and is prepared to do whatever it takes to make sure the other stays single until then.
