Chapter 1
When you and your soulmate share a significant event, the Glow™ appears. It could be a first touch, a first kiss, you never know.
In the 1500s, soulmates are somewhat complicated. See, female beings are still married off at young ages. About a quarter of them never find their soulmates. Another quarter are married to their soulmates (or end up married to them if their first husband dies). The remaining half get disowned after their Glow™ happens with someone else.
Disowning, imprisonment, exiling, execution, you get the idea.
But even if they did find their soulmate, the relationship wasn't always healthy. Being the 1500s, women were still mistreated a lot. It is said that your soulmate is supposed to treat you the best, always be there for you, by your side, give you lots of love. To those still being abused, the thought of being treated worse gives them shivers. And so they stayed.
Some others did have it better. But not by much. These people are the ones in court. Or more specifically, direct relations with the king. Like his wife.

And this is where the story begins.
