they both have arranged marriage to a man/prince from a different country. they also never met before there marriage and unexpectedly both girls are very strong willed. 

Both stories center around the arranged marriage between a naive and charming heroine and a powerful warrior. The settings, style, and art are similar. The stories follow the relationship between the couple growing from hate to affection while dealing with issues of ruler-ship, the hero's family and personal history. Both are good, but not what you want if you're looking for a lot of kissing or a "hot" or "mature" romance. 

Both of these stories center around a weak, slightly geeky princess who turns out to have a surprisingly strong personality and her fearful protector. Art and physical character designs are similar. 

Alicia is known as the princess of death, because of the death of her first marriage partner. But then, a rumored "tyrant" proposes to her. We also have Princess Lylia who decides to marry the headless king who everyone fears. These two heroines are the embodiment of acceptance. Despite the reputation of their partners, they continue to seek out the truth beneath it. That aside, these two are hidden gems of the romance and shoujo world. 

These romances have historical settings and supernatural elements where a noble marries a girl in part for her unique abilities which will help them. The noblemen also have a dark element to them but these also have real romance and a lot of fun comedy.  

If you like male tsunderes I would suggest Shinagamihime no Saikon and Ookami-heika no Hanayome. The girls are put into quasi marriages with a wealthy nobleman who is reputed to be cruel or evil and who is feared by the people, but who really does that role more for politics and is not really a bad man at heart. The girls also are not afraid of the men in spite of that reputation and that becomes one of the reasons that they get along. The settings are both sort of historical but they are different countries and periods but they are not set in present times so they have costuming etc. They are also more humorous than serious.  read more 

Both have in common the theme of newlyweds.  

The stories are not very similar in character or plot, but have the same kind of carefree energy and humor to me.  

Both are mystery/drama with a similar aura, black-haired male leads who rule/manipulate people. Kuro Bara Alice is fantasy with vampires while Shinigamihime no Saikon is historical with social context.  

Both are about unwanted girls married off to a mean/cruel man.
