The story I read was set in a future world where there are very few women but many men. So this girl and her friend are about to be auctioned off to men. She is auctioned off to a man who had "observed her" at the auction. She marries him but must call him "master". Eventually they have a child and live a good life..etc. but she is treated more as a servant than an equal.
