Why would you say it's important to have a happy ending in ""formula fiction"" (like ""a secret sorrow"")?

'The Secret Sorrow' opens with the dreadful and tragic past of the Faye the protagonist and concludes with finding her true love and find an escape from her haunting past. This genre follows a formula that provides the audience too, an escape from the obstacles and darkness of their real-life and find solace in their romantic world for some time.
