* The event where your people demand your ruler set aside his wife because she is a heretic or heathen can potentially become this. If you refuse to set her aside, showing loving devotion that transcends sectarian differences, then a province in your realm that also shared her faith feels comfortable enough to become open about following it.

* Being in a tributary relationship can be this, if your overlord actually fulfills its promise of protecting you. Unlike other types of overlordship, a tributary relationship is relatively benign. The overlord only takes 12.5% of the tributary's yearly income/monarch points, and in return, they put them under their protection. The tributary, meanwhile, retains full independence and does not have to join the overlord when it's attacked. This means that the overlord will risk its life to save you from a stronger foe, but will not force you to do the same in return. Even if the overlord does not join you in battle, the sheer threat of it alone can deter most foes from trying unless they know they can win either way.

* While playing most indigenous nations that historically got crushed by colonizers and preventing that from happening probably counts, special mention goes to the 'No Trail of Tears' achievement. Playing as the Cherokee, you have to control and have cores on all of the Thirteen Colonies with all institutions embraced. Stopping the horrors of colonialism in a game all about subjugating natives and building an empire on the backs of colonies is possibly one of the most heartwarming things in the game.

** Taken further in IV's The Cossacks DLC, which allows you to choose from three native policies how your realm should interact with the natives. Picking native assimilation reduces the native uprising chance by 100%, meaning natives will never attack your colonies, which is both heartwarming and very practical.
