    ❤️‍🔥, The male and female leads have a contractual relationship. Later, the male lead's "white moonlight" (ideal love interest) returns, and the female lead decisively leaves. But unexpectedly! The male lead's so-called casual fling turns out to be him falling in love first. ❤️‍🔥, The male and female leads are both substitutes. What contract or marriage? Nothing compares to the "white moonlight." The male lead's arrogance is ultimately proven wrong (the female lead's "white moonlight" is more important than him).
