    🙋This is a sweet romance novel about marriage first, then love later. The male lead is initially "all he cares about is work," but later, after falling for the female lead, he becomes both charming and domineering, forcefully healing her psychological issues. The funniest part is when he mistakenly believes she likes someone else, leading to infidelity and forced love. He even kisses her and gets slapped, yet he still says, "I'm sorry, hit me, but I won't change, I'll kiss you again next time!" That cheeky yet devoted guy is so relatable! Our female lead suffers from a childhood trauma that deprives her of love, and only the male lead's unwavering and forceful love can pull her out of her misery. They're a perfect match!

The female lead is clearly an independent thinker, but her family's belief in protecting her means keeping her sheltered and avoiding any hardship. When facing difficulties, she demonstrates remarkable composure and doesn't panic; she prefers to solve problems independently, showing a strong and resilient personality. The male lead secretly loves her, but he understands her character, recognizing her strength and independence. He offers help when she encounters problems but doesn't dominate her.
