    The male protagonist is insecure and secretly in love with the female protagonist. He silently sacrifices a lot for her, including dropping out of school because of her. The female protagonist's rebirth is a result of the male protagonist trading his life for hers. From then on, they share both fortune and misfortune, and are bound together by life and death. If the female protagonist dies, the male protagonist will also die. However, if the male protagonist dies, the female protagonist will only become weak. Reborn, the female protagonist is no longer the obedient child at home; she bravely goes to the penniless, good-for-nothing male protagonist. The male protagonist, who has secretly loved her for 10 years, thinks it's a windfall and can't believe that this fairy-like girl is going to be his girlfriend. He thinks he's going to be a sucker, and he'd be happy to be a cuckold. But it turns out to be a misunderstanding.
