   I initially thought it would be the old trope of "the female lead using her beauty to win over a powerful figure," but it turned out to be completely different. The female lead remained clear-headed throughout: the trust needed to be protected, the workshop needed to be saved, the funds needed to be secured, and feelings could wait. She flirted with the powerful figure to make money, but she never expected to end up getting herself into an even bigger mess.
