    The female lead is a college student, shrewd and ambitious, using her beauty to her advantage, but she's also incredibly hardworking. The two male leads are brothers with identical tastes, always eyeing the same things, including women—they even buy the same gifts! Both male leads are chaste and older than the female lead. She falls for the older brother first, but he hesitates due to the age gap. After a few days away on a business trip, she rejects him and chooses the younger brother, whom she also adores. However, he later becomes somewhat manic and possessive, which she can't tolerate. She tries to dump him, but can't, so she seeks help from the more powerful male lead. Actually, the female lead admires strength and likely prefers the older brother (initially unaware they are brothers). She's extremely cautious, always having a backup plan, anticipating any potential problems.
