    The female lead mistakenly believes the male lead isn't interested in her, but in reality, he's already completely smitten. The story begins with him waiting for her to return to the country and then tricking her into marriage. He wants to indulge her but is also unwilling to accept that she truly doesn't like him anymore, so he starts taking the initiative, hahaha. A super sweet short story, you can finish it in an hour.
