To be able to attend the same school as him, she studied relentlessly, pulling all-nighters to achieve the best possible result, but even that only brought her the lowest score. However, being in the same school as him was enough for her. Yet, he, the perennial top student, always mocked her for being the worst, and she could only envy and congratulate him. She hid her crush so well that he had no idea she had liked him for so many years. But this life was also bittersweet. Her roommate, the school beauty, asked her to pass on a love letter to him, and she began to feel jealous of this unrequited love. He mistakenly believed that her confession had soiled the love letter, crushing her unrequited love. Her patriarchal family wanted her to marry him and become a "brother-supporting demon" (a term used to describe someone who prioritizes their brother's needs over their own).
