    ① The story begins with the protagonists already married; it's an arranged marriage between their families. The female lead is a wealthy heiress and a reporter. She's independent, strong-willed, clear-headed, and capable. The male lead has people to take care of. At the start, the female lead wants a divorce; she wants it, and no one can stop her. The male lead is hypocritical, arrogant, and stubborn. I also highly recommend the story of the female lead's relentless pursuit of her love.
