    The female lead in this book is just an ordinary type. The original novel describes her as neither beautiful nor ugly, with average grades—the kind who easily blends into a crowd. She has a crush on the male lead for almost ten years, but he doesn't even know she's there during their three years of high school [almost crying emoji]. Later, when they reunite as adults, the female lead finally takes the initiative.

    Does an ordinary girl need a reason to like someone? What exactly does she like about someone she secretly admires? Perhaps she likes his good looks, but she's poor, ordinary, and not even good-looking, and she can't afford to work part-time to pay for her tuition. She's then bullied by the school beauty, who throws yogurt at her. Enraged, she throws it back, only to have her part-time job boss withhold her wages. She overhears the school beauty throw yogurt at her and then hears him confessing his love to her. Furious, she randomly picks a taller, more handsome stranger—who turns out to be her brother—and begs him to be her boyfriend, throwing yogurt back at both of them. Nothing is more painful than hearing him with someone else. He mocks her as an ugly duckling, and she jumps into a river in anger. He saves her, and they both lose their memories but are put to sleep by drugs. When they're found, the school beauty is furious and wants to kill her. Why did he save her? Their feelings become a mess. She was initially jealous of someone she didn't have a legitimate reason for being with, but now it seems like two brothers are fighting over her, a battleground of force and pursuit, a chaotic and desperate struggle. Whom should she choose now?
