    This is a story from the female lead's perspective about unrequited love coming true, and from the male lead's perspective about an arranged marriage that blossoms into love. The male lead is initially very straightforward and blunt, while the female lead isn't actually afraid of him, but rather has a crush on him and doesn't know how to interact with him, making her a little timid. However, the male lead thinks she's afraid of him and repeatedly emphasizes that he's not a monster and she doesn't need to be afraid. Later, there's a short "wife-chasing-after-the-cremation" scene where the male lead is very skilled at flirting, creating a highly ambiguous and volatile atmosphere, which is quite entertaining.
