    The female lead transmigrates into a book with the mission of reducing the male lead's destructive potential. The story gets incredibly sweet later on. The male lead, neglected by his parents since childhood and lacking security, fears the female lead won't like him. The female lead constantly makes him feel incredibly safe. They pamper each other—it's so sweet! Highly recommended!!! The current male and female leads have a very good relationship with the original male and female leads. The current female lead is the darling of the group, and they trust each other implicitly and are firmly committed to their choices. The original male and female leads were simple and upright people.
