    There's a TV adaptation, but I recommend reading the novel [kissing emoji]. It's a marriage of convenience, meaning it's in name only. The male and female leads are unhappy and each do their own thing. They're so proud they have a mutual unrequited love (can they even live on their pride? [What emoji]). When someone asks, "Don't you get tired of this constant fighting in your love?", The female lead replies, "Don't insult love [facepalm emoji]". The novel is really good.
