    Isn't this the one with the Buddhist prayer beads? The male lead puts Buddhist prayer beads on the female lead, doting on her immensely. He's incredibly obsessive, and the female lead indulges him. It's a love story that goes from school uniforms to wedding dresses—super sweet! However, the male lead is quite scary in the first few chapters, so please, please don't be scared away!!! The later chapters are incredibly sweet, and the male lead changes himself for the female lead.
