    The female protagonist in this period drama is very spoiled. She's a pampered young lady sent to the countryside, and the male protagonist helps her with all the farming. He's a wolf cub from a landlord's family who had an affair, so his background is bad. He has a small nest in the mountains and loves the female protagonist very much. He's a very doting couple between a rough man and a delicate flower. In her previous life, the female protagonist let the male protagonist down, so she's reborn to make up for it.
