    The male lead is eight years older than the female lead, and the female lead is six years older. In both cases, the male lead is significantly older, creating an older husband/younger wife dynamic. These are pure ancient romance novels. The first male lead is extremely crazy and possessive, almost obsessive. He even kisses the female lead while eating. The female lead is his only light and his salvation. The second male lead is a normal, gentle, and refined young master from a noble family, the rather old-fashioned and restrained type. The female lead is very quirky, cute, lively, and cheerful—the contrast is striking.
