   The female lead studies diligently in every world, knowing that only what she learns truly belongs to her. She strives to learn and follows a different path in each world, which is quite admirable. (Postscript: This is a 1v1 story; the female and male leads are childhood sweethearts, but fate decrees that the female lead, the "white moonlight" (idealized love interest), must remain alone. The story then follows her as she continues to learn and improve while searching for the male lead.
