   The male protagonist was initially prepared to die, but after meeting the female protagonist, he was drawn to her because of her innermost feelings, which led to the rest of the story.

The male protagonist also changes from being aloof to later dressing up as the type of girl she likes to make her happy, and he becomes more humble. The minor characters also left a lot of impression on me. The butler and the nanny were also very kind to the female protagonist. Overall, they have a very happy ending.
