   The female lead's mother was a prostitute, causing her to be bullied throughout her life. She learned to please others from a young age. When she encountered difficulties, she sought help from the male lead. Later, she met him again at a bar, where he forcibly took her. After a murder case caused their identities to be switched, the male lead began to humbly beg the female lead. Anyway, it's a very good story; the female lead isn't a strong, assertive woman, but rather gentle.
