    The virtuous wife is the male lead, not the female lead. The male lead comes from a wealthy family, is exceptionally intelligent, and beautiful. During his university years, he became disabled due to illness, paralyzing both legs. This once-promising young man fell into despair, but he refused to give up or wallow in his pain, changing his major and starting anew. The female lead falls in love with the male lead at first sight. Through a chance encounter, they cross paths, and she acts like a steadfast, impartial rock, shielding him from some of the gossip and rumors. The main story revolves around both leads already working, meeting again due to a misunderstanding. They are both physically attracted to each other. The female lead, due to her average appearance and other reasons, is somewhat insecure and doesn't accept the male lead's advances. He broadens her horizons and cultivates her abilities, and they eventually get together. Then, it's the male lead's turn to feel insecure because of his physical condition. The story includes a "wife-chasing-after-the-cremation" plot, where the male lead contemplates suicide.
