The female lead attended prestigious universities for both her undergraduate and graduate studies and later became a diplomat. For the female lead, their relationship developed gradually; but for the male lead, it was premeditated. Overall, it's a strong, pure love story. The female lead has her own career, and the male lead loves her deeply, thinks only of her, and respects her very much. The chemistry between them is incredibly strong, and it's very enjoyable to watch! At the same time, the male lead is also the female lead's salvation.

The female lead accidentally hits the male lead, causing him to lose his memory, and then takes him to another place where she uses all sorts of manipulative tactics on him, making him deliver takeout and stuff. It's hilarious! The everyday interactions between the male and female leads are also really great (and heartwarming). It's absolutely incredible, incredibly good!
