   Although the female lead is an orphan, she has quite a few people protecting her, though most of them have their own ulterior motives, which is a bit frustrating later on. Especially the scene where she's attacked by that guy surnamed Fang at the school gate, with the official watching and trying to manipulate her – it feels like his brain has been severely damaged. Regarding the female lead's parents, many people speculated they might have faked their deaths, but it turns out they are indeed dead. The male lead's uncle is later found, but there's no clear explanation of where he went. As for the male and female leads, their romance feels a bit weak; there's no obvious feeling of a loving couple. Their interactions at the beginning are more like friends, only becoming apparent as a couple after their backgrounds are revealed.
