   "What Should I Do If I Want to Steal Him Home and Hide Him?" Is a sweet and slightly angsty romance that's incredibly heart-wrenching! Wei Ni experiences an earthquake warning late at night. In her panicked escape, her first instinct is to knock on her neighbor's door, showing her kindness and soft heart. The boy in her next-door couple is a sensitive, love-starved, easily hurt, and extremely insecure young man. He's easily moved to tears by the smallest things, and after an argument, he'll lower his head, wipe away tears, and beg for forgiveness. He's afraid of being abandoned, afraid of being uncared for, so cautious it's heartbreaking. He doesn't have a strong presence, only a deep-seated anxiety. He only sheds tears secretly when wronged, and his only support is the people around him. The female lead is gentle and responsible; seeing him vulnerable and tearful, she can't help but feel sorry for him, patiently comforting him, protecting him, and making sure he's safe and sound. When the earthquake strikes, their true feelings are revealed in that life-or-death moment. The female lead's instinctive concern makes the already insecure young man even more dependent. A soft-hearted, crybaby male lead × a gentle, soft-hearted female lead—it's both heart-wrenching and sweet, every scene is so sweet it'll make your heart tremble!
