    💕💕It's like a dream come true! The male lead seems to be in control of everything, using force to possess the female lead, but in reality, he becomes the one begging in their relationship, groveling and pleading. This is because the female lead sees him as just another character to complete a mission, never truly loving him, and even packs her bags to leave for another place 🤣, only to be intercepted by him and forcibly brought back.
