    The story revolves around a man and woman who, both already working, meet again due to a mix-up. They are both physically attracted to each other. The woman, due to her average appearance and other reasons, is somewhat insecure and doesn't accept the man's advances. The man, however, broadens her horizons and cultivates her abilities, and they eventually get together. Then, it's the man's turn to feel insecure because of his physical disability, haha. When love blossoms, melancholy follows. To outsiders, the man is a gentle, strong, and aloof young master. But the closer you get to him, the more you discover he's incredibly jealous. He fears the woman will abandon him because of his disability, and constantly tests her love for him with playful rejection. At the same time, he often thinks, "Oh, my love is so adorable," unconsciously transforming into a doting father. The man is very clingy to the woman, but generally not unreasonable. He supports her exploration of the world, and even though his physical limitations confine him to a wheelchair, he doesn't want to hinder her progress. It contains tropes like a broken mirror mended, a wife-chasing drama, and the male lead resorting to crying, tantrums, and even suicide threats. (Highlighted manually) In short, it's a story about a high-and-mighty woman spreading her fragrance to lure her unsuspecting lover into a trap.
