    In this story, the male lead initially finds the female lead's distance and apparent dislike of him intriguing, but later he becomes convinced she must be his and tries everything to keep her away. This is because the female lead is reborn; in her previous life, she married the male lead and ended up a tragically jealous woman. Their marriage in the past was an arranged one. The male lead was a privileged young man, and the female lead fell in love with him at first sight. Their marriage was arranged by her aunt through a petition to the emperor, binding them together. Therefore, in the past, the male lead wasn't particularly interested in the female lead, seeing her as just another ordinary girl who liked him. In this new life, the female lead only wants to stay away from him. Since their social statuses are perfectly matched, the marriage is a natural progression. However, the female lead's deliberate sabotage of the marriage only fuels the male lead's growing curiosity about her. Later on, to escape an arranged marriage, the female lead chooses to be with a scholar traveling to the capital for the imperial examinations. The male lead then feels she must be his and frantically tries to sabotage their relationship (it's worth mentioning that the scholar isn't a good person). The male lead seems to be a rather conflicted type; the more you ignore me, the more interested I become.
