   This is an ensemble piece. The main plot revolves around a marriage of convenience that blossoms into love, while the subplot involves a gangster's illegitimate son seeking revenge. It's a heartwarming love story where a vengeful Scorpio man meets a naive, cheerful, and passionate Pisces woman (the female lead isn't a naive or innocent character). The revenge plot is quite gory (everyone, regardless of gender, is ruthless; anyone even slightly foolish will die), so I wouldn't recommend it if you don't like that kind of thing. [Laughs]
