   The male lead is possessive of the female lead, but also humble. The marriage was arranged by his family, which he didn't initially see as problematic. However, because the female lead had rejected many wealthy suitors and was afraid of being rejected again, she concealed her identity. When she discovered this, she decisively broke up with him and blocked him. The male lead begged for forgiveness, his humility and possessiveness coexisting. Influenced by her family background, the female lead felt awkward, pushing him away yet still loving him. After the engagement was broken off, she wanted to love him but dared not take the next step, displaying her own little temper in front of him.
