   The bittersweet feeling stemmed from a childhood crush. As a poor, bottom-of-the-class student, she could never compare to the wealthy, well-connected school beauty. Yet, from the moment she was born, she had a crush on her childhood sweetheart. To be able to attend the same school as him, she would stay up all night studying, but even then, she could only manage to rank last. However, just being in the same school as him was enough for her. But he, the perennial top student, always mocked her for being last, and she could only envy and congratulate him. She hid her crush so well that he had no idea she had liked him for so many years. But this life was also bittersweet. Her roommate, the school beauty, asked her to pass on a love letter to him, and she began to suffer from a lack of recognition. Jealousy led him to mistakenly believe that her confession had soiled the love letter, thus crushing her unrequited love. Her patriarchal family wanted her to marry him and become a "brother-supporting demon," but she wasn't unwilling; he had politely refused. That night, she was punished by being locked out all night, resulting in heatstroke. When she woke up, he was taking care of her, which moved her deeply. She thought, "If only he loved me." Feigning amnesia, she mustered her courage and confessed, asking him if he would marry her. He changed, seriously saying, "Next year." But later, at this time the following year, she attended his engagement party with the school beauty, and even their wedding. Why did he suddenly propose to her with the school beauty's ring?
