The story isn't melodramatic. The heroine transmigrates and has terrible luck, but she's no fool. She's also a master at flirting with men. Who says someone who is gentle through and through can't find happiness? She just happens to like this kind of man. She loves him, so she tells him plainly. His gaze is as gentle as the sea. No matter how harsh reality becomes, he protects her like the warm winter sun. He understands his own feelings, but never expects anything from her.
Message: The gentle second male lead is, in fact, the real male lead.
