You are a despised, lovesick attack.
You have no prestigious family background, no advantages, and no stunning looks. You have nothing, only a sincere heart that is worth nothing.
You are unknown and unremarkable. But you don't mind. You don't ask for a response from the person you've chosen to love. You only want to offer them your whole heart and stay by their side, protecting them forever.
Your life's only wish is for your beloved to be happy.

In an apocalypse novel, you love a rare healer who has been well protected. He understands the ways of the world but hasn't been corrupted by them. When you were gravely injured, he healed you without regard for his own safety. So you swore to spend the rest of your life protecting him.
Precious flowers are always guarded by beasts. How could an inconspicuous moth ever win?

3. Everything the protagonist does serves the plot and his character.
