Twinkle Like You
In the bustling city, the female protagonist has always lived under the oppression of her mother. Her mother, a woman who values money above all else, forces the protagonist into an arranged marriage with a man she has never met—the soon-to-die male lead—just to gain more wealth and status. The protagonist feels overwhelmed with despair; she doesn't want her life to be dictated in such a way, but she is powerless to resist her mother's decisions. Just as she is about to compromise and accept the loveless marriage, an accident changes her fate. The protagonist is drugged by her uncle and runs to the street for help, where she coincidentally encounters the male lead, the very man she is supposed to marry. After being rescued by him, she has no idea that this man is the one her mother wants her to marry. Grateful for his life-saving actions, the protagonist is deeply moved by his bravery and kindness. Meanwhile, the male lead develops a strong interest in her, admiring her strength and independence. As they spend more time together, they slowly develop feelings for each other. However, the protagonist's mother looks down on their growing affection and is only concerned with whether she can inherit the family fortune. Faced with her mother's pressure and the male lead's deep feelings, the protagonist makes a brave decision. She decides to marry the male lead—not for money, but for love. She tells her mother that she will not let money control her life and that she wants to create happiness with the man she loves. With her persistence, she and the male lead are together, facing life's challenges. To her surprise, she later discovers that the male lead is indeed her arranged husband. The male lead, too, feels fortunate that the woman he married is the protagonist. After going through a series of events, the male lead's health improves, and the couple lives happily ever after.
