There are people who marry the partner chosen by their parents without ever meeting the other person before and live happily ever after. There are also couples who initially got married because they truly loved each other, but now they can't bear to get divorced.

Men and women can understand each other, but it is impossible for husbands and wives to understand each other perfectly.

No matter how good her educational background is, how good her character is, and how beautiful her face is, try marrying her.

There will be other people who will be very different from when you were lovers.

That's why it's better to start 'looking for a partner' from the people around us first.

After all, there is no guarantee that you will get a better partner by looking far away.

1. Public Marriage Proposal

"Yes, I will be there soon."

Lisa pedaled her bike vigorously while shouting through her earphones to the person on the phone.

The girl's bicycle basket was full of flowers the size of an arm's reach, flowers specially prepared by a horticulture professor from his greenhouse. It took 10 minutes by bicycle to get to the student cafeteria where she worked.

The sudden downpour of rain, like a hurricane in a tropical country, stopped in an instant. As the sun's shy rays began to reveal themselves, all that remained were thin raindrops that flew in the wind like mist.

The fragrance of grass and soil carried by the humid air filled her lungs. Unlike the fragrance of the ferns in the greenhouse which was very humid, Lisa liked the fresh fragrance that came after this rain.

Even until last week, the weather had been unpredictable. It was too cold for spring. Sometimes it even snowed. Then, all of a sudden, the weather warmed up and as if it had been waiting for the right time, the surrounding nature instantly turned into a soft green color. Soon, the mountains, fields, and hills will surely be filled with green grass and flowers.

Lisa loved this kind of spring air, and after passing the turn of the path with the mossy stone wall, she would arrive at her favorite place. Lisa stopped her bike for a moment and opened the hood of her raincoat. She looked at the wild grassland hill.

Hwaniwon, this was the place she thought was the most beautiful on this vast campus. Although signs of spring were still hard to find, there were bright yellow adonis flowers that had been blooming ever since the snow had fallen last week. The ginger plants around the fence are also showing their yellowish-green buds. Soon, white rock jasmine and Pseudostellaria heterophylla flowers will appear, signaling the arrival of spring. Maybe they will appear at the same time as the prince too.

Lisa's face turns red as if someone else knows her heart and she quickly looks around. No one knew that Jeon Jae Hyun, the person she called the prince of the Department of Horticulture, was often in this place, other than in his research room.

When she first saw him at Hwaniwon, it felt as if there was a light shining from behind his back. Since then, Lisa would sometimes glance at the Hwaniwon at times like this, when the sun was beginning to leave the hill.

Whether it was because of the rain, Lisa couldn't find any trace of her prince's whereabouts and she exhaled in disappointment.

She was just about to turn around when her eyes caught a glimpse of someone on one side of the hill. That person was definitely not her prince. That person had foolishly trampled the flower field.

If it continued like that, the corydalis and katakuri flower buds that would turn this hill purple would die before they could bloom.

"Hey."
