Example: Just like the movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith, the female protagonist is also very aggressive, from using weapons to physical combat, from the living room to the bedroom. Both grabbing the heart of the male lead and the reader.

2 The female lead unconsciously ‘seduce’ the male lead

Although the female had a crush on the male lead, but she feels inferior to the male lead. The female lead is naturally insensitive to love, unconsciously being close to the male lead without knowing it. For the male lead, and the more the female lead tried to avoid him, the more the male lead is interested.

3. Nanny type

The “little nanny” who is running around for the male lead is not following the instructions or is suddenly being looked at by others, and the male lead will be uncomfortable.

4. Independent type

The female lead has a bad life, but she has a strong heart, this spirit impress the male lead. The male lead might be pathetic first, then he gradually falls in love with her.
