Whether it is a misunderstood villainess being pampered by her doting brothers or a frail hero shielded from a cruel world by an overbearing clan, these stories tap into our deepest desires for unconditional support and security.

It is not just about the protection; it is about the unwavering loyalty that defies kingdoms, politics, and fate itself.
