Centered around the theme of women's right to self-determination in a male-dominated world, the protagonist, surrounded predominantly by men, including her strict creator, uptight fiancé, adventurous boyfriend, dangerous friend, terrible husband, and clients, navigates through their attempts to use her. Despite their efforts, she consistently finds ways to benefit from them while asserting her independence. Her journey of self-discovery unveils the myriad forms of love, often concealing sinister intentions beneath its facade.
