The love maintained by poisonous mushrooms

The male protagonist, Woodcock, is picky, egoistic, and dependent on his mother. He spends all his time working. His mother shows up when he is weak and talks to him, and he always wants to hear what his mother has to say. He is the absolute center of woodcock couture.

The heroine, alma, is serene and delicate, but firm and resolute. Her eyes were always on Woodcock, following his every step. She wants to exclude the noble female clients around the male host and promote her sovereignty.

But what keeps their love alive is the poisonous mushroom that can slow Woodcock down, weak, open, and needy. In a word, it was the intervention of external factors that allowed them to achieve harmony, so that the men and women of the original two orbits depended on each other and needed each other.
