A sharp-tongued, bitter niece who’s cold inside but warm on the outside × a rational, aloof, robot-brained distant uncle
Xia Shiyu has a friendly-looking face, but when she opens her mouth, she can lay waste to everything within ten miles. When she gets vicious, she doesn’t spare even herself.
And Song Tianbai, a bachelor at the pinnacle of single life who suddenly finds himself playing “Dad” despite never marrying or having children, refuses to indulge her. This isn’t allowed, and neither is that.
Xia Shiyu feels as if she’s merely traded the orphanage for another place to suffer. She can’t even fight back when people bully her, and she has to eat awful medicinal meals every day. She’s had enough. Just as she’s about to pack her things and go back to her old home, Song Tianbai, who has never indulged her before, suddenly becomes a different person.
“From now on, do whatever you want. I’ll have your back.”
Xia Shiyu be like: Oh no, a virus has infected the robot species! The world’s about to end, run!
Song Tianbai: …
Straightforward synopsis:
After her parents die, the world changes with each passing day, but Xia Shiyu remains forever trapped on the day they died.
She searches for every possible clue to the truth, not caring if she’s manipulated, treated with disdain, or misunderstood.
The only adult by her side, Song Tianbai, goes from coldly watching on to eventually reaching out to help her find the truth.
Xia Shiyu is shocked. “Who are you? Get out of my uncle! There’s no way my uncle would help me!”
Song Tianbai: Maybe it’s because you’re the soft part I’ve always been missing.
P.S. The leads’ relationship is purely familial.
