A down-on-her-luck heiress who refuses to give up × a cold-on-the-outside, warm-on-the-inside top student who’s her creditor. They heal each other, going from “I owe you money” to “I owe you the rest of my life.”
One day, the Xu family heiress, who used to spend money like water, wakes up as an overworked wage slave buried in debt.
After I accidentally break the coffee machine and the manager flies into a rage, the top student from the shop, who’s always so cold and expressionless, walks over and says quietly, “Take it out of my pay.”
I’m so grateful, I think she must be an angel sent from heaven.
That is, until she hands me a “Tutoring and Debt Repayment Plan” and adds a daily dose of sharp-tongued criticism: “Xu Nian, how could you get this problem wrong? Did all that designer-brand baggage squeeze your brain out?”
Me: “...?”
From then on, my miserable life consists of working for her by day to pay off my debt and being forced to do practice problems by night.
But later, I realize there’s something a little off about this cold-faced creditor...
When I’m on my period, she calls me “a delicate princess” while secretly leaving brown sugar ginger tea on my desk.
When I’m being bullied, she says it’s “a nuisance,” then tears into the troublemaker until they question their entire existence.
Then one day, I happen to see my name written all over the title page of her notebook.
The newest entry is a tiny, timid heart beside her sharp handwriting.
Me: “???”
Jiang Yu, weren’t we supposed to be nothing more than creditor and debtor?
Judging by the look in your eyes right now... are you planning to make me pay you back with more than just money?
