Summer Cicadas and Evening Breezes

Seven-year age gap / A guiding lover / Morning mist

The first time the heroine met the male lead, she was the wealthy heiress everyone envied, and he was one of the applicants for a bodyguard position. She didn't choose him because he looked too fierce.

The second time they met, she'd fallen from the heights into the dust, and he reached out to help her in her moment of need.

She could read the scorn and contempt in other people's eyes, but not the look in his when he gazed at her.

The heroine could never understand why the male lead, already so poor and still responsible for caring for his grandmother, had brought her home.

After all, as soon as she arrived, a goose chased her all around the yard. She broke the dishes that had been Grandma's dowry from when she was young, and pulled up a whole bunch of weeds thinking they were chives.

The villagers urged the male lead to send her away. Before her family officially went bankrupt, maybe he could get a big payoff from them.

The male lead glanced at the motorcycle he was halfway through repairing, clenched his jaw, and said nothing.

The heroine waited for his answer, but was afraid of what it might be.

As she hurried away, she missed what he said.

"Since I brought her home, I'll take good care of her. I can afford the extra expense."

Content warning: Neither lead is perfect.

Mutual feelings, 1v1. Don't break up my ship.
