Aloof on the outside, warm-hearted orphan x outwardly warm, inwardly aloof fatherly shop owner

Mutual healing

Jiang Rong is a student with average grades, no different from any other ordinary high schooler.

But she's beautiful, so beautiful that people marvel at first glance, only to feel she's bad luck when they look again.

Because of her strange clothes, everyone around her calls her a bringer of calamity. Her parents divorced, her stepfather jumped to his death, her mother went mad, and her father ended up in prison. It all began with her birth.

But Jiang Rong doesn't seem to care what others think. She assumed life would go on like this, day by day, and that she could leave once she got into college. That was until a stranger moved in next door.

She'd seen him at the newly opened coffee shop downstairs. The staff all called him the manager.

That was the first time they met.

The second time was during a summer downpour.

Jiang Rong was being chased by debt collectors and instinctively knocked on his door.

After that, they kept running into each other...

He never expected his coldness to make an exception for her, again and again.
