Guardianship blooms into love until buried scandals sever them.

A young man with nothing left agrees to a guardianship arrangement with an older woman weighed down by debt and visible scars. Their shared roof becomes a place of quiet mending where mutual care deepens into romantic attachment. Long-hidden family scandals and deliberate schemes then shatter their fragile bond, forcing them onto separate paths. Each must confront the past and rebuild themselves before any reunion becomes possible.
