Ai Rin's world crumbles after an unfortunate event, leaving her uncertain of the life she once knew. Her vision has faded, and she can't remember whether her "family" is genuine or a figment of her imagination. The existence of siblings and an angry mother are but a distant memory.

Once a believer in magic and bedtime stories, Lee had long given up on anything remotely resembling enchanted tales. Fate brings the two together - Ai Rin, the writer of whimsical stories, and Lee Su, a seller of hats. A romance blossoms between them despite their stark differences.
