"Breadwinner" - that's what they call people like Zairah Therese Millagracia, who have no choice but to support their family alone. Even though it broke her heart to sacrifice her dreams and education, she did it for them, hoping to lift them out of poverty. When Zairah learned that her father was ill, she made the difficult decision to stop her studies. She couldn't rely on her mother, who struggled with a gambling addiction. To ensure her siblings could continue their education, she decided to drop out of college just a few months before graduating. She gave up everything for her family, yet none of them ever asked if she was okay or needed help. It felt as if her sacrifices meant nothing to them. Despite this, someone noticed her struggles: the man who became her confidant through all her challenges. Iñigo Reoj Zuñiga, the man she loved most, was always there for her. He willingly shared her burdens, providing support when she could hardly bear the weight of her responsibilities and hardships. He celebrated her joys and helped guide her through her darkest moments. For Zairah, no matter how difficult her experiences or how painful her problems are, they will always remain cherished memories.

Driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge, she has always found solace and success in her academic pursuits. A consistent top performer since elementary school, she thrives on the structure and intellectual stimulation of her studies, using her artistic and literary talents as creative outlets.

He bursts into her world like a ray of sunshine, infusing her disciplined routine with spontaneity and joy.

However, their burgeoning relationship is tested when unspoken expectations and emotional vulnerabilities surface, threatening to unravel the carefully constructed world she has always known. Will she learn that sometimes, words left unsaid can be more damaging than any action, or will her inability to express her true feelings ultimately cost her the bright and lively connection she found?
