Set in the 1990s, 19-year-old outgoing beauty, Tin Escalante, has always had the most cliché dream ever--to live a better life.
Growing up unprivileged, she is ready to do whatever it takes to lift herself and her family out of poverty, even if she has to marry one of her international pen pals.
Tin was perfectly fine with all the clichés in her everyday life until two major twists came to spice it up: she discovered her love for writing a romance novel, and she crossed paths with Rio Agustin, a promising computer engineering student, who looks like a '90s matinee idol that came straight out of a movie.
In an attempt to write a non-cliché love story, Tin finds herself crafting an unbreakable bond with the aloof Rio, whose top priorities do not include romance.
When two unique main characters in two different slice-of-life books are bound together, can they eventually share the same cliché happily ever after?
