A Composer Who Has No Warm Place

[Slow-Burn] A freelance composer who despises men and avoids them whenever possible discovered a beautiful, inexpensive countryside village in Japan. She moved there in November and began hurriedly reinforcing the old house for the coming December snowstorms—too late, unlike the elderly villagers who had prepared since October. When winter hit, icy winds slipped through the walls, violent gusts cut the electricity, her food spoiled, and the heating failed. Left with no choice, she temporarily took shelter with the elderly residents, who then called the village head, a man.
