Moreover, all the businesses Mel has tried to start so far have failed due to her loathsome stepmother's schemes. But now, Mel has only one thing on her mind: opening her own stationery shop! In her first life, Mel was a lonely orphan in Korea. However, adorable pens, unique toys, and sweet snacks unfailingly brought a smile to her face.
