The Love Archer’s Thirteenth Arrow

At the beginning of the story, a young woman named “Nan” (Thet Mon Myint) runs away from home due to various circumstances. While escaping from her parents, who are searching for her, she hurriedly hides inside a house. However, because of unexpected events, she becomes trapped inside and is unable to leave. To avoid being discovered, Nan secretly hides in the house without the knowledge of the owner, “Kyaw Nay” (Min Maw Kun). As time passes, Kyaw Nay eventually notices her presence and finds out that she is hiding there. Fearing that she will be caught and forced to leave, Nan pretends to have a mental illness in order to deceive the situation and continue staying in the house. Believing that Nan is suffering from a mental disorder, Kyaw Nay feels sympathy for her and begins taking care of her. As they live together under the same roof, an unexpected bond slowly develops between them, and pure feelings of affection begin to grow in their hearts.
