The heroines are quite similar. Both are rendered homeless due to an unfortunate event and subsequently end up working as a live-in maid at the hero's house. They're independent and strive to not be a burden to others, even if they desperately need help. The heroine feels lonely without a family and the hero recognizes that loneliness and, despite initially being a cold person, yearns to fill her loneliness just as she warms his heart. Both stories are about how the MCs gradually become a family, change each other's lives, and fall in love with each other while living together.
