Kyeongsoo High is the top elite school in the whole of South Korea, top three in Asia. A school where the popular ones are privileged while those who got in through scholarships, not so much.

The academy name was derived from the words "Kyeong" which means honour and "Soo" which means excellence and perfection, thus representing the characteristics of the school earned from claiming victory and honour from various contests inside and outside the school.

It has those typical stereotype groups you see in movies; the jocks, the cheerleaders, the model students, the invisible ones, the nerds, the artists and way more.

And if you think that the jocks and cheerleaders are on the top of the school's food chan, well you might as well think again.

The Royals.

The group that always stays on top. Money, fame, visuals they have it all. They want it? They get it.

What the students there always keep in mind is: Never make yourself a target for The Royals if you don't want to experience hell too early.

But unlike those students who doesen't give a damn about their studies and waste their precious time on gossips and happenings inside the school, a girl named Pranpriya Manoban- the only heiress left of the Manobans after her cousin Kunpimook Bhuwakul ran away- doesn't get herself involved in those things that much.

It has been two years and their family name is slowly laying low. Up until this day, her cousin is still not found, and unfortunately other families grabbed this opportunity to overpass the most powerful family in Thailand. As Pranpriya was the only available heir left, a lot of death threats were directed to the girl, causing her to experience the car accident that caused her to be stuck in the place where she is now.

From Thailand, she flew to Korea to get treated there and keep her identity safe. When the time is right, she will claim her righteous title.

"Priya, you're awake." She heard a familiar and relieved voice say after she managed to lift her heavy eyelids up.

Ten months, a lot has happened in ten months.

Even though she was unconscious she can still keep herself updated with what has been happening. She could hear voices, and she can recognize that this man's voice was the voice that she has been constantly hearing for the past months.

Since the first time she heard the voice nine months ago, she couldn't help but sense some familiarity, she has a certain name in mind but she couldn't confirm it as her eyes won't obey her.

Now that her eyes finally opened, she looked around and all she could see was white. Was she in heaven? What her family said was true? Her cousin is dead and maybe now she is too that's why she can recognize the voice.

Her assumptions were all destroyed when her vision became clearer, she could make out white walls, a TV, comfortable looking couches on the side, a hospital bed which she was currently occupying and her long lost cousin.

Wait.

She then bolted up from the hospital bed and immediately looked at the guy sitting beside her with her eyes as wide as saucers.
