Sofina Isadore Avellana was married to the school's beauty king, Princeford Nikolai Falviero. ‎She loved him in silence, the same way their marriage existed in secret. Like a seed waiting for its time to embrace the heavens, she yearned for a love from her husband whose attention was fixed to another woman. But how much can you suffer for a love to keep it alive? For her, it was like tending to a garden, surviving every season just to make it blossom. ‎ ‎She endured the cold rain and sweltering sun. She stood firm against the tempestuous winds and raging hurricanes. She went through dark, lonely nights, craving for the warmth and touch of daylight. ‎ ‎Yet a flower without care soon withers and die. A marriage without love is bound to break apart. And even the strongest soldier on earth can crumble without a reason to fight. ‎ ‎And when her last petal falls, she finds herself bleeding in tears, broken with his love of thorns.

When Royse's parents died, all the responsibilities for his siblings and their business were left to him. He never had the chance to mourn their deaths because he needed to remain strong. Pain turned him into the coldest person anyone could meet. For so long, he never thought of marriage because he always prioritized the responsibilities he had for his siblings and their business, until his grandfather offered him marriage.

As the two live in the same house and begin to get to know each other, Samara slowly discovers the pain behind Royse's cold personality.
