Nakakabagot ang buhay. Lalo na pag papasok ka nang school, kakain, humiga sa pera, maligo sa puri, mamili ng babae, at matulog. Paulit-ulit lahat araw-araw. Lahat nalaro mo na, poker hanggang pag-ibig naipanalo mo na. Kung sana may pwedeng paglaruan. Yung unique. Yung nakakatuwa. Nang dumating siya sa buhay ko, natuwa ako kasi pinaglaruan ko siya. Humingi siya ng pabor. Binigay ko. Nagpaturo siya. Tinuruan ko. Humingi siya ng masasandalan. Binigay ko. Kasi nakakatuwa siya! Pero habang tumatagal, bakit siya na yung natutuwa at ako na pinaglalaruan? Hate. Lies. Temptations. Betrayal. Pain. Love. All in one. Training To Love.

Ang pag-ibig ay parang nagsusugal. Pag sigurado kang mahal mo ang tao, ibibigay mo ang lahat. Ang problema dito ay di mo alam kung may maibabalik paba sayo o wala. Maswerte ang nakakakuha ng higit pa sa inaasahan, pero luhaan ang mga sumugal at natalo. Pero ganun paman, tulad ng sugal, kahit walang kasiguraduhan, marami paring umiibig, marami paring sumusugal. Dahil... Baka Sakali... Baka Sakali...

Princess Nicole "Nick" Madrigal wants nothing more than to regain the independence that she lost noong nalaman niyang siya ang long-lost heiress ng isa sa mga pinakamayamang negosyante sa bansa. Simua noong natagpuan siya ng tunay niyang pamilya, puro gulo na lang ang nangyayari sa dating tahimik at simpleng buhay ni Nick. Isa na sa mga gulong 'yon ang deal niya with the heir of a competing company, Dominic Salazar, who is trying to avoid dating anyone his family sets him up with. That deal forced Nick to be Dominic's "pretend girlfriend" bilang kabayaran sa pag-rescue sa kanya ni Dominic from a dangerous situation that could've cause her to lose everything she values. Will her deal with Dominic lead to something more? Or will Nick choose to turn her back on the world that made her sacrifice her independence -- and, ultimately, the love of her life?

Top one, perfectionist, ballerina, impulsive, at amazona. Yan si Alzeah Marie Constantino! Naniniwala siyang siya ay maganda, magaling, matalino, pero h'wag kayo dahil hindi rin siya nagpapatalo. She cursed a lot, she didn't have friends aside from her lazy, lazy, lazy childhood frenemy and neighbor, Tyrone James Dela Cruz. Mabait lang si Zeah kay Tyrone, pero si Tyrone, sa kanya lang masungit. One time, they both saw Tyrone's first love and his friend making out and Zeah got really mad. She wanted to get revenge for Tyrone by being his tutor and life coach. Would Tyrone fall for Zeah or was it the other way around considering the fact that Zeah never thought of having a love life since she wanted to prioritize his studies and career first? "Once upon a time, there was no happily ever after and happy ending. Once upon a time, there was no once upon a time for life is not a fairy tale."
