Ang pagmamahal ay hindi dapat humihingi ng kapalit. Hindi ito pumipili. Hindi ito naniningil ng kabayaran. Hindi rin ito nagkakaroon ng kondisyon. Maria Elachia Alberni believes that love is meant to be accepting, forgiving, and ever understanding. It rises above the flaws, stretches beyond the superficiality like beauty and wealth. Kaya naman noong nakatagpo niya ang binatang si Gervasion, anak ng isa sa pinakamaimpluwensiyang pamilya sa bayan ng La Castellana, ay lubos siyang naguluhan sa disposisyon nito pagdating sa pag-ibig. Nais ng binata na baguhin ang sarili. Nais niyang iwan ang marangyang buhay dahil lamang ayaw ng minamahal nitong si Eleanor sa mga mayayaman. After faking his death, running away from his family, and paying Elachia to teach him the commoner's way of living- the two found themselves entangled in a cozy, cohabitation set up amidst the sunny mulberry farm of Morusalba town. Kaya nga ba nilang isagawa at pagtagumpayan ang plano nang hindi nahuhulog sa isa't isa?

"Trained to win arguments. Destined to lose us." In the elite, high-pressure world of San Sebastian College, kilala ng lahat ang Apex: the university's most powerful, brilliant, richest, and untouchable circle of five. And at the absolute top of that food chain sits Kierzen Vance. Cold, calculated, and fiercely arrogant. He's the multi-awarded debater na kayang magpabagsak ng kahit sino gamit lang ang boses at talino niya. He never loses. Never. Until Avery "Vera" Soler walked in. Vera, isang self-made scholar na nabubuhay sa purong diskarte, puyat, at iced matcha. Hindi siya takot sa yaman ni Kier, at lalong hindi siya nadadala sa nakakatunaw na titig nito. For three years, they have traded the number one rank. Kulang na lang mag-giyera ang buong lecture hall tuwing nagkakaharap silang dalawa. They are oil and water. Fire and ice. The ultimate academic rivals. But when a prestigious international scholarship forces them into a brutal, final competition where only one can win, the boundaries of their rivalry begin to blur, isa lang ang pwedeng manalo. Behind closed library doors and late-night study sessions, unti-unting nag-iiba ang ihip ng hangin. Something intense, terrifying, and undeniably real. Mga bagay na sila lamang ang nakakaalam. Kierzen Vance knows how to tear any argument apart. Expert siya sa paggiba ng kalaban. Pero sa unang pagkakataon sa buhay niya, mukhang matatalo siya sa sarili niyang laro. Dahil paano mo lalabanan ang kaisa-isang tao na kapag natalo mo... ay siyang tuluyang wawasak sa 'yo?
