The thing with Valentine's Day is, either you hate it or you love it. And Zade Pascual definitely belongs to the first category. Para sa kanya, isang araw lang ito ng commercialized version ng pag-ibig. Walang kakilig-kilig at napakalayo sa true love stories na nababasa niya sa mga libro. Nasubok ang kanyang anti-Valentine's sentiment when she unexpectedly meets Andreau Cortez-an award-winning actor and film student at her university-in the cafe where she works-- on Valentine's Day of all days. Andreau, their new cafe regular, surprises Zade by asking for her help with his latest short film project, which she hesitantly agrees to. Despite a rocky start, Zade discovers the real Andreau Cortez beyond the camera and celebrity gossip. Over the fika-not date hangouts and late-night conversations, their effortless friendship blurs into something more, to the point na akala ng lahat (yes, friends and family included) na sila na ni Andreau. Caught off guard by her evolving feelings, Zade must confront her own heart. Hanggang best friend nga lang ba ang tingin niya kay Andreau? Can their story unfold like the happy endings she loves in books? Well, sometimes, the best love stories take time to tell.

Traumatizing indeed, she has learned to disremember her past as a defense mechanism against the pain that had been lingering in her heart. Moreover, that wasn't the case. It's the beauty that Mcroon dominates. Reaching the age of majority, she thought that people would love you as long as you are beautiful, regardless of how poor or incapable you are. But no, unless you do them a favor. For the past 21 years, she has finally mastered the art of beauty. Mcroon understood that the humanity of humans had long been gone. Just existing will be enough to make someone hate and envy you to the deepest roots of their hearts. She's one of the living proofs of "beautiful but persecuted." Nevertheless, not only one but three pretentious gentlemen will confuse her emotion. This isn't just about the war between femme Fatales, but between men and women, family, and especially love. A lie is always true when you believe what you want to believe. Can Mcroon bear to know the truth? Or will she keep denying the reality? Aphrodite, a being born from the sea, is a goddess associated with love, pleasure, and beauty. Disclaimer: THIS IS A PURE IMAGINATION. THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION.
