The throne is made of glass. The EMPEROR is a lie. And the Heart? It's a battlefield. Sa bawat pagtitig ni Melay Del Lerio sa salamin, isa lang ang nakikita niya. Perfection. She is the self-proclaimed Emperor nang pinaka gwapo sa buong mundo-isang obra maestra perfection nang hitsura at yaman. She doesn't just want to be noticed, she demands to be worshiped. Para sa kanya, ang kaguwapuhan ay isang kapangyarihang siya lang ang may karapatang magtaglay. But then came Andres. A scholar with a heavy silence and a gaze that cuts deeper than any insult. He is respectful, grounded, and utterly indifferent to the "Del Lerio" name. Sa mundong sanay na yumuyukod sa kanya, si Andres ang tanging pader na hindi niya matibag. He doesn't see a King or a EMPEROR . He only sees a nuisance. "Aksaya sa oras. Unano." Ang isang salitang iyon ang naging mitsa ng isang digmaan. In a desperate move to reclaim her pride, Melay will turn into a shadow. She will provoke. She will insult. She will compete. If Andres heart is looking elsewhere, Melay will make sure she burns that world to the ground-not because of love, but because a Emperor refuses to be ignored. And how far will Melay go to win a game she never should have played? In the clash between a Emperor's mind and a poor man's pride, the first one to feel the "tibok".....is the first one to bleed.
