The new secretary has arrived. Fearless. Reckless. Unapologetic. Manipulation is her weapon. Beauty is her disguise. She doesn't save people. She studies them. Mai Tanaka, the sole unica hija of the powerful Tanaka family. A family armored with political influence, prestige, and million-worth sponsorships to elite institutions. Her surname opens doors. Her presence shuts mouths. But Mai? She doesn't rely on power. She becomes it. She has everything. Status, privilege, control-except the attention of one guy who doesn't even know she exists. Annoying. But irrelevant. Mai Tanaka doesn't chase. She waits. And when people finally look her way, it's already too late. At Ryuzaki Academy, she's known as the queen bee: kikay, pasaway, dangerously confident. What they don't know? She's one of the highest IQ holders in the entire school-and she hides it like a loaded weapon. Her mind caught the attention of Professor Nathan Dantes, head of the elite Star Section. He personally scouted her, placing her inside the academy's most untouchable section: the Star Section. Inside, SSC exists, an organization that operates above the Student Government, tasked with protecting Ryuzaki's pristine reputation by any means necessary. During her first year, Mai didn't just survive. She created chaos. Every weakness. Every ego. Every lie. So Toru-the cold, controlled, genius president-made a decision that would haunt the council in their second year. He didn't remove her. He pulled her closer. He appointed her as his secretary. Now, the composed president and the smiling disaster beside him must work with the council to uncover secrets, bury scandals, and rewrite truths-all in the name of protecting Ryuzaki Academy. But what is the real danger? The mysteries or Mai herself? Because the question was never whether she could rise to the challenge- It's whether the council will survive her or not.
