When their paths cross, an unexpected rivalry begins-fueled by ambition, pride, and secrets. But as challenges grow and lines blur, they find themselves navigating something more complex than competition: a partnership that could change them both. In a world that constantly defines them by where they came from, can they shape who they choose to become?

In the opulent halls of St. Dominic's, an exclusive private boarding school where status is determined by one's gambling prowess, two formidable forces collide.

At St. Dominic's Academy, power is won through gambling and secrets can kill. Yumeko Kawamoto hides a deadly truth: she's the last of the Jabami Clan, once feared across the gambling world. Her parents were murdered in a setup years ago, and now she's back-under a new name, with revenge in her heart. Her target? Kira Timurov. Student Council President. Untouchable heiress. The girl who might hold the key to Yumeko's past... and who awakens something far more dangerous than hate. As high-stakes games and twisted loyalties unfold, Yumeko must decide: destroy Kira... or fall for her. Let the games begin.

Power was always the game. Now, it's personal. At an elite academy where manipulation is sport and secrets are traded like gold, two forces have finally found a kind of fragile peace - a bond formed in fire, obsession, and the thrill of control. What begins as something close to love teeters on the edge of danger. But when perfection arrives cloaked in a flawless smile and a gaze that sees too much, the balance shatters. Betrayal simmers beneath velvet words. Tension coils through once-sacred alliances. And as the masks begin to slip, the line between devotion and destruction blurs. Because at Dominic's, no one is untouched by the game - and nothing stays buried forever. 🪷🪷
