Since then, she had sworn never to reject any boys albeit she harbours no affection towards them. Being the most famous girl in college, boys yearn for her and all she could say to them is a blatant "Yes" even though she is well aware of the fact that she will never be able to reciprocate their feelings. However, she believes it's better for their love to die off than to have it rejected. Under the pretense of kindness lies a girl full of hatred and vengeance.

After landing himself in a new school, he was almost certain that he could have a new start in life, only to be plagued by the fact that his former victim was attending the same school as him. As soon as his eyes set on her, he knew he wanted to hurt her all over again just like old times. With his plans of turning over a new leaf set aside, the only focus on his mind was to ruin her and to make her life a living Hell.
