Meet Vana, isang babaeng naniniwala sa forever. The girl who believed that everybody lives their own fairytale. A girl who had the perfect life, had went to the most prestigious schools, had great parents, and an only child. She greatly believed that true love never dies. As her story unfolds, mananatili ba ang mga paniniwalang matagal niyang inalagaan? Or will she end up broken and beat up with the truth that life is not what it seems.? She isn't that perfect after all...
As she finishes her tough but steady college life, she gets an encounter of what life really is. Her parents leave her, as well as their life, and ends up abandoning Vana. As she struggles to figure out how it is to be alone, to be imperfect, she comes across a man. Isang lalaking manggigising sakanya sa katotohanan ng buhay, isang lalaking papahirapan siya, isang lalaking iibigin niya.
His name is Jax. A complete delinquent who does nothing else but fails classes, smoke, drink, and be the assh*le he is. Naniniwala siyang we would all go to hell anyway, so why do boring stuff? A heartless jerk that has his own secrets and issues hidden beneath that strong facade he gives people. Hindi alam ng karamihan na his heart is weeping and waiting to be saved, heck, he didn't even know it himself!! Until he meets her.
The story of two people who are equally the exact opposite of one another becomes a wild goose chase to finding how to mend a malfunctioning heart.
Ella is falling apart trying to live a "perfect" high school life. Then she meets Ren, who can see past her scars. Suddenly perfection isn't her only option.
