In Advanced Nurturing High School, success isn't just about intelligence-it's about strategy.

As their paths intertwine, what starts as a battle of wits evolves into something far more dangerous: a game of hearts. When Ayanokoji finds himself caring more than he ever intended, his icy façade begins to crack. But can someone like him-conditioned by the brutal White Room-truly feel love?

Through strategic alliances, cutthroat competition, and high-stakes exams, Ayanokoji and Sakayanagi navigate the treacherous waters of high school politics, all while getting closer in ways neither expected. In a school designed to break you, will love be the ultimate test of survival?
