At Hanwol Academy in Seoul, where power and appearances dictate status, Jang Wonyoung and Park Sunghoon are the school's reigning forces-she's the flawless queen, admired and envied in equal measure, and he's the brooding prince, skating on the edge of rebellion. Their rivalry is legendary, their banter sharp, and their emotions tightly guarded.
But when an academic partnership forces them into each other's worlds, their facades begin to crumble. What starts as a battle of wills transforms into a connection neither can deny- vulnerable, raw, and filled with the weight of their ambitions, fears, and passions. Caught in a web of love and expectations, Wonyoung and Sunghoon must confront their own insecurities to build something lasting in a world that could shatter them both.
