Crack the Case, Before it fades....
※※※
Her memory resets. His curiosity doesn't
At Padolina University, where deadline kill faster than heartbreak, two students stand out-not for fame, but for something far more dangerous.......
Brains
Irish Crystal Gray is a Math major with photographic memory....that lasts exactly one hour. Bubbly, sharped-tongued, and slightly chaotic, Irish lives life like a ticking clock.
Then he meets Yuan Hayes, a quiet Biology student and a campus detective by choice. That is known for cracking the unsolvable-from stolen exam keys to anonymous tip-offs. Logic is his language and trust is hard earned
To solve a case, he needs her brain...
To survive the case, she'll need his timing...
And they only have sixty minutes to get it right....before it all disappears.
Together, they form an unlikely team with one shared goal:
Crack the case before the hourglass runs out...
Because in this school, some answers don't wait...
And some minds...don't remember.

When Justice Meets Desire
"Two academic rivals must unravel a corruption case while battling the undeniable chemistry between them." Ava, the confident and stunning blonde law student, is known for her intelligence and charisma that makes her a standout in the faculty. She's always been at the top of her class, excelling in academic competitions and being a social force. But there's one person who competes with her at every turn-Logan, a brooding and intense law student with exceptional skills and a sharp mind. The two are constant academic rivals, constantly competing for the top spot, and their rivalry has made them dislike each other from the start. However, when a high-profile corruption case surfaces, both Ava and Logan are forced to team up in order to solve it. The case involves uncovering corruption within the legal field, requiring them to dig into sensitive areas and connect various pieces of evidence. This new challenge pushes them to work closely together, forcing them to confront not only the case but also their own personal histories and secrets. Logan, who has been burned by betrayal in the past, keeps his walls high and remains distant from others, especially Ava, who he sees as someone who plays the social game too well. On the other hand, Ava struggles to see Logan as more than just a grumpy, distant competitor who keeps everyone at arm's length. But as they collaborate on the case, Ava begins to uncover Logan's hidden vulnerabilities, and Logan starts to see the real, sincere side of Ava that isn't just about winning or looking good. As the case intensifies, they must decide whether to stay true to their personal beliefs and fight for justice or let their growing feelings for each other undermine everything they've worked for. Their rivalry shifts into something far more complicated-an undeniable attraction that neither of them can easily ignore.Complete
