✨ They wear crowns made of expectations, not gold. ✨
Isabella Santos has been perfect her entire life-or at least, she's tried to be. Student Council President. Dean's Lister. The golden child who carries her family's dreams on her shoulders like a crown too heavy for her head. But perfection is a borrowed thing, and the weight of everyone else's hopes is slowly crushing the girl beneath.
Gabriel Rivera lives in a world of equations and absolutes, where grades are the only language that matters and failure isn't in the vocabulary. He's the boy everyone envies-top of every class, scholarship recipient, destined for greatness. But behind his perfect scores lies a mind that never sleeps and a heart that's forgotten how to feel anything beyond the terror of disappointing everyone.
When a comprehensive exam forces these two academic rivals to collide in the quiet corners of SISU's library, they discover that their crowns of excellence are more fragile than anyone imagined. Sometimes the people who seem to have it all together are the ones falling apart the fastest.
In a world that worships grades and success, can two perfectionists learn that being broken doesn't make them failures? Or will they crumble under the weight of crowns that were never truly theirs to wear?
Because sometimes, the most beautiful thing about a crown is learning to take it off.
A story about academic pressure, family expectations, and finding love in the space between who you are and who everyone wants you to be.

THE UNIVERSITY OF GANGSTERS
There exists a notorious school known only as the University of Gangsters-a place where students with the lowest grades and the most violent tempers are cast away. It is a prison disguised as a campus, where rules are warped and morality is a forgotten word. In these halls, drugs, cigarettes-even murder-are not forbidden. Chaos is law, and power decides who survives. Within its walls, factions rise and fall. Gangs are formed in shadows, alliances sealed with blood, and betrayals whispered behind every corner. And yet, beneath the violence and madness, one strange truth remains-everyone is desperate to escape. For many, studying is not a choice, but a way out of the cage. Among the many thrown into this cursed academy, a group of friends finds themselves bound by fate. One among them-a girl whose heart dares to love the mysterious and feared owner of the school. But their love is forbidden. Eyes watch them. Enemies stir. And secrets-dark, ancient, and dangerous-begin to unravel. Demons masquerade as angels. Enemies wear the faces of friends. Every smile may hide a dagger. Every truth may be a lie. And in the end... Will love conquer the storm, or will hatred and vengeance burn the world down? "Fight or else you will die..."
