Winter didn't plan on standing out at Sangwon Academy. After being forced to transfer because of a secret she'd rather bury, she just wants to keep her head down, reconnect with her childhood bestie Ningning, and maybe make it through the semester without drama. But drama finds her anyway-in the form of Yu Jimin, better known as Karina. Rich, flawless, terrifyingly popular, and infuriatingly smug, Karina has ruled the school since day one. She pushes people's buttons for sport, and Winter? She refuses to be anyone's plaything. The whole campus watches as the Ice Queen and the new girl turn every hallway into a battlefield. Yet beneath the rivalry is a heat neither of them can control, and the question everyone is asking: will they tear each other apart... or finally give in?

When two powerful families merge their empires, marriage is the price of stability. Winter accepts without hesitation. Karina does not. To Karina, the marriage is a cage - a decision made without her consent. And Winter, calm and obedient, becomes the face of everything she lost. But what Karina doesn't know? Winter has loved her for years. And she would rather endure her cold personality than lose the chance to stand beside her.
