Avery Carter tried her hardest to live the life of a perfect, submissive daughter. However, one day, someone appeared claiming to be her real daughter, declaring that Avery was fake.  

Without hesitation, Avery gave up her position as the "real" daughter and returned to her biological parents. Many expected her to fall from grace after leaving her wealthy adoptive family, but she surprised everyone by lifting her biological family out of poverty.  

She transformed her mother and father’s lives, making them billionaires overnight. With a hundred billion dollars to her name, she became a master of technology and a talented woman, soaring straight to the peak of her life.  

But everything changed when she met Alexander Moran, a wealthy and handsome man. He was an absolute bigwig—decisive, cold, and callous. Yet, for some reason, he couldn’t stop tangling with her, always eager to give her all his love.  

On their first encounter, he said, "I'll give myself up as collateral." 
The second time they met, she questioned, "Why should I trust you?"
After multiple encounters, his tone shifted. "You shouldn't have crossed this line, Avery, if you didn't want it to be like this." a sturdy arm wrapped around her swaying body. Her head grew hazy, and an intentional, hot sigh escaped her lips. 'How the hell did I get myself into this situation?' Avery thought, her mind spinning.

Saturday marked the start of the holidays. Rosemont University's Independence Day and New Students' Welcome Party would begin at 7 pm. Under normal circumstances, most students would go home or travel during the vacation, and not many would attend the gala. However, after learning that Joy and Avery were going to perform on the same stage, the entire school was in an uproar. Moreover, both would be playing the piano. Everyone wanted to know who would come out on top in the first confrontation between the two school belles. As a result, the auditorium, which could accommodate more than 2,000 people, was filled to capacity. Even the aisles upstairs and downstairs were packed with people eager to witness the match between the two campus stars.
