Yurie had never been one to follow the rules. Where most saw order, she saw a cage, a place to break free. She could've been the model student, the one everyone admired, the one who earned perfect grades and smiled sweetly at every teacher. But that wasn't her. No, she was far more dangerous than that. She was the one who made waves, the one who pushed boundaries just to see how far they would bend before snapping.
It wasn't random, though. Every act of rebellion, every suspension, every expulsion—it was all part of a carefully planned strategy. Yurie had a goal, and she'd been working toward it for years: this school, the prestigious academy where society's elite sent their perfect children to become even more perfect. The school where power flowed like blood through veins, the kind of place that reeked of control. But there was one thing that made it different from the rest: its student council president, Lannie Raven.
Lannie was a star, an untouchable idol, adored by the entire school. She embodied everything Yurie hated: perfection, order, authority. She was the face of the school's ideal—a carefully curated image of a perfect, virtuous leader. And for a long time, Yurie's mission had been clear: bring her down. Take her out. Destroy the symbol of control she represented, expose the lies, the masks everyone wore.
It wasn't personal at first. She didn't care about her as a person, only as the figurehead who stood in her way. But when she arrived at the school, her carefully planned chaos didn't go as expected.
Because Lannie wasn't like she thought she would be.
The first time their eyes met, it wasn't the cold, disinterested gaze she'd been expecting. Instead, it was a kind of warmth that caught her off guard. She looked at her not with suspicion or disdain, but with curiosity, something deeper than just a school leader sizing up a troublemaker. Something... softer. And that softness? It unsettled her.
Yurie had never expected to fall for her. She wasn't supposed to—especially not when there was so much at stake. She had a job to do. She had a reason to be there. But the more she watched her, the more she saw beyond the image of the perfect student council president. She saw the quiet struggle behind her eyes, the way she carried the weight of her position alone, the way she fought for something that wasn't as simple as the rules she upheld.
She wasn't supposed to care.
And yet, against her better judgment, she did.
The real trouble began when Lannie started to feel something for her, too.
The student council wasn't exactly thrilled by her presence. They had no love for her, and that was putting it lightly. The other six members were ruthless in their own ways, each one a pillar of the school's perfect image, fiercely loyal to Lannie and her vision. They saw Yurie as nothing but a threat, someone to be eliminated, erased from their perfect world before she could disrupt their balance.
But it was Lannie's sister, Rei raven, who hated her most. As vice president, she was everything her sister was not—cold, calculating, sharp as a knife. And she could see right through Yurie. The truth about Yurie's intentions was no secret to Rei. She knew exactly what Yurie was after, and she would stop at nothing to protect her sister. Her hatred for Yurie ran deep—she wasn't just a rival, she was a danger.
But then came the twist no one saw coming. Lannie, the golden girl of the school, fell in love with her.
It wasn't supposed to happen. Yurie wasn't supposed to be anything but a pawn in her game, a player to be dealt with and discarded. But Lannie's feelings for her only grew stronger with time, and that terrified Yurie more than anything else.
Because while she had planned to destroy her, she hadn't accounted for this feeling. She hadn't accounted for the way her heart raced when she smiled at her, the way the world seemed to tilt when she touched her hand. She hadn't planned for her to love her—the messy, broken version of herself she kept hidden under layers of indifference.
And yet, she did.
Lannie's love for her wasn't simple, and neither was hers for Lannie. It wasn't just the two of them caught in this twisted dance of emotions—there was a whole council of enemies standing in their way, watching, waiting for her to slip up. Yurie had made herself a target. She had underestimated how far people would go to protect Lannie and their perfect world. And Lannie? She wasn't immune either. Her feelings for Yurie threatened everything she had worked for, everything she believed in.
But the real twist was in the way Yurie had begun to feel for her, too.
She was supposed to be the villain. She was supposed to tear Lannie down. She was supposed to be heartless. But somewhere along the way, she had stopped seeing Lannie as a symbol to destroy and started seeing her as someone she couldn't let go of. As someone who had cracked the shell of her carefully constructed indifference and found something real beneath it.
Yurie had always lived in the margins—an outsider. But now, she was forced to ask herself: Was she willing to fight for the first person who had ever shown her kindness? Was she willing to love Lannie Raven, even if it meant risking everything?
The council wouldn't stand for it. Rei, Lannie's sister, would never forgive her. But love is a strange thing. It doesn't follow the rules. And neither did Yurie.
So, she was faced with a choice: kill the girl she'd come to care for—or fight for a future she never thought was possible.
The game had changed. And now, the stakes were higher than ever.
