Aria Avery Gozon has big dreams despite coming from a lower-class family. Driven by the desire to lift her family out of poverty, she works hard to excel in her studies. 

Her dedication pays off when she becomes the top student in her class and is chosen as a scholar at the prestigious Spring Hill University, an elite institution where only the wealthy and influential families can afford to study. For Aria, this opportunity feels like a gift from the heavens.

On her first day at the university, Aria is filled with excitement and joy, knowing her dreams are within reach. However, her hopes are quickly dashed when she encounters **Cairo Hayes**, the arrogant leader of the “Four Princes” — a group of the wealthiest and most handsome students at the university. 

Despite his stunning looks, Cairo has a devilish personality and delights in bullying other students. From the moment they meet, he begins to make Aria’s life miserable. 

What she thought would be the beginning of a bright future turns into a living nightmare as Cairo's torment turns her university experience into a personal hell.

Will Cairo Hayes destroy Aria’s dreams, or could this unexpected twist lead to something new?

Fall In Love With The Campus Badboy

Just like I promised myself before—that I would join the art club—I did it. I auditioned again, and finally, I got in. I'm officially a member of the art club now.

"Congrats, Aria, and welcome to the art club," Denzel said. I smiled at him.

"I'll go ahead. I still have other classes," I said to Denzel as I excused myself.

Then I started walking toward the classroom. While I was walking, the speakers around the university suddenly turned on. Then, on the big screen monitor, I saw… Cairo? Why is he on the TV screen?

I stopped and stared, just like everyone else around me. All the students halted in their tracks and looked at the screen.

"Everyone, listen up! Starting today, I don't want anyone hurting Aria. Anyone who tries will have to deal with me," he said seriously on the screen.
