Lucian Blackwood is the coldest person in the entire university—brilliant, untouchable, and emotionally dead inside. With top scores, a billionaire legacy, and zero tolerance for nonsense, he walks through life with a glare sharp enough to kill.And Evelyn Hart? She’s everything he claims to hate—outspoken, sarcastic, and just chaotic enough to get under his skin. A good student, sure... but a proud backbencher who lives for caffeine and comebacks.They can’t stand each other.She rolls her eyes every time he speaks.He doesn’t even acknowledge her existence if he can help it.But fate? Oh, fate has a wicked sense of humor.Evelyn’s world falls apart when she learns her boyfriend never loved her. He used her, cheated on her, and manipulated her feelings until she had nothing left to give. Heartbroken and tired of chasing love, she makes a promise—to marry the man her parents choose for her. Someone safe. Someone stable. Someone who isn't capable of breaking her heart like this again.But life had one condition.That "someone" turns out to be Lucian Blackwood.Yes, him.The boy who never smiles.The one who treats emotions like weakness.The same person she swore she’d never be alone in a room with—let alone married to.Now, bound by family pressure and sealed with a contract, they’re stuck in a marriage neither of them asked for. What started as hate turns into tension. What was supposed to be revenge turns into obsession. And slowly, painfully, dangerously...The coldest boy in the class starts burning only for her.
