There's a girl who didn't want their love. She wanted their power. Thea's father was beaten to death over a land dispute with a powerful man in the capital. She vows to get into the capital's top university—not to be the elites' plaything, but to become their master. In high school, she won over the school bully as her protector, then handed him off to someone else. In university, she sets her sights on three targets: the softhearted heir of a business empire, the dangerous heir of a syndicate, and the all-powerful secretary-general of the Capital Merchants' Guild. She belongs to no one. One by one, they'll kneel. They rule the city. She rules them.
