In her past life, Harper—an adopted daughter—humbled herself into the dust for love, only to leap from a bridge in despair on the very night her crush, Chase, publicly confessed his feelings to a transfer student. She died alone on the streets. Reborn, Harper decides to tear up the scumbag's script and turns instead to Chase's roommate and sworn rival—Ryder, the ferocious "outcast" of the hockey rink. The scumbag sneers that she'll starve chasing after a penniless loser and sits back waiting for her to crawl back in tears, begging for forgiveness. What they don't know is that the so-called "castaway," rumored to have nothing, is actually the sole heir to the Harrison family—the dynasty that controls the lifeline of the global economy. By the time the Sterling family collapses into bankruptcy and the scumbag, having lost everything, kneels in a torrential downpour begging for a second chance, Ryder has already crowned Harper as New York's most revered—and cold-blooded—queen, lavishing her with a hundred-billion-dollar fortune and unrivaled devotion. Two lifetimes of unspoken love finally culminate in a domineering proposal beneath the spotlight at center ice. This is a revenge romance that brings together campus athletics, chaebol warfare, and unapologetic, all-consuming adoration.
