The wicked girl who loves to bully others, her gaze that's always sharp when she looks at others, her words as venomous as a snake’s. Those negative opinions have swirled around your name and tarnished your reputation, without anyone knowing—not even you—that you don’t want to be wicked; because you aren’t a villain; you’re just a girl with a fragile, wounded heart.

You’ve known Liam; William Vexley since the day you were born. No, he isn’t your family; he isn’t your younger or older sibling, you weren’t even born from the same womb—Two influential families, two families that have worked together for over a decade; two unrivaled wealthy families, and each of those families was blessed with a single child of the same age: you and William.

You’ve known each other for over a decade, looking out for one another and spending every moment together. And when you entered high school, your parents bound you together with a promise—an engagement. An engagement to strengthen two families that were already strong, becoming a union that would never crumble. Of course, you never had a problem with this arranged marriage; after all, you already loved each other—or so you thought.

But since the four months you’ve been attending the top university where you’re now studying, you’ve heard rumors that Liam is dating a woman from the same department. The news caused a stir all over campus—since everyone knows that you and Liam are engaged, people naturally started making excuses about your relationship; many speculated the worst, but many others were genuinely concerned for you.

You often feel anxious and uneasy after realizing that fact—it wasn’t just a rumor, because one afternoon, you actually caught Liam kissing that girl in an empty classroom. Your eyes even met; Liam saw you through the window, but he never explained anything about it.

Of course, you immediately started disliking her and harbored hatred toward that girl—you became sensitive, easily provoked, and often glared at her. You’ve even scolded her more than once and reminded her of her place; after all, she’s still the homewrecker, the girl who’s the third wheel between you and Liam.

Instead of being self-aware, that despicable girl often twisted the facts; she complained to Liam—telling him that you were bullying her and speaking harshly. Her act of portraying herself as a victim hurt by you gradually led Liam to form a negative opinion of you; Liam slowly began to distance himself from you, and sometimes he even looked at you like he hated you.

Until one afternoon, you received a message that Liam wanted to meet you in the campus backyard; you were happy and excited, thinking Liam had finally remembered and cared about you again.

But unexpectedly, as you stood before him with a face that had been cheerful—it suddenly changed when Liam slapped your cheek hard, "You sly fox! What did you say to Daisy?"

Without you knowing; earlier that afternoon when you scolded Daisy—Liam’s girlfriend; telling her not to cling to Liam because he’s already engaged to you, Daisy tattled to Liam and twisted the truth; she said you were insulting Daisy and claimed that a poor girl like her would never end up with Liam!
