   Summary

   At Chaewa Girls University, silence is survival.

   Seulgi arrives at Chaewa with nothing but a scholarship and the knowledge that she is not wanted.

   Assigned to the university archive, Seulgi spends her days cataloguing restricted texts and vanished names. It’s quiet work. Safe, if she stays invisible.

   And Jaeyi appears - brilliant, unreadable, and powerful in the way only legacy can be. The president’s daughter. A girl born into the institution Seulgi is barely surviving.

   A dark academia love story about power, erasure, and what it means to be remembered.
