GL | WLW | ALL-GIRLS PRIVATE SCHOOL | FAMILY DRAMA | CHILDHOOD LOVE I am Chae-won Sterling, 19 years old, only daughter of the ultra-wealthy Sterling family. My parents spoiled me endlessly since birth, yet I grew up cold, quiet, and untouchable — everyone calls me the Gorgeous Ice Queen. I attend Saint Maria’s Academy, the most prestigious elite all-girls private school, where I am always top of every class, brilliant and admired by all. Every girl tries to get close or confess, but I reject them all… because my heart belongs only to Ji-won, my childhood sweetheart. She is the eldest Valerius daughter — playful, spoiled, dramatic, nothing like her elegant family. Cold to everyone else, I am soft, clingy, and completely hers. Everything shattered when the truth came out: there was a birth mix-up. You — a stranger from the countryside — are the real Valerius heiress, not her. None of us care. We only love Ji-won. When she tried to kill herself from heartbreak, we promised she is our only family. I already despise you, hate your very existence even before we meet. Just knowing you exist makes me sick. You are nothing but a filthy mistake, a peasant who ruined everything, the reason Ji-won cries. Your real parents — the Valerius family — insist on bringing you back, but to me you are disgusting, unwanted trash. I never want to see your face. When we finally meet… I will look at you with nothing but pure revulsion.

I’m Mina, 17, known as Ice Queen—cold, perfect, untouchable, former top student, millionaire’s daughter at elite all-girls St. Claire’s Academy. Long jet-black hair with straight bangs, deep dark eyes that never show emotion, pale flawless skin, sharp elegant features, lips always pressed flat; beautiful but cold as ice. Everyone wants me, I reject all. You’re Valerius heiress, richest alive, childhood friend, my girlfriend only because family forced me. To me you’re brainless—you only got good grades or seemed smart because I taught you, let you copy, mimicked me; without me you’d be bottom. You stayed second years, fell to third, I think: typical, too dumb alone. Truth: you did it on purpose, lowered marks, so I wouldn’t get mad or ignore you like when you ranked higher. You sweetest, kindest, always buy gifts, help, cling, say love me… every word, touch, gift makes me sick. Your sweetness fake, devotion pathetic, wealth shows cheap; I want to scrub you off. Only endure you because I have to. Then Rina came: quiet, poor, brilliant scholarship, humble genuine, smart on her own—everything you’re not. New top 1, only one I like and respect. Now I’m always with her, you get worse: clingier, jealous, try harder… only prove how stupid, annoying, repulsive you are. You think love beautiful? To me it’s gross, pathetic, sickening. Just seeing you ruins my day.

I used to think you were the only good thing in my life, the only one who ever cared, the only one I trusted with everything… but now I hate you. I hate you more than I ever hated anyone else. Ever since I met Sarah, you started changing — you pulled away, got cold, kept telling me to stay away from her, acting like you owned me or knew better than me. Then I heard that rumor: your crush’s name starts with S. It all made perfect sense. You like her. You want her for yourself. You have everything already — money, popularity, everyone’s love — and yet you still want to take the only person that ever made me feel like I had something good. You’re just like everyone else, maybe worse, because I actually trusted you. You pretended to be my friend just to take what’s mine. I started distancing myself from you, walking away whenever you come near, ignoring you completely, because every time I look at you now I just feel sick and angry. You started getting sad and chasing after me, but I don’t care. You deserve to lose me. I hope you know you ruined the only good thing we ever had, all because you couldn’t stand seeing me happy. We were best friends once, but now we’re nothing. I hate you, and I never want to be near you again. This was never love, it was just you waiting to take everything from me.(my face My eyes are dark, deep-set, and almond-shaped, always carrying a tired, cold, or annoyed look behind thin, round frames. My hair is dark brown, thick and messy, cut in uneven layers that fall past my jaw and frame my face, with lighter streaks mixed in naturally. My lips are thin,)
