My deskmate, Sierra Langford, handed me a throat lozenge. I turned around and melted it into the school cafeteria’s "Top Scholar Soup", letting all four thousand students share a taste. Because this time, I’ve been reborn. In my previous life, Sierra had a system that could steal other people’s exam scores. As long as I ate something from her, my grades would automatically transfer to her. She was a rich girl, already set to study abroad. Stealing my college entrance exam score was just a joke to her. On the other hand, I was poor. The exam was my only chance to change my fate. After three mock exams, my scores kept dropping for no reason, and no matter how hard I searched, I couldn’t find out why. In the end, I failed the college entrance exam. Lost and broken, I was hit by a car. After I died, my soul hovered in the air and overheard Sierra laughing with her best friend, Hailey Monroe. "Who would’ve thought Vera Collins could’ve ranked first in the entire city? Well, that title’s mine now! Someone like her deserves to rot in the mud forever." This time, I’m back. So, she liked stealing people’s scores for fun? Then stealing just mine would be too boring. This time, the entire school’s exam scores would be a surprise for her.

His hand was still warm on the small of my back when I found the lanyard in his jacket pocket. Bad idea. ..The best mistake of my life..and I didn’t even know his name. The lights were dim. Two drinks in, his mouth was on my neck, teeth grazing my skin as his hands explored under my dress . He pressed me against the wall and touched me until I trembled, whispering how ready I was for him. I went home with a stranger that night because I was tired of being the perfect student with the flawless GPA. I wanted to feel alive. I wanted to be ruined. Monday morning, that same stranger stepped into my lecture hall and called my name like he hadn’t spent the weekend deep inside me. Professor Daniel Calder. My only elective..the one class standing between me and the future I’ve spent years building. I can’t drop it. I can’t escape him. And every time he leans over my desk to mark my work, I remember exactly how those hands felt on my body. He promised we’d keep it professional. Open doors. Daylight distance. That lasted until the first time he locked his office door after hours, bent me over his desk, and took me hard and deep, his hand covering my mouth to muffle my moans. Now at nights I'm to be reading.. his mouth between my thighs until I’m shaking, urgent encounters against bookshelves, and the constant thrill of almost getting caught. His marks on my papers in red ink. His marks on my skin in the dark. He’s my professor. I’m his student. He’s off-limits. I’m supposed to know better. Neither of us can stop.

When I suffered from major depressive disorder, my academic performance plummeted. When my mother saw the big red 'F' on my exam paper, she was so furious that she tied my hands behind my back and threw me into the fish pond. “I scrimped and saved to send you to tutoring classes, and this is how you repay me? “Stop with this depression nonsense! You’re just being dramatic. You need a wake-up call. Stay in that pond until you come to your senses!” The weather was cold, and the water was freezing. I was never a good swimmer, so I could only beg for mercy. My mother, however, ignored my pleas. She forcibly dragged my father away to attend my cousin’s college send-off party. The waterweed wrapped around my feet and pulled me under. I decided to stop struggling. “Mom, I’m sorry I couldn’t be the perfect student you keep hoping for. Maybe you’ll be relieved to be rid of me.”

Avery's life as a dedicated student shatters when a reckless one-night stand reveals her dark, commanding lover is her new literature professor, Draco Thorne. Their illicit affair plunges her into a world of forbidden desires and his undeniable, dangerous possessiveness. Can she resist the pull of his darkness, or will her sinful syllabus consume her entirely?

When the SAT scores are out, I've scored 400 out of 1600. That's because I never wrote anything on my exam papers. My mom goes crazy, whereas my younger sister, Melinda Bolton, bursts into tears. But I just laugh at them instead. In my previous life, Melinda had formed a pact with the score-swapping system. That was how she swapped our SAT scores. She became the top scorer that all prestigious universities fought to recruit. I, the valedictorian of my year, not only got into a trade school, but I also got expelled from my previous high school. Melinda had the gall to comfort me. "Didn't you call yourself a genius, Melissa? Trade schools are very popular right now. In the future, you'll secure a job at a factory out there!" In this life, I spend my exam hours sleeping in my seat the whole time. Melinda wants to swap her scores, right? Then, let's do it properly!
