AriaHeartstrider

Sophia Amara Valdez, the simple girl from the province, is about to finish senior high with a humble dream: to study and succeed in life. But she never expected her path to college would involve becoming a nanny—and not just any nanny, but one to her own age-mate, the heir-to-the-throne, Raki Zed Valdez. For others, this might be a dream job; for Sophia, it feels like stepping into a rom-com... without the funny script.

In her life filled with sudden changes, Sophia will navigate university as if it's a high-stakes runway for luxury brands—while she's strutting her provincial pride in her best thrift shop outfits. She’ll try to survive this world of "royalty" alongside five handsome guys, a Mr. Mysterious who rarely smiles (but sure knows how to stare), and Zed, who may be her prince charming... or just a carefree goofball.

Join Sophia on her awkward yet hilarious misadventures at a university buzzing with whispers, unexpected friendships, and a love life as thrilling as a rollercoaster that just won't stop. Will Sophia find love? Or will she just end up being the best tutor-nanny in town?

This is the story of a small-town girl pursued by fate (and, apparently, some really good-looking guys!).
