The number on Ji-woo's wrist says 61. It isn't her score. It's how many years she has left. At Myeongseong Academy, Seoul's most elite cram school, every student is ranked, and every rank has a price. Climb, and you take years from the kids below you. Fall, and you lose them. On her first night, scholarship student Han Ji-woo watches a boy drop to zero. Number one, Kang Hyun, has the most years in the school, and he's been secretly giving them away. But the years never add up. Someone above them is drinking them. To save her mother, her friends, and the boy she was told to stay away from, Ji-woo will have to break the one rule that keeps the school running: never help anyone. Every rank you climb costs someone a year.
