His Mission: Succesfully woo, court and ensnare the student known as Marinette Dupain-Cheng.
His Reward: High school.
In exchange for one year of semi-freedom from his father and the never ending responsibilities placed atop his shoulder, Adrien Agreste is tasked with infiltrating the local private school in the hopes of securing the Gabriel brand legacy for decades to come.
All it’ll take is one Marinette Dupain-Cheng. Aka: The only girl his father would approve of.
The only problem? She’s way out of his league.
And after a strange, old man places a whole new set of responsibilities on his back, Adrien’s pretty damn sure he’s just screwed regardless.
