The Undergrads — series

Tropes & Themes

How it starts

Clover Rowan Walsh has meticulously planned her future: secure a full scholarship to Wexley University, excel in business studies, and escape the financial struggles that have defined her life. However, when her housing grant unexpectedly falls through just before the semester begins, Clover discovers a loophole: married students can share dormitory accommodations at the cost of one. Desperate, she approaches Bennett Andrew Graves—the heir to the Graves Coffee empire and the boy who broke her heart years ago—with a marriage proposal. Despite their tumultuous past and ongoing animosity, Bennett agrees. As they navigate their fake marriage, the lines between pretense and reality blur, leading them to question the authenticity of their arrangement.
