Sinopse

Behind the Smiles tells the story of Nene, a teenage girl from the slum, who worked blue-collar jobs with her mother to put food on their table.

Her glittering academic prowess made her dream of a future she thought impossible until the doors of Royal Bliss Academy swung open.

A scholarship, her only hope of a degree, came with a heavy prize: the fate of the school fell on her shoulders and that of another. They must win a competition or she would pay the ultimate prize.

"The Murders in the Rue Morgue" is a story by Edgar Allan Poe published in Graham's Magazine in 1841. It has been recognized as the first detective story; Poe referred to it as one of his "tales of ratiocination". C. Auguste Dupin is a man in Paris who solves the mystery of the brutal murder of two women. Numerous witnesses heard a suspect, though no one agrees on what language was spoken. At the murder scene, Dupin finds a hair that does not appear to be human. Writing the first true detective in fiction, Poe's Dupin originated many literary conventions which would be used in future fictional detectives including Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot. Many later characters, for example, follow Poe's model of the brilliant detective, his personal friend who serves as narrator, and the final revelation being presented before the reasoning that leads up to it. Dupin himself reappears in "The Mystery of Marie Rogêt" and "The Purloined Letter".
