Everyone thinks Manon has the perfect life. Perfect face. Perfect body. Perfect boyfriend. But perfection is a lie. Behind closed doors, her life is controlled, suffocating-her family demands it, and David... he destroys her in quieter ways. Charming in public, reckless in private, and drowning himself in alcohol, David is the kind of love that leaves bruises you can't always see. So when he gets her cast on Next Top Model, Manon thinks it's her escape. A fresh start. A new version of herself. But the spotlight doesn't save her-it exposes everything. The competition is ruthless. The girls are vicious. Jealousy burns hotter than stage lights, friendships shatter overnight, and every mistake is broadcast to the world. Manon quickly learns that beauty isn't power here... it's a weapon. Then Lara walks in. Confident. Unpredictable. Dangerous. She wasn't part of the plan-but suddenly, she's all Manon can think about. What starts as tension turns into something deeper... something forbidden. And for the first time, Manon feels seen. Really seen. But in a world built on betrayal, nothing stays pure for long. Because Lara crosses a line she can't uncross. And David? He's not just her boyfriend anymore. He's watching. Judging. Controlling. From the panel. Now Manon is trapped between the love that's breaking her and the one that might ruin her completely. In a game where everything is fake, emotions are real-and they cut deeper than any scar. How far would you go to be perfect... and what would you lose to get there?

NO SPOILERS JS READ AND FIND OUT... YES THERE IS SMUT!

Lara, a faceless RnB artist with 27.9 million monthly listeners, finds out about a very interesting streamer who goes by the name Manon. She quickly becomes infatuated with this woman and starts basing songs on her. One day, they randomly stumble upon each other in a cafe, and that day, Lara decides she needs this girl. Or Lara becomes obsessed with Manon and makes an entire album based on her to confess (not before completely fucking up, though).

Lara has always kept her distance, terrified that someone, especially Manon, will uncover the truth she's hidden her whole life. Everyone in the group knows her secret and respects her boundaries, except for Manon, whose touch, closeness, and jealousy make everything harder to hide. When Manon realizes Lara only pulls away from her, frustration turns into suspicion, and her determination to find out what Lara is hiding pushes them dangerously close. As Manon gets nearer, Lara's secret becomes harder to protect, because some truths aren't meant to be touched... and Manon has never been good at keeping her hands off what she wants.

lara and manon fall in love, and the rest of the members join and enjoy every part of it❤️
