In the sleepless heart of modern New York, where glass skyscrapers glimmer like altars to human ambition, something ancient stirs beneath the surface. They walk among mortals-creatures of hunger wearing faces of civility. Vampires dine beside the living, whispering laughter over wine, their elegance masking centuries of blood and silence. And at the center of this quiet masquerade stands Jennie, a soft-spoken editor in a Manhattan publishing firm. No one suspects the truth-that she is Ruby Jane, Queen of Vampires, heir to a lineage that carved history in crimson. She abandoned her throne in Europe, left her kin restless and vengeful, for one reason only: a mortal woman named Lalisa Manoban. Lisa is light. Warmth. Everything Ruby's kind has forgotten how to touch. For two years, Ruby has hidden in plain sight, living beneath fluorescent lights and mortal chatter, her hunger stitched behind a smile. Every laugh, every careless glance from Lisa unravels her further. Anyone who drifts too close to Lisa vanishes-quietly, efficiently, as if erased by the night itself. But Ruby is not the only thing stalking her. There are shadows that do not carry the scent of blood. Older. Colder. Watching. When an unseen predator begins haunting the same alleys, Ruby's obsession twists into wariness. The city trembles under disappearances dressed as coincidence, and the fragile veil between the human and the monstrous begins to thin. Soon, the Queen who came to worship will have to choose: concealment or carnage. And Lalisa Manoban-the woman she cannot stop watching- may not be the prey she believes she is.

Jennie Kim is the confident, popular student and leader who's always dated boys-until she meets Lisa Manoban, a all out proud gay, quirky transfer student. Their friendship grows into something deeper, leading Jennie to question her identity. Together, they face the challenges of growing up, self-discovery, and first love. adaptation of heartstopper from netflix author: alice oseman

Lisa Manoban enters college at seventeen with bruised knuckles, a quiet smile, and a past she never speaks about. She sits alone, keeps her head down, and walks away from every bruise - the ones on her hands and the ones on her heart. Jennie Kim notices her on day one. The girl in the hoodie. The girl who never fights back. The girl who smiles like she's used to being hurt. Jennie shouldn't care. But she does - more than she can explain. Lisa keeps her distance because she thinks she has nothing to offer... nothing but loneliness, part-time jobs, and a heart no one has ever stayed for. Jennie sees everything she hides. And slowly, quietly, she becomes the first person who doesn't walk away. A story about two girls who learn that love doesn't demand perfection... just the courage to stay.

Lisa has always been just another devoted fan-one face in the crowd, one lightstick raised among thousands. But everything changes when she begins dreaming of Jennie Kim... dreams so vivid and warm that they feel more like memories than fantasies. What Lisa doesn't know is that Jennie is dreaming of her too. Night after night, the idol finds herself meeting the same unfamiliar girl in the quiet corners of her mind-someone she has never met, yet feels strangely connected to. Someone who feels real. When BLACKPINK's tour finally reaches Manila, the impossible happens. Jennie steps on stage, looks into the audience... and freezes. Because she sees her. The girl from her dreams. The girl she thought didn't exist. A fan and an idol-two worlds that should never cross-are suddenly pulled together by a connection neither of them can explain. Was it destiny? Fate? Or something deeper, written long before they ever met? As their dreams become reality, both must face the truth: some people you meet by chance- others, you meet because the universe insists on it.

Jennie and Lisa grew up side by side-sharing rooftops, secrets, and a bond they never had the words for. What began as childhood friendship slowly deepens as they grow older, turning into a feeling both frightening and familiar. As their lives change and their hearts pull them in new directions, the girls must learn to understand what love truly means, accept their identities, and face the truth they've been running from for years. Before We Knew It Was Love is a gentle, emotional journey about growing up, discovering who you are, and falling in love with the person who's been by your side all along.

She had beauty, power, and a line of suitors who tried endlessly to impress her. But to Jennie, they all felt the same - predictable, shallow, and tiring.
