Old flames, new choices-will love rewrite holiday plans? Marinette Dupain-Cheng thought she had the perfect life: a rising career, a charming boyfriend, and freedom from her days as Ladybug. But when she's called back to Paris after Master Fu's passing, everything she thought she wanted unravels faster than holiday tinsel. Three years ago, Adrien Agreste's world changed overnight. One moment, he was planning a trip to New York to win back his ex-girlfriend; the next, he found himself the sole guardian of a newborn. When Marinette and Adrien reconnect, their once-simple friendship rekindles with more holiday sparks than they bargained for. Between juggling a toddler, stolen glances, and Parisian winter nights, their bond blossoms into something deeper-something real. But when Marinette's old boyfriend returns, hoping for a second chance, she's torn between the life she always planned and the love she never saw coming. This Christmas, Marinette will have to decide: should she follow her heart or the path she believed was her destiny? One thing's for sure-love has a way of rewriting the best-laid plans.

At 16 years old, Marinette prepares for the chance of a lifetime. Internships, closer to defeating Hawkmoth, overcoming the awkwardness between her and her crush... but when her parents decide to leave for a baking contest in the states, she's told she can't live in Paris on her own. Determined to find a place to stay for the time being, Marinette comes across the only other option. Living with your crush seems exciting- I mean, it's a chance to get closer to him, right? But instead, what lies ahead is a road of rumors, lies, danger, confusion, awkward teenagers, and quite a few secrets that begin to turn both Adrien and Marinette's lives upside down. While fighting for both of their identities, both are busy with their lingering emotions. Will either of them be able to confess how they really feel to one another before the year is up? Or will they forever remain oblivious to each other's identities and feelings? (previously #1 in miraculous and miraculousladybug)
