It is a boys' love (BL) story, so please read with caution.🔞 Phuwin Tangsakyuen, the Duke of Thaloria, never wanted the crown of Valor. Haunted by his father's mysterious death two decades ago, he despises the royal family and the weight of the throne. But fate has other plans. Now thrust into power as the ruler of Valor, Phuwin must unravel the dark secrets of the monarchy while his heart pulls him in a different direction. His unexpected love for Pond Naravit Lertratkosum, an outsider, forces him to make an impossible choice-his kingdom or his heart. Will Phuwin discover the truth and find happiness, or will duty cost him everything?

- "Rivals on the court. Temptation off it." ------------------------------------------------- Phuwin plays with precision-every pass calculated, every shot clean. He's the rising star with ice in his veins and no time for distractions. Especially not the kind that smirks like trouble and moves like temptation. Pond is chaos in motion. A playboy with a killer crossover and a reputation for breaking hearts off the court. He's cocky, unpredictable, and maddeningly good at getting under Phuwin's skin. They're rivals-always have been. On the court, they clash like thunder and lightning. Off the court, the tension simmers, sharp and electric. Phuwin swears no one can make him lose control. Pond swears he's not chasing anything serious. But when rivalry turns into something hotter, heavier, and far more dangerous than either of them expected, they're forced to confront the truth: Some games aren't meant to be won. Some hearts aren't meant to stay guarded. And sometimes, the person you're trying hardest to beat... is the one you're falling hardest for. ---

"I never wanted to be your enemy, Pond. I just wanted to be the person you could rest against. The one who made things easier." "Then why didn't you tell me? Why did you let it get this far?" "And maybe you shouldn't have doubted me before everything came down," Five years ago, Pond and Phuwin stood face to face-hearts full of unspoken feelings, just seconds away from something more. But before they could cross the line from friendship to love, Phuwin disappeared without a word, leaving Pond with silence... and a shattered heart. Now he's back. But they're no longer just two boys with a past-they're the center of a shocking arranged marriage neither of them saw coming. The air between them is heavier than ever-thick with tension, buried wounds, and feelings that never died. Can they survive the secrets, family pressure, and years of heartbreak long enough to find the truth? Or will their second chance slip through their fingers... just like the first? --- ⚠️ This story contains: Mpreg Heavy smut 🔞🫶🏻 Angst Slow-burn, high-stakes romance Side couples: Joong x Dunk & Gemini x Fourth 💬 This is my first story - thank you for reading & supporting! 🫶 #1- menlovemen 28/06/25, 11/08/25 #1- GeminiFourth 13/08/25 #8- b×b 06/07/25 #5-PondPhuwin 06/09/25
