Phuwin Tang doesn't believe in love-but he does believe in leverage. So when his father tries to marry him off to the one person he swore he'd never go back to, Phuwin does the only thing he's good at- He finds something better. Something stronger. Something ruinous. A video. And at the center of it? Pond Naravit. Powerful. Untouchable. Dangerous. And the one man who has hated him for years. So Phuwin makes him a deal. A marriage for silence. A ring in exchange for ruin. It should've been simple. Fake smiles. Separate lives. No feelings. Except nothing about Pond is simple. Not the way he looks at Phuwin like he already knows every weakness. Not the way he refuses to touch him when it matters- and chooses someone else instead. Not the way their fights feel a little too close to something else. Something sharper. Hotter. Harder to ignore. Because somewhere between blackmail and champagne toasts- between quiet nights and unspoken claims- the line between enemies and something far more dangerous begins to blur. And when the truth finally surfaces... It won't just destroy their marriage. It might destroy them.

When two worlds clash - one ruled by ruthless business deals, the other by red carpets and scandals - the only thing tying them together is a ring neither of them wants. Diesel, Thailand's beloved bad boy superstar, is forced into an arranged marriage to save his career image. Day, a cold, disciplined heir and CEO, agrees to the union only to satisfy his shareholders. They agree on one thing: they'll never fall in love. But what happens when rules are broken, teasing turns into tension, and one heated night could change everything?

They've always been just friends-or at least, that's what they tell themselves, long enough for the label to feel safe, unquestioned, permanent. Pond keeps his life controlled, his emotions buried beneath sarcasm and distance. He has never dated anyone, not because he couldn't, but because he never wanted to. Somewhere along the way, his world narrowed quietly to one person, and loving his best friend felt like a risk he couldn't afford to take. Phuwin moves through the world effortlessly-warm, magnetic, surrounded by people yet never quite letting anyone close enough to stay. He has loved once, briefly and the way people expected him to, never questioning himself until the closeness he shares with Pond begins to feel heavier than friendship ever should. A slow-burn university romance about unspoken feelings, questioning identities, and the quiet realization that some loves exist long before they're brave enough to be named.

Pond's soulmark had always been inconveniently hidden beneath his collarbone - a swirl of ink-like script that had never so much as flickered. Until today. It pulsed once, sharp and sudden, the moment he stepped into the lecture hall... and locked eyes with a boy who looked like he wanted to throw his textbook at him.

Phuwin has a strictly "no entry" policy for his heart-and his apartment. After a devastating public betrayal, he's finally reclaimed his space. That is, until Pond Naravit-a former idol with a "termite" problem and a very distracting physique-decides to move into his guest room. Pond is everything Phuwin should avoid: persistent, teasing, and shamelessly honest. But as the lines between "roommate" and "reality" begin to blur, Phuwin realizes that some intruders are worth keeping. A story of healing, pink laundry disasters, and the man who refused to leave the lights off.

But instead of death, he's offered a deal by the man who runs Bangkok's criminal empire with silk gloves and iron fists. Pond doesn't need another lackey. He needs someone who can challenge him. Someone clever enough to break his rules... and foolish enough to stay.

"Phuwin was only supposed to be a temporary substitute. He didn't expect to be permanently claimed."

What begins as a professional arrangement quickly spirals into a dark game of dominance. Behind closed doors, Pond systematically breaks down Phuwin's icy composure through ruthless teasing, disciplinary marks, and a possessiveness that knows no bounds. In the boardroom, Phuwin is the replacement. In the bedroom, he's the prize Pond has no intention of ever letting go. Top Ship : |PondPhuwin| Note: This is entirely work of fiction!!

Title: "Like Fire Beneath Ice" Pond is the school's golden boy - loud, confident, and adored by everyone who falls under his smirk. Phuwin is his polar opposite - withdrawn, precise, and unapproachable, like a blade kept cold in its sheath. Their rivalry is infamous, sharpened by countless cold glares and heated debates. But when a public argument lands them in a month-long collaborative punishment, neither expects the hatred to crack... revealing something raw and terrifying underneath. Because sometimes, the line between loathing and longing is paper-thin - and fire melts even the coldest ice.
