Orm Kornnaphat was trapped in an arranged marriage set up by her parents. Her father's company was in trouble, and the only one who came to the rescue was his old college friend - but on one condition: that Orm marry his only daughter. Her soon-to-be wife's name was Lingling Kwong, undeniably handsome - gorgeous. But... what made Orm even sadder was the fact that Lingling had Asperger's syndrome. Forced to break up with her girlfriend, barely graduated from college and already pushed into marriage - with a 'special' wife. Orm felt like rebelling, but she loved her parents too much. So she accepted it, even if she had to go through it all in tears.

In a world ruled by legacy, two women are forced into a marriage neither of them wanted... but fate might have other plans. Orm Kornnaphat is a spoiled heiress - fiery, dramatic, and used to getting her way. She's the rebellious daughter of a powerful food export empire, more interested in stuffed toys and late mornings than boardrooms and responsibilities. When her family forces her into an arranged marriage, she's furious - especially when her bride turns out to be the mysterious stranger who once helped her on a night she can't even remember. Lingling Kwong is the definition of composed. Cold, calculating, and beautiful, she's the only child of the Kwong business dynasty and a boss feared by everyone - but apparently not including her new wife. For Ling, obedience is survival. She's always done what's expected of her, even if it means marrying a bratty stranger for the sake of business and family pride. Thrown into a high-profile marriage neither of them asked for, Orm and Lingling become unwilling partners in a game far bigger than themselves. From chaotic mornings to silent car rides, office wars to stuffed toys invading private spaces - they're learning that hatred, annoyance, and sarcasm might just blur into something else when you're stuck in the same home, same office... and the same destiny. Love isn't part of the plan. But fate? Fate doesn't care what they planned.

After two years of secretly being together, at the peak of their careers, Ling and Orm decided to pause their relationship, promising to pick things up when circumstances were more favourable. Ling moved to Hong Kong for a job that was supposed to keep her away from Thailand for six months. But when she returned, seven years had passed, and their lives had changed in ways they could have never imagined. Do they still care for one other? Will they find their way back? --- The usual disclaimer: The characters are obviously inspired by LingOrm, and there might be references to real-life events, but the story is purely fictional. This is the fruit of one of my dreams (yep, I actually dreamt about it. Those two are taking over my life-help). English is not my first language, so my apologies for any potential mistakes. Peace and Love, JKRs :)

Lingling Sirilak Kwong, the fiercely independent heir to one of Thailand's most prestigious hospital empires, has no interest in romance. Scarred by a past betrayal, she vows never to open her heart again. But as the pressure to marry and uphold her family's legacy mounts, Lingling finds herself cornered-until a chance encounter gives her a bold idea. Orm Kornnaphat Sethratanapong, a hardworking university student juggling studies and a food delivery job to pay her tuition, has little time for anything outside her dreams of a better future. When a fateful accident leaves a scratch on Lingling's luxury car, Orm braces herself for the worst. Instead, she's blindsided by a proposition that will change her life forever. Desperate to avoid the suitors her parents have chosen, Lingling tricks Orm into a contract marriage, offering her financial security in exchange for pretending to be her girlfriend. But as their lives intertwine, the stark differences between them ignite more than just tension. What starts as a cold business arrangement begins to thaw under the warmth of shared moments, unexpected kindness, and the spark of something real. Will Lingling and Orm overcome the barriers of class, past wounds, and their own fears to find love in the most unlikely of places?

Synopsis: At Serene Hope Medical Center, internist Lingling Kwong and trauma surgeon Orm Kornnaphat are anything but serene. Lingling, known for her precision, discipline, and post-shift weightlifting, views Orm as a reckless scalpel-swinger with a God complex. Orm, a rising surgical star and viral vlogger, thinks Lingling is too cautious, too stiff and way too attractive when she's mad. When the hospital assigns them to co-lead a research initiative on improving surgical recovery outcomes, their professional clash turns personal. Forced to work together, they argue about treatment plans by day and awkwardly avoid eye contact by night... until bickering turns into lingering stares, jealousy sparks over gym partners and vlog followers, and sulking becomes the newest form of flirting. As their rivalry blurs into something softer and much more dangerous to their guarded hearts they must decide: will they keep drawing battle lines, or finally surrender to the tension that's been building with every chart signed and every elevator ride? Cross My Heart, Suture Yours is a slow-burn medical rom-com filled with scalpels, sass, gym-induced jealousy, hallway sulking, and the kind of love story that heals deeper than medicine ever could.

Prologue "Not all heartbreaks come from betrayal. Some grow from choices made in silence." They were happy once. Truly. Stupidly. Brilliantly happy. After the rivalry, the tension, the guarded hearts-Lingling and Orm had found each other. Two doctors, one heart. They stood in the dawn light outside the hospital, palms pressed, quiet smiles blooming. And for years, they made it work. Lingling soared in internal medicine-panels, journals, awards. Orm, ever proud, filmed her behind the scenes, smitten and steady. They shared shift schedules, socks, even toothbrushes. Fans adored their chemistry-Orm's teasing, Lingling's glares that always ended in a blush. But slowly, life crept in. Lingling picked rounds over date nights, grant proposals over cuddles. She missed anniversaries. Ignored Orm's soft pleas to rest, to breathe, to be there. Not out of malice. Just... neglect. Lingling believed love would hold on its own. But Orm was tired of holding it alone. "I miss us," Orm said once while Lingling typed away. "You never look at me the way you look at your career." Lingling didn't flinch. "My work matters." "And I don't?" Orm whispered. She didn't say no. She said nothing. That silence became a wound. Orm stopped filming at home. Stopped asking. Stopped hoping for a space in a life Lingling was building without her. Until one night, suitcase in hand, Orm stood by the door. "Do you even see me anymore, Ling?" Lingling didn't look up. That was all she needed. She left-no slammed doors, no last plea. Just a note on the fridge: "You chose your calling. I just wish you made room for me in it. - O." Lingling came home late. Read the note under harsh fluorescent light. And for the first time in years, she realized- She'd won every award. But lost her heart. Cross My Heart, Suture Yours: CODE RED

What happens when a quiet overthinker marries a chaotic rich girl she barely knows? Lingling's life has always been about sacrifice-until her former boss asks her to marry his daughter, Orm. Awkward? Yes. Unexpected? Definitely. But Orm, wild and spoiled, might just need someone like Lingling... and Lingling might need someone to remind her she deserves love too. Forced to share a life neither asked for, they stumble through misunderstandings, late-night confessions, and the kind of chemistry no one saw coming. A soft, slow-burn GL romance full of heart, humor, and healing.

Lingling, the ultra-serious CEO, has her perfectly controlled world turned upside down by Orm, a bubbly coffee shop owner who thinks life's too short for spreadsheets. Orm's charm and teasing instantly get under Lingling's skin. Will Orm's warmth melt Lingling's icy heart or will Lingling stay busy playing hard-to-get?
