When a renowned actor, Tay Tawan, decides to cast someone to play his late boyfriend in a new film, he is not prepared for what he finds. The perfect candidate is New Thitipoom, a young man who has hit rock bottom after a recent breakup and losing his job. The catch? New is a dead ringer for the love Tay lost. Is this fate, or a dangerous game of grief? Let's find out ~ Genre : Horror Romance Main leads : TayNew The story is totally fictional ~~

Three generations of friendship built a perfect legacy. Tay and New ruined it. They've been rivals since preschool-locked in a cold war that followed them through elementary school, high school, and straight into university. To their families, they're polite, distant sons. To each other, they're enemies who know every weakness, every trigger, every move. Tay is the campus popular boy-chaotic, charming, impossible to ignore. New is the untouchable varsity star-cold, precise, impossible to challenge. They share a curse: the same taste. Every person New has ever liked, Tay has wanted too. Now it's happening again-with Inn, a quiet Business major who becomes the newest prize in their lifelong war. "It started on a playground. It followed us to university. We never learned how to share-especially not love."

Tay and New come from completely different worlds, Tay was born into wealth, while New grew up with nothing. Tay's parents divorced three years ago, and ever since then, he has been holding onto one fragile hope: that his family might still be fixed. But that hope begins to crumble when his father decides to marry again-this time, to New's mother. What hurts even more is the decision his father makes one day: New will move into their house. Tay can't accept it. Not this. Not him. "You destroyed the family I was dreaming of."Tay says. But was it truly destroyed? Or is this the very moment when it begins to take a different shape-one that might be even more complete?

The library of the small orphanage was quiet. A few children sat on the floor with their legs folded, forming a circle, while New sat in the middle of them, holding an old notebook with pages that had already faded. "Kuya New," one of them asked, "Is it true that you loved someone before?" New smiled. It was a smile that had grown used to pain, yet no longer cried. "I did."he answered. "And he is the most beautiful story of my life."

It all started with a bet, a challenge thrown by a friend daring New to get close to the one person everyone assumed was untouchable. Loud, reckless, and used to controlling the chaos around him, New thought it would be simple, a game he could win without effort. But Tay was nothing like anyone expected. Quiet, composed, untouchable in a way that felt deliberate. He never revealed his moves, yet somehow he always seemed a step ahead, watching without reacting, calculating without showing his hand. What began as a bet turned into a collision neither of them fully understood. Rules were broken, routines unraveled, and control slipped from both sides in ways neither of them could predict. What started as a challenge soon became a question neither of them could ignore: when chaos meets control, who is really playing whom?

A marriage without love?

It started with a smile I wasn't supposed to notice, the kind that stays in your head long after you look away. I didn't know then that some smiles aren't meant to be returned, only remembered... until they break you.

New had always admired Helio's son from the moment he first laid eyes on him. He watched him constantly from the safety of his territory, longing to run his fingers through his hair, feel his warm skin his his hand and get lost in those dazzling eyes. One day it seems like his wish was granted when the boy suddenly stubbornly swims out further than he should despite protests from the shore. Too bad that not all good things are built to last because soon after tragedy strikes. Almost immediately Tawan is whisked away and out of his life for good... Or so he thought. On the cusp of fleeing an arranged marriage and needing to get back what he gave, the boys meet on the very same shores once more. Questions on fate and boundaries arise as both try to nagivate their way in this world. 2 hearts, one story, 2 souls, one destiny.

Tay is the rising political golden boy. New is the theater graduate hired to act as his lover. The deal was simple:Pretend. But with each staged moment turning painfully real and every scandal pulling them closer, Tay and New find themselves tangled in a relationship neither of them can walk away from. In a world built on lies, strategy, and power,what happens when the only honest thing left is each other?

Tay Tawan and New Thitipoom were never supposed to work together again. Once rivals on a project that ended in silence and suspicion, they're now forced back under the same roof - sharp suits, colder smiles, and a high-stakes venture neither can afford to lose. But ambition isn't the only thing on the line. Buried attraction. Old resentment. The kind of tension that never really disappears. What started as rivalry is turning into something neither man can name and everything they've fought to control may be the very thing that undoes them.
