She thought the villain was her curse until she became her only refuge. Ling devotes her life to saving others yet the shadow of her greatest enemy lingers at every turn. When fate forces their paths to cross once more, Ling discovers that the line between hatred and something far more dangerous is thinner than she ever imagined.

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.

When Orm Kornnaphat transfers from the busy city to her grandmother's quiet province, the last thing she expects is to cross paths with her-the beautiful volleyball captain, Lingling Kwong. The same girl who once stole a kiss she could never forget. 7/11/24 - Started 7/20/24 - Finished
