And maybe, just maybe, it would be funny to mess with whoever was running this fake profile. She swiped right. IT'S A MATCH! Miu snorted. Of course it matched. Catfish accounts matched with everyone.

But behind the success and prestige was a woman suffocating under her family's control.

# WHEN THE TEMPLE CALLS Eight university students accidentally discover a hidden staircase beneath their university library after finding an ancient map sealed inside a restricted archive. What begins as harmless curiosity soon turns into a terrifying journey toward a forgotten temple buried deep within the mountains. The map does not lead them to treasure. It leads them to something that was never meant to awaken. As the group travels closer to the temple, strange things begin happening around them. Ancient symbols appear where they should not exist. Whispering voices call their names during the night. Paths change on their own, and the deeper they go, the more the temple seems alive. At the center of the mystery are Lena and Miu. Lena is calm, observant, and always in control, while Miu is chaotic, fearless, and impossible to predict. Despite constantly clashing, the two slowly become each other's emotional anchor as the horrors surrounding the temple grow stronger. Alongside them are their closest friends: Ling and Orm, Engfa and Charlotte, Freen and Becky. Together, the eight students must uncover the truth behind the ancient temple before the darkness sealed within it awakens completely. But inside the temple, they discover something far more terrifying than ghosts or curses. The temple already knows who they are. And it has been waiting for them for a very long time.

She broke her heart to build an empire. Now, she needs her to save it. Miu Vongviphan is the youngest Chairwoman in the history of her family's dynasty.

But within the glass walls of Miu's penthouse, the lines between the past and the present begin to blur. As old wounds reopen and new passions ignite, Lena realizes that Miu isn't just fighting for a company, she's hiding a devastating secret about why she really left five years ago. In a game of high-stakes corporate warfare where every move is analyzed, the only thing more dangerous than the lie... is the truth. Can a love built on a contract ever be real?
