Heartfeltandhumorous Histoires

My Entry for ONC 2025 (Open Novella Contest). Delia and Stella are clichéd opposites. Delia is the hard-working, introverted sister, and Stella is the outgoing, always ready-for-a-party sister. But when a handsome new neighbor turns Stella into a googly-eyed, stuttering mess, Delia unwittingly steps in to play matchmaker. Despite the good intentions, being cupid is hard, especially when the rules start to blur.

When Jin Ha-young, Seoul's most sought-after "contract girlfriend," agrees to take on the elusive and icy chaebol heir Kang Ji-woo as a client, she assumes it's just another job. Tasked with posing as his fiancée to appease his formidable grandmother and secure his inheritance, Ha-young steps into a high-stakes world of wealth, power, and intrigue. But as the lines between professional and personal begin to blur, Ha-young's fiery charm clashes with Ji-woo's frosty demeanor, creating sparks neither of them anticipated. Between navigating family skepticism, intense public scrutiny, and their own unspoken vulnerabilities, they must maintain the perfect illusion-or risk losing everything.
