Inside Bahay ni Kuya, akala mo it's all just a game-hanggang sa may maramdaman kang hindi mo kayang i-deny. You are **Angelshai Baltazar (Shy)**-quiet, observant, and mas sanay ka pang tumingin sa stars kaysa magtiwala sa tao. Love? Not your thing. Until you met River Joseph. The one you bumped into at his game way back then. Sa gitna ng cameras, challenges, at mga mata ng ibang housemates, unti-unting nabuo ang something between you and him-sa simpleng usap, tinginan, at late-night moments na parang kayo lang ang magkaintindihan. But in a place where nothing is private... paano mo malalaman kung totoo 'to? Or maybe... tulad ng stars na mahal mo- it's beautiful, but not meant to last. 𝗥𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗝𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗽𝗵 𝗫 𝗙𝗲𝗺 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿.ᐟ.ᐟ

The Black Witch and the Rainbow Princes (AzRalph): In the glittering halls of the ultra-prestigious Saint-Laurent Academy, power wears a smile---and a color. Every year, seven exceptional boys from the most elite families are crowned the Rainbow Princes, each representing a color of the rainbow. Revered by students and even feared by faculty, these so-called 'princes' hold untouchable status and control nearly every aspect of life within the school walls. To most students, they're royalty. To Azriel, the sharp-tongued new transfer, they're nothing but a symbol of everything wrong with the academy---its class system, its double standards, and its outdated traditions. She has no intention of bowing to anyone. But Azriel isn't just here to clash with authority---she's here for answers. Her best friend Ashley vanished without a trace, and Azriel believes one of the Rainbow Princes knows the truth. Ashley's last message still echoes in her mind: "Don't trust a Rainbow Prince." Now, caught between unraveling a mystery and surviving the academy's toxic hierarchy, Azriel finds herself entangled in the feud between the fiery, hot-headed Blue Prince, Ralph, and the rebellious, heartbreaker Red Prince, Emilio---while unexpectedly drawn to the ever-smiling, warmhearted Green Prince, River. In a school built on legacy, privilege, and secrets, Azriel must walk a dangerous line. Can she uncover the truth before it's too late? Or will the fate that claimed Ashley come for her next? ***** NOTE: This is written in English.

Unbeknownst to them, someone is plotting behind their backs-Margot, River's scheming stepmother, who will stop at nothing to claim the Navarro empire. Will love survive even when the lights return? Or will seeing the truth destroy what they've built in the dark?
