August is a simple girl who's life has been filled with cadavers, flowers, tea leaf readings and conversations with ghosts. Not much to it other than that. She and her father work in a funeral home in a small dying town. Everyone is leaving and billionaires are buying up land from them all. This means big changes for August and her companion Atlas.
Understandably August is nervous to go to high school for the first time after being homeschooled almost all her life but with Atlas at her side the whole time she has nothing to fear. All goes well, she meets some fairly nice people and she can still have tea with her father at the bakery. However her school is much more terrifying than she thinks. When she comes across a new type of ghosts she has never seen before, August starts investigating which means letting out her family secret as well. Not only will the path lead her to answers, it will also haunt her for the rest of her life.

Despite her wealth, Ling lives with quiet humility, her life as polished and serene as the wine glasses she sets on her tables. Then comes Orm Korn. Loud, reckless, and untamed, the twenty-three-year-old troublemaker bursts into Ling's calm world on the night of her own birthday. With her boyish charm, amber eyes that gleam with mischief, and a laugh that demands attention, Orm is everything Ling isn't-and everything Ling can't seem to resist. What starts as playful banter quickly deepens into stolen glances, lingering touches, and the kind of late-night confessions that blur the line between danger and desire. Ling falls for Orm's raw honesty, believing in the passion she sees beneath the chaos. But Orm carries a secret-one that began as a cruel bet with her friends: make Ling fall, take her riches, and walk away. What Orm never expected was to fall too-deeper and harder than she ever thought possible. When the truth shatters Ling's heart, will Orm prove she's more than the reckless girl who started it all?

Oh My Ghost! (LingOrm)
Lingling Kwong just wants to graduate, survive her half-time jobs, and not completely lose her mind writing her final thesis. Easier said than done when you're broke, burnt out, and living off instant noodles in a creaky old apartment your parents are barely managing to pay for back in Hong Kong. Her thesis topic? The mysterious death of Orm Kornnaphat-a beautiful, kind-hearted woman whose case was left unsolved and buried in silence. Ling expected late-night research, maybe some spooky vibes at worst. What she didn't expect? Seeing Orm. Like, actually seeing her. Blonde hair. Soft smile. Floating three inches off the ground. Oh, and haunting her apartment. As Ling digs deeper into the past, Orm sticks around-clingy, chaotic, and way too attractive for someone who's technically dead. From flickering lights to flying cutlery to accidental ghost cuddles, the line between fear and affection starts to blur. But falling for a ghost comes with more than just spectral kisses and phantom puns. If Ling doesn't solve the mystery of Orm's death, the girl she's falling for might be trapped forever. Fun. Scary. Chaotic. One's alive. One's dead. And somehow, they might just be each other's unfinished business.Complete

Enter Orm Kornnaphat - a wildly attractive, sports teacher with honey-amber eyes, a crooked smirk, and a soft spot for a certain clingy six-year-old in her class. Orm never cared for commitments... until Sirilak latched onto her like a koala, and her reserved mother waltzed into her life with dark eyes and a body made of temptation. What begins with innocent schoolyard encounters and stolen glances spirals into something neither of them expected - a slow, burning connection tangled in unspoken fears, inconvenient timing, and a desire too strong to ignore. Orm wants her. All of her. Ling is terrified to want back. But love, like children, doesn't wait for perfect timing.Complete
