In the golden halls of the royal palace, where polished smiles hide knives and every word is a calculated move, Princess Orm plays her part - warm, naive to some, but quietly drowning under the weight of her fractured family. Her father rules through fear and politics, her mother dotes only on her golden son, and every "friend" she meets either wants her power or fears the consequences of knowing her too well. Behind her practiced smile, she's alone - desperate for real connection, but too cautious to trust anyone.
Enter Ling, the cold, sharp-tongued outsider everyone whispers about but no one dares to confront. Raised in the palace since childhood, invited to every royal ceremony yet kept at arm's length, she knows only this: her mother died giving birth to her, and her father was a close friend of the king - a convenient explanation that never fully made sense. With biting humor and fierce loyalty to the few who earn it, she fights daily to carve a place for herself in a world that refuses to let her belong.
Their paths have always collided - the princess, with her gentleness and subtle sadness; the noble, with her bitterness masked as indifference. Both convinced the other has the life they crave. Both resenting the other's existence. Both irrevocably wrong.
But when buried secrets rise - when whispers of war, bloodlines, and betrayal threaten to unravel the court - they'll discover their shared hatred is built on carefully constructed lies. The noble's true identity is far from what she's been told.
Everything they know shatters - loyalty, identity, even the feelings simmering just beneath their constant battles. Enemies by design, drawn together by something neither fully understands.
In a palace built on deception, can love survive when the truth finally claws its way to the surface? Or will they destroy each other before the walls come down?

The Queen's Empress - LingOrm
🎬 Vampire Queen (Ling) x Vampire Agent (Orm) Orm Kornnaphat is a vampire who chose to live among humans. Becoming a spy was something she had always dreamed of. An agent - that's what she is now. A professional agent who has played a key role in handling matters behind the scenes of the government. It was a pleasure for her to make those pests suffer. They deserved every bit of it. Her code name is Lady Meiling - a name that contrasts sharply with her sweet, smiling face, which hides the ruthless persona she becomes during missions. During a mission, Orm was accidentally shot - badly enough to send her tumbling off a cliff. When she regained consciousness, she found herself in a luxurious room filled with gleaming furniture. The servants addressed her as Her Majesty the Empress. It turned out that Orm had been rescued by a vampire queen - who, as fate would have it, was her mate. It was an incredibly frustrating stroke of bad luck for Orm - her mate just so happened to be a woman who already had ten wives. Ten! Absolutely insane. Orm's life became even more challenging after moving into the palace. Nearly all of the Queen's consorts and concubines wished for her death. The vampire queen's name was Lingling Kwong. She was born of a curse - one that left her with a unique condition: a female body, but male reproductive organs. How did Orm endure her days in the palace, when every step she took was laced with traps? Not just thorns - but countless other schemes carefully laid to make her feel unwelcome, even hunted. A skilled agent and powerful vampire, Orm was now challenged to remain graceful while surrounded by blades pointed at her from every direction. Could she survive it all? And what happens when she breaks her own vow - to never fall in love with her own wife? What is she supposed to do when the feelings are already there, quietly taking root in the shadows of her heart?Complete![My Brother's Wife [LingOrm]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/391298782-256-k5931.jpg)

By the time Lingling realizes her feelings, Orm is already married to Jamie. Heartbroken, she keeps her emotions hidden, silently enduring the pain. But Jamie harbors a secret of his own-his ex-girlfriend, Jane, returns after years apart, rekindling old emotions. Unable to resist, Jamie begins an affair with Jane, meeting her in secret while keeping Orm in the dark. Even on their honeymoon in Venice, Italy, Jamie brings Jane along, deceiving Orm with yet another lie.

When she unexpectedly crosses paths with Orm in the heart of the city, emotions resurface. Will this chance encounter force them to confront their true feelings? And will Jamie's infidelity finally come to light, shattering the illusion of his perfect marriage? In the city of love, hidden desires and painful truths collide.

Urge to keep you | Lingorm
Lingling Sirilak Kwong was raised with silence in her veins. She doesn't shout. She doesn't ask. Her hands do the speaking-steady, exact, dangerous in a way that doesn't need to warn you twice. She leads with the kind of power that doesn't seek permission. Her world is sharp-edged and quiet, and she's made peace with being alone in it. Orm Kornnaphat Sethratanapong lives differently-under fluorescent lights, in rooms that smell like antiseptic and the weight of responsibility. Everything about her is clean, practiced, still. Her voice is soft, but her spine never bends. People depend on her. She lets them. Because she doesn't know what it's like to be chosen instead of needed. They met under bad lighting and worse timing. A parking lot. A crude comment. Four men. And one voice that cut the night open: "She told you to move." It should've ended there. A nod. A thank you. A walk away. But Orm didn't walk. And Lingling didn't let her. Now there's a thread pulled too tight between them. Sheets. Bruises. Breathless silence. A thousand things said with hands instead of mouths. Lingling touches Orm like she's already hers. Orm lets her in like she doesn't know how to say no. It's not love. Not yet. But something hangs in the space they keep trying not to name. It lingers on the tip of the tongue, right where pretending and staying start to blur. --- --- G!P LinglingComplete
Eyes That Never Looked Back I LingOrm
DISCLAIMER This story is purely fictional. It has no connection to real-life events, individuals, or entities, whether living or deceased. Any similarities are purely coincidental and unintentional. Ling Ling Kwong & Orm Kornnaphat, of course, are lovely girls and not as the characters mentioned in this fanfiction. Remember, this is a fanfiction! Enjoy! **All photos are credited to their respective owners. Prologue The first time Ling met Orm, she was six years old, hiding behind her mother's leg at a bustling café filled with the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee. It was her parents' favorite place, though she never paid much attention to it-until that day. Orm, a little girl in an oversized apron, stood on her tiptoes behind the counter, stacking sugar packets with intense focus. She looked up, locking eyes with Ling, and grinned. "You wanna help?" Orm had asked, holding out a packet. Ling hesitated. She had never been invited to do something so ordinary before. But the warmth in Orm's voice was different from the polished, rehearsed greetings she was used to. From that moment on, Ling and Orm were inseparable. Their differences never seemed to matter. Ling, with her designer dresses and chauffeur-driven rides, and Orm, in her simple clothes, always smelling faintly of coffee beans and warm pastries. They built their own world within the walls of that small café, sharing secrets, dreams, and laughter. But some things were never said out loud. Orm never told Ling that her heart raced whenever Ling smiled at her. Or that she memorized every little habit-the way Ling twirled her straw in iced coffee, or how she tapped her nails against the table when she was deep in thought. And Ling? She was blissfully unaware, believing that nothing between them would ever change. Until the day she fell in love with someone else.Complete
When It Was Only Us
A LINGxORM AU Orm Kornnaphat fell first. Back in The Secret of Us days, every glance, every scripted kiss, every playful touch behind the scenes carved itself into her heart. Ling Ling Kwong was gentle, warm, endlessly sweet - fixing her hair before takes, holding her hand in interviews, calling her น้อง (Nong) with a smile that Orm wanted to believe meant more. Fans screamed that they were real, and for Orm, it was too easy to drown in the fantasy. Years later, in Only You, nothing has changed - at least, not for her. Ling still dotes on her, on-cam and off-cam, with the same effortless affection. The fandom loves them, their chemistry is undeniable, and Orm's feelings have only grown sharper, deeper, impossible to contain. But Ling's heart has never been hers to hold. Behind the scenes, hidden from cameras and fans, Ling keeps a secret Orm isn't supposed to know. For Orm, every touch is salvation and every smile is torment. For Ling, it's innocent closeness, sisterly warmth, nothing more. And when the truth finally comes out, Orm is left with nothing but memories - memories that once felt like love, now poisoned with reality. A story of devotion unspoken, kindness mistaken, and heartbreak too heavy to name. Because sometimes, what feels the most real is only an illusion. PS: All BTS and scripts mentioned during the filming scenes are all part of my imagination. 😉Complete
Always You. Unfortunately | LINGORM
Ling finally tried committing to something other than her career, the gym routine and a rotating roster of flings. She proposed. Her girlfriend laughed. Apparently, Ling's "I'm not a relationship person" reputation is harder to shake than she thought. Especially when her *actual* longest relationship is with her best friend, Orm, and the tiny child who bosses her around and claims "she's ours."

The Vow We Never Chose
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.Complete
The Memory Between Us I LingOrm
Prologue - The Memory Between Us They said time would heal her. But two years later, Ling was still staring out the glass window of her penthouse, fingers wrapped around a cold mug of coffee she never finished. CEO. Heiress. Fiancée to a ghost. Her world ended once... And then again, when she was forced to marry someone who wasn't even hers to begin with. The vows weren't meant for her. The dress wasn't either. But the name on the marriage certificate? Ling Ling Kwong. And the bride beside her? Orm. Her sister's fiancée. It was supposed to be temporary. A contract. Just one year to protect the family name and walk away. But no one told her love doesn't follow contracts. And no one warned her how cruel memory could be. Because just when Ling finally opened her heart again... Orm forgot everything. Forgot their laughter. Their fights. Their promises. Forgot her. And now, Ling wasn't sure she had the strength to lose her all over again. DISCLAIMER This story is purely fictional.
