27 parts Ongoing Mature*The first book of the True Love series. *
The plot features a rival who fan the flames, a friend who delivers a fatal blow, a touch of humor, a hint of spice, some emotional turmoil and entanglement, several twists and turns, and plenty of flirtation and passion.
Sandra Yip, as a Western Amateur Women's Kickboxing titleholder and a diligent student of Applied Arts and Virtual Design, has a tough exterior and a champion's resilience. Yet beneath her confident facade lies a deep-rooted insecurity born from a fractured childhood. Guarded and fiercely independent, she's built walls around her heart-walls that begin to crumble when she crosses paths with Arden Lam.
Arden is the picture of privilege and poise. The heir to the powerful Lam family, Arden has never made promises to the countless women he's charmed-he knows his future is already mapped out, including an arranged marriage. But when Sandra unexpectedly steps into his life, his usual rules no longer seem to apply.
Their relationship begins with a spark that quickly ignites into a whirlwind of passion. Sandra struggles to resist Arden's overwhelming allure, caught between her desire for him and her instincts for self-preservation. Meanwhile, Arden finds himself captivated by Sandra's strength and vulnerability, abandoning his playboy ways for the first time.
Yet, their story is anything but simple. Two people from completely different worlds, both bristling with thorns, conflict is inevitable. It's a journey of clashing, chasing, and ultimately learning to soften those edges as time works its magic.
As emotions boil over and Sandra's defenses crumble, their love faces challenges neither of them could have foreseen. Can they overcome their differences, or are they destined to remain trapped in a relationship as tumultuous as it is undeniable?
