In the Kingdom of Ancient Thailand, amidst political unrest and secret vendettas, two lives intertwine in a forbidden bond of duty, vengeance, and unexpected love.
Lingling Kwong, the first female assassin in the Kingdom's History, is appointed to protect the young heiress, Princess Orm Kornnaphat. Haunted by a tragic past, Lingling's village was destroyed 15 years ago, her family slaughtered by royal soldiers, leaving her as the lone survivor.
Consumed by a thirst for justice, Lingling agrees to become Orm's protector, planning to infiltrate the palace, earn the princess's trust, and ultimately, exact revenge on the family responsible for her loss.
Orm Kornnaphat is not the cold, ruthless enemy Lingling imagined. The young heiress is compassionate, warm, and unguarded everything Lingling is not. As Lingling's facade of icy detachment cracks under Orm's relentless kindness, she finds herself torn between her mission and emotions she never thought she could feel again.
Little did she know, Orm discovers the truth of her protector's hidden motive. Instead of betraying Lingling's secret, Orm keeps it, choosing to win her heart instead..
In a climactic showdown where vengeance and love collide, Lingling must decide whether to follow the path of blood she has walked her entire life or surrender to the new light Orm has brought into her shadowed existence. Her choice will not only determine their fates but the future of the kingdom itself.
Will Lingling Kwong choose what her heart desires..? or she remains cold and keep her promise.
"I don't have to listen to you" I said crossing my arms over my chest.
"Oh but you have to." A smirk pulling at his lips as he took a step closer to my small figure, "I am twice your height," he leaned down to my ear to whisper "And I always get what I want."
A shiver went down my spine when he said that, but I can't let him know I have weakened. "Well I'm sorry to disappoint you, but your streak is about to end" I said turning around to walk to my room. "And you exaggerated, you aren't double my height." I say over my shoulder.
He put his hands on my waist before I could take a step, and he turned me back around "Oh pepe you just made a mistake. You are challenging me, and you will lose."
"I am not challenging you, I'm just not someone you can control." I said trying to squirm out of his grip.
"Watch your back." Is all he whispers before he heads into his room chuckling.
