In the stillness of the night, when the world is quite i feel The weight of his longing. he gazes at me with eyes filled with dreams and regret, searching for the answers in the stone that hold his anguish.
I stand here, frozen in time, carved from stone yet filled with a sorrow that runs deep. But he, the one who breathed life into my form, his tears falling like rain upon my surface. Each drop tells a story of his heartache, a reflection of the pain he carries within. I long to reach out, to comfort him, but I remain stilled, a silent witness to his struggles. The weight of his sorrow seeps into my being, and though I am made of stone, I feel the ache of his emotions resonate through me. In this stillness, I yearn for him to find peace, to see the beauty that still exists in the world, even as his tears continue to fall.

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.
