Orm Kornnaphat isn't supposed to be a pop star. She's supposed to be preparing to take over Sethachon Co., Ltd., following the path her father has set-higher education abroad, a master's degree, and then stepping into the family business. But Orm has other plans.
"Just one single," she begs.
That single changes everything.
She pours herself into it-writing the lyrics, directing the music video, making sure every detail is hers. When it's released, the world takes notice. The song becomes a phenomenon, and overnight, she isn't just the heir to a powerful corporation. She's Orm Kornnaphat, Thailand's biggest young star.
Fame is thrilling, but it comes with a cost-endless scrutiny, obsessed fans, and the constant threat of danger. Her father doesn't take risks. He hires protection.
Enter Ling Ling Kwong.
Ling has spent years proving herself in the private security industry. She isn't just the heir to Kwong Securities-she's one of the best, combining business expertise with years of combat training. When her father assigns her to guard a pop star, she expects a spoiled client. She doesn't expect to recognize her.
Because once upon a time, a little girl with big, teary eyes had clung to her, declaring, I want to marry you.
Orm doesn't seem to remember. But Ling does.
And as they're forced into each other's orbit, balancing fame, duty, and a past that refuses to stay buried, Ling starts to wonder-was she always meant to be the one keeping Orm safe? And if so, who will protect her from Orm?
After two years of secretly being together, at the peak of their careers, Ling and Orm decided to pause their relationship, promising to pick things up when circumstances were more favourable. Ling moved to Hong Kong for a job that was supposed to keep her away from Thailand for six months. But when she returned, seven years had passed, and their lives had changed in ways they could have never imagined.
Do they still care for one other? Will they find their way back?
