Orm Kornnaphat, 24, is a quiet, bookish student at one of Bangkok's most prestigious universities. Raised in the shadow of wealth and expectation as the only daughter of powerful tycoons Emily and Hector Kornnaphat, Orm has always preferred solitude to social scenes. Her only friend is P'Gina, an upperclassman who keeps her grounded and gently encourages her to open up.
But Orm's world turns upside down when she gets stuck in an elevator with Lingling Kwong-a striking, half-Chinese, half-Thai celebrity broadcaster known for her elegance and magnetic aura. Linling is on campus for a high-profile interview with the university's administration, but for a fleeting moment, she's just a woman in a confined space with a girl who's never felt seen.
In that quiet, breathless moment, something awakens in Orm. A spark. A need. Maybe even love.
After that day, Orm can't stop thinking about her. Her curiosity grows into obsession. She watches every video, tracks every appearance, notes every detail. The more she learns, the more she wants-needs-to be close.
But the deeper she digs, the more she uncovers something...off.
Fragments of Lingling's past don't add up-details that don't match, stories that feel too perfect. A slip in an old interview. A face blurred out in a photo. Places she avoids. Names she won't say.
Orm starts connecting dots no one else noticed. And what she finds isn't just shocking-it's a secret Linling has buried for years, a past she's run from, rewritten, and locked away.
As Orm falls further under her spell, she's torn between the love she feels and the darkness she uncovers. What happens when the one you idolize turns out to be someone you shouldn't trust?
And what happens when she realizes you know?

TASTE.
Orm Kornnapath was used to the relentless hustle of Bangkok. By day, she waited tables at a bustling street-side eatery, dodging impatient customers and her grumpy boss. By night, she cleaned offices in towering glass buildings, sweeping floors that would never belong to people like her. No matter how hard she worked, the money never stretched far enough. Lingling Kwong, on the other hand, lived in a world of flashing cameras and red carpets. A celebrated actress across Asia, she had wealth, fame, and millions of admirers. Yet, behind the glittering mask, loneliness gnawed at her. She had spent years hiding her true self, bound by the industry's expectations and a fear she couldn't shake. One fateful evening, their worlds collided-quite literally. Amidst the honking of Bangkok's chaotic traffic, Orm, exhausted and distracted, stumbled straight into Lingling's path. A spilled coffee, a broken designer bag, and a string of frustrated apologies later, their lives became entangled in ways neither could have predicted. Orm, who never imagined crossing paths with a celebrity, found herself drawn into Lingling's carefully guarded world. And Lingling, accustomed to scripted romance and staged affection, felt something real for the first time. But love between them wouldn't come easy. Between societal pressures, personal struggles, and the undeniable gap between their worlds, they had to decide-was this love worth fighting for?Complete
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
Oh My Ghost! (LingOrm)
Lingling Kwong just wants to graduate, survive her half-time jobs, and not completely lose her mind writing her final thesis. Easier said than done when you're broke, burnt out, and living off instant noodles in a creaky old apartment your parents are barely managing to pay for back in Hong Kong. Her thesis topic? The mysterious death of Orm Kornnaphat-a beautiful, kind-hearted woman whose case was left unsolved and buried in silence. Ling expected late-night research, maybe some spooky vibes at worst. What she didn't expect? Seeing Orm. Like, actually seeing her. Blonde hair. Soft smile. Floating three inches off the ground. Oh, and haunting her apartment. As Ling digs deeper into the past, Orm sticks around-clingy, chaotic, and way too attractive for someone who's technically dead. From flickering lights to flying cutlery to accidental ghost cuddles, the line between fear and affection starts to blur. But falling for a ghost comes with more than just spectral kisses and phantom puns. If Ling doesn't solve the mystery of Orm's death, the girl she's falling for might be trapped forever. Fun. Scary. Chaotic. One's alive. One's dead. And somehow, they might just be each other's unfinished business.Complete

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

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

I will try to update every week.. :) Prologue In a world divided by wealth and status, Ling Ling Kwong and Orm Kornnaphat were never meant to stand on equal ground. Ling, the privileged heiress of the powerful Kwong family, was raised in luxury, accustomed to getting whatever she desired. Orm, the daughter of a loyal servant, lived in the shadows of Ling's world, bound by duty and quiet submission. Despite sharing the same house and attending the same elite school, they were nothing alike. Ling saw Orm as nothing more than an unwelcome presence, a constant reminder of the divide between them.

But when a fateful decision binds them together in an unbreakable contract-an arranged marriage neither of them wants-resentment and buried emotions begin to surface.Complete
