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?

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

Classroom Vows
What happens when your terror professor is actually your... fiancé? Orm Kornnaphat Sethranapong, young, brilliant, and the most promising professor at one of the country's most prestigious universities. She's feared for her perfectionist standards, admired for her intelligence, and pursued by many of the brightest minds her age. She's untouchable. Unshakable. Unreachable. Or so everyone thinks. Because behind her strict façade lies a secret: She's bound by an arrangement no one must ever know-an arranged marriage to one of her own students. Lingling Kwong, a third-year college student, is the school's beloved gem-elegant, kind, and gifted with a voice that could melt anyone's heart. She's the complete opposite of Orm's cold and exacting nature. They're not supposed to look at each other a second too long. Not supposed to touch. Not supposed to want. But how long can they keep pretending when every lecture, every glance, every accidental brush of their hands feel like crossing the line? In a world where rules and reputations mean everything, how do you hide a bond that was never supposed to exist? And what happens when the line between duty and desire begins to blur-inside the classroom and beyond?

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.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.

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?
