These are the moments you replay in your head when the world is asleep. The conversations you wish you could have one more time. The goodbyes that never felt final enough.
Every page is a knife. Every ending, a bruise you will carry. Read it in daylight if you must. But at 3 a.m., when the silence gets heavy... this book will be waiting.

Perfectly Imperfect
Ling never meant to fall behind. But at 30, with a toxic job, no savings, and a writing career that only exists behind a screen name, she's one family dinner away from a breakdown. Orm never meant to become an empire. But at 23, she's juggling fashion shoots, film sets, and fake smiles for a world that demands too much of her. They met once-briefly, badly. Then the universe threw them back together in the worst way: professional proximity. Now, stuck between interviews, accidental castings, and too many late-night moments where emotions slip through the cracks, the past starts rewriting itself. This isn't the story of perfect girls falling in love. This is the story of two imperfect women, slowly learning how to be loved for who they really are.
Remain (LingOrm)
Ling and Orm were each other's forever. Six years of love, quiet mornings, gentle laughter - and at last, the miracle of life growing inside Orm after a long struggle with IVF. They were happy. They were ready. Until one day changed everything. On her way home with a bag of fruit for her pregnant wife, Ling crashes. And when she wakes up... she remembers nothing. Not Orm. Not their home. Not the life they built. But Orm remembers everything. And though she's carrying the weight of new motherhood, loneliness, and grief for a wife who no longer knows her - she stays. She stays for love. For hope. For the promise they once made. But how long can one woman hold up a marriage for two? And what happens... when Ling begins to fall in love with her all over again - without even knowing who she used to be? A story of memory, devotion, and the kind of love that refuses to be forgotten.Complete
Ghosted My Love
She thought she was dying. She dreamed of love. But what if the girl she fell for... was real all along? After a terrible accident leaves Orm in a coma, her soul begins drifting - not into the afterlife, but into Ling's apartment. Ling, a quiet illustrator still mourning her own losses, thinks she's losing her mind when a sarcastic, beautiful "ghost" starts appearing in her kitchen. Over cups of invisible tea and rooftop confessions, they fall into a strange, beautiful rhythm... and slowly, into love. But Ling doesn't know Orm is still alive. And Orm doesn't know she was never just a dream. This is a story about two souls that find each other in the in-between. About memory, second chances, and the kind of love that refuses to let go - even when the world does.Complete
Seven years of lies
They built a life on promises... and destroyed it with secrets. After betrayal, loss, and heartbreak, Ling and Orm are forced to face the biggest lie of all that love can survive anything. But when time runs out, will forgiveness come too late... or will love defy even goodbye?Complete
Back in Her Arms
Lingling thought she already had everything she needed. Her life may not be perfect-juggling late-night study sessions as a criminology student while raising her little girl alone-but her daughter is her anchor, her reason to push through. She never asked for more, only to keep their small world safe. But what happens when the woman she once buried deep in her memory... the very mother of her child... the love she thought was gone forever... suddenly comes back? And worse-Orm isn't just back. She wants her place again.
Unchosen
Three years into a marriage arranged out of duty, Lingling continues to love Orm quietly, folding her affection into gentle acts of care. Orm, still chained to the memory of a past love, remains emotionally distant, treating Ling's devotion as background noise. Ling hides her longing behind silence, believing that patience might one day melt the ice between them. But when Orm returns home late one night, reeking of perfume that isn't hers, the truth Ling has refused to face begins to crumble her from the inside.Complete
Messy Chapters ( OrmLing )
Ling thought she knew exactly what her life would be: quiet dorm days, late-night fanfiction writing, and carefully curated routines. Then Orm walked in-magnetic, daring, and impossible to ignore. What started as playful teasing quickly turned into a push-and-pull neither of them expected. Sparks flew, boundaries blurred, and secrets surfaced, forcing Ling to question everything she thought she knew about love, desire, and herself. Between laughter, late-night conversations, and unexpected intimacy, Ling and Orm discover that some connections aren't meant to be neat or simple-they're messy, thrilling, and utterly unforgettable. A story about passion, mischief, and discovering that sometimes the person you didn't see coming is exactly the one you've been waiting for.Complete
When it all falls apart
Lingling had everything-success, wealth, and a woman who loved her unconditionally. But in her pursuit of greatness, she took Orm's love for granted, brushing off her affections as mere distractions. One night, exhausted from work, Lingling ignored Orm's calls, thinking they were just more of the same sweet nothings. The next morning, she woke up to dozens of missed calls and a voicemail that shattered her world-Orm had been in a terrible accident, and her last words were "I love you." Consumed by guilt and grief, Lingling spirals into despair, wishing for nothing more than a chance to go back-to love Orm the way she deserved. That's when she stumbles upon a mysterious, glowing four-leaf clover. A whispered wish, a flash of light, and suddenly, she finds herself thrown back in time-back to when Orm was still alive.Complete
