She has always been the quiet one-the shadow in a house that worships perfection. Compared to her golden sister, she is invisible: the overlooked, the underestimated, the girl who smiles when she wants to scream. Life has forced her to survive, to hide her heart, and to watch as the world demands more than she feels capable of giving.
But survival isn't just endurance-it's quiet strength, hidden power, and the courage to claim her own story. From the confines of a home filled with impossible expectations to the first sparks of love and rebellion in a world outside, she learns that the past can be burned away... and that freedom begins with a single, defiant choice.

A life that gleams on the outside, yet crumbles in silence within. She's always telling herself that she's fine being alone--because she's Fleurynne Hyena Silvaria Laurier, and she's capable of protecting her own heart. She built walls around it, convinced that no one could ever break them. But why... why does it still ache for love? Why does she yearn for someone who can truly see her, without a single word? Someone who understands the feelings she cannot even whisper aloud. She hopes that 'someone'... will someday be her dad, or at least... the love of her life.
When Love Wasn't in My Plan

But then came the senior who showered her with attention, making her believe she was seen at last... until she realized she was only chasing an illusion. Just when she thought she was done with love forever, an unexpected presence stepped quietly into her life-a high school senior who had been watching from afar, who reached out not with promises but with comfort. Slowly, her carefully written plan began to blur, and she was forced to face the one thing she feared most: that sometimes, love finds you when you least want it... and when you need it the most.
