They agreed on one rule: no falling in love.
Lingling likes control. Orm likes risk. Their chemistry is undeniable but emotions were never supposed to be part of the deal. What begins as a physical arrangement turns dangerously personal when jealousy creeps in and one confession changes everything.
Then ambition enters the room.
A career opportunity across the world forces them to choose between love and growth. Distance exposes every crack. Old fears resurface. And staying becomes harder than walking away.
But some love stories aren't about fate.
They're about decision.
No Half Measures is a deeply intimate, slow-burn sapphic romance about choosing each other through fear, distance, success, and the quiet work of building something permanent.

Vice Mission & Velvet Game { vice & velvet}
Lingling Kwong is like a wildfire-powerful, commanding, and the head of a criminal empire with legions under her control. She is older, sophisticated, and has a preference for women, though she has long since closed her heart to love and emotions. She brings Orm Kornnaphat into her world not for romance, but as a pawn in a ruthless game of revenge for her sister situation. Orm Kornnaphat is a spy with a kind heart. She has never been interested in women before, but she has a mission: infiltrate Lingling's inner circle as a secret assistant. Her goal is to get close enough to steal the key to a cage where her brother, Jim, and her fiancé are being held captive. When they finally meet, Lingling is already steps ahead. She knows Orm isn't just there for a mission-she's a target who has walked straight into the flames. What happens when water meets fire? To find out, read "Vice Mission & Velvet Game." Disclaimer ⚠️ This story contains mature, "dirty" themes and sexual intense, forceful power dynamics. It is dark and gritty. If you are under the age of 16, please do not read.Complete
LingOrm : " The Mechanical Wedding "
**The Mechanical Wedding** "They say silence is golden. In this house, silence is a weapon." To the world, it was the wedding of the century-a strategic alliance to save two empires. But behind the heavy oak doors of the Kwong penthouse, there is no celebration. There is only a girl who was sold and a woman who holds the receipt. Lingling Kwong is a master of the game. She moves people like chess pieces and keeps her heart under lock and key. She didn't want a wife; she wanted an asset. But the asset has a name-Orm Kornaphat-and a gaze that starts to thaw the ice Lingling has spent twenty-eight years building. The Mystery Lies Beneath: The Signature: The Shadow: The Price: As the truth begins to leak like poison through the floorboards, Orm realizes that she isn't just married to a stranger-she's trapped in a maze. And Lingling? She is either the architect of the maze... or the one desperately trying to find the exit before it burns them both alive. Two families. One secret. Zero survivors. "I didn't buy you to own you, Orm. I bought you so no one else could."
BEHIND THOSE EYES
Detective Inspector Lingling Kwong has spent her career chasing monsters. When a string of brutal murders begins appearing across Bangkok-each victim a criminal who escaped the justice system. Lingling is assigned to the case that is slowly turning the city upside down. While the public praises the mysterious vigilante killer, Lingling knows one thing: justice does not belong in the hands of a murderer. After a dangerous operation leaves her seriously injured, Lingling crosses paths with Dr. Orm Sethratanapong, the youngest and most brilliant surgeon at Prasert Hospital. Cold, composed, and impossible to read, Orm initially finds the cocky detective unbearable. Yet somehow, irritation turns into curiosity... and curiosity becomes something far more complicated. As the killings escalate and the investigation grows darker, Lingling and Orm find themselves drawn into the same dangerous question. In a city where the guilty keep walking free... what does justice really look like?
Death by Mistake (Lingorm)
Orm Kornnaphat was just looking for a normal job. After a string of embarrassing career failures, a flyer promising "easy data entry, high pay" sounded like destiny. Instead, she ends up with a burner phone, a cash-stuffed envelope, and a sniper rifle she can't even assemble without begging Google for help. She panics through every mission, trips over her own weapons, and googles things like "how to hide a body without crying." Yet somehow, the targets keep dropping and the money keeps rolling in. Enter Lingling Kwong: sharp, elegant, and lethal, with a reputation for perfection. The kind of woman Orm could never imagine noticing her-until their worlds collide in blood, bullets, and inconvenient attraction. Two assassins. One's a disaster. One's a legend. Neither knows the other's secret. Love has never been deadlier-or more ridiculous. Author's Note : This is a work of fanfiction created solely for entertainment purposes.

Guarded Hearts
Lingling Kwong has everything except what she wants. Orm Kornnaphat has everything to lose. Lingling is Bangkok's wildest heiress. Orm is her impossibly professional bodyguard. Two steps behind at every club, every gala, every moment-maintaining perfect distance. Until distance becomes impossible. A forbidden romance where falling in love could cost them everything.
At Cruising Altitude | LingOrm
On a late-night flight bound for Dubai, Lingling Kwong-heir to a family business and a woman practiced in restraint-meets Orm Sethratanapong, a flight attendant whose calm professionalism hides quiet depth. What begins as shared glances and careful boundaries unfolds across distance, reunion, and deliberate touch. This is a story about connection that grows not through urgency, but patience-and the kind of love that arrives only when both people choose it, fully and freely. No regular updates.
Shadows of Her
Lingling and Orm don't exist in the same social circles, until a chaotic birthday party throws them into the same corner. They are both quiet, guarded, and out-of-place-but they are the only two people in the room who get the same jokes. Their story is a slow burn that moves from shared laughter to hidden love, until a best friend's secret threatens to tear their private world apart. Sometimes, the connections you don't expect are the ones you can't survive without.Complete
