Keng Harit Buayoi has everything-wealth, influence, and a flawless career built on discipline and perfection. Known as the industry's cold prince, he keeps his emotions locked away, revealing nothing beyond professionalism and sharp precision. No one sees the boy he used to be in Chiang Rai, or the love he lost without warning.
Namping Napatsakorn Pingmuang, on the other hand, is still climbing his way up. A timid yet warm-hearted dreamer, he survives on small roles and modeling gigs while quietly working toward his breakthrough. When a viral clip suddenly puts him in the spotlight, he's offered the opportunity of a lifetime: a major project starring alongside Keng himself.
To Namping, it's simply a career milestone.
To Keng, it's the return of the person he never stopped loving.
Years ago, a misunderstanding, and a tragic accident tore them apart. Keng believed Namping walked away. Namping never even knew what he left behind. With his memories of that time gone, Keng is now nothing more than a distant, intimidating senior.
As filming begins, they are forced to stand under the same spotlight-one cold and controlled, the other careful and respectful. Keng hides the storm in his heart behind icy professionalism, while Namping remains unaware of the history written between them.
Surrounded by friends who know the truth and tensions that refuse to fade, the past lingers quietly between every line they deliver.
When love is remembered by only one heart, can it ever truly return?

Sweet Lies & Slow-Burning Desire
Keng, a powerful yet emotionally detached businessman, never believed in love. His life is built on control, contracts, and calculated risks-a world where money can solve anything, including loneliness. That's why when Namping, a struggling artist with nowhere to turn, stumbles into his life, Keng offers him a simple solution: a contract. A sugar arrangement. Namping gets financial security-no more worrying about rent, no more exhausting part-time jobs. In return, all he has to do is be by Keng's side when needed. Dinners, events, late-night conversations over fine wine... but no feelings. At least, that was the rule. But Namping is nothing like the people Keng has kept around before. He's unpredictable, too stubborn for his own good, too warm for Keng's cold world. He teases, he laughs, he softens the edges of Keng's carefully guarded heart. And Keng? He finds himself breaking his own rules. What was supposed to be a business arrangement turns into stolen glances, lingering touches, late-night confessions neither of them should be making. "You were supposed to be temporary." "Then why does it feel like I'm the only thing real in your life?" The closer they get, the more the lines blur. Keng tells himself it's just desire. That it's not love. That he could let go anytime. But when the contract ends, will he be able to?Complete

Weaving Our Destiny
"I do not care if you refuse to give me your heart. Your body, your mind, and your soul are mine. Every inch of you belongs to me. And I will never allow anyone to tear us apart. You are mine-now and even in death." - King Harit "Our paths crossed not because we were meant to be together, but because we were destined to stand as enemies. The memories we shared-let them be our final gift to each other, a farewell buried deep within the past, never to be uncovered. For you and I... we were never meant to remain side by side." - Prince Namping "There was never an us. From the very beginning, I only used your naivety to get what I wanted. You followed me blindly-like a lovesick dog led by foolishness. I used you... I never loved you.. And I will never love anyone from this cursed kingdom.." - Prince Kongjiro "I'll forgive you... I'll forget everything that has happened. Just tell me you felt something for me-even if it was only for a moment. Tell me that those memories we shared, when our hearts beat as one, were real. Just tell me... tell me that you loved me too.. just say it and I'll come running back to you. I'll be your faithful hound, forever bound." - Prince ThomasComplete
