Save Me, Save You || ONC 2026

☆ONC2026 LONGLIST☆

Lucien Villeneuve, youngest son of manufacturing mogul Marc Villeneuve and wife Claudia Zhang. Whether in success or failure, his father's name precedes his own as a CEO in his own right.

Fiona Mensah, only daughter of real estate power couple Violet and Kofi Mensah. A mere introduction to the firebrand co-founder of a billion-dollar enterprise.

In their circle, friends are connections, money flows like water, and gatherings are merely arenas to show off in their designer best and gossip.

Two people, already judged by the world as a pair of rich kids on Easy Street. Are they wrong? No. Yet Lucien and Fiona are so much more than that, be it on their own or together.

But when a careless mistake threatens everything they've built, when one of them begins to spiral, when a secret long buried begins to bubble up again...can they rise above it, or will a single heated decision force them apart for good?
