Heartbreak and New Desires
The neon lights of the bar blurred into streaks of gold and red as Orm stumbled toward the exit. Her heart felt like it had been shredded; seeing Ryu, her boyfriend, in bed with his secretary had shattered her. He had claimed he only sought someone else because Orm wasn't "giving him what he needed," but that excuse didn't dull the sting of betrayal.
Always You. Unfortunately | LINGORM
Ling finally tried committing to something other than her career, the gym routine and a rotating roster of flings. She proposed. Her girlfriend laughed. Apparently, Ling's "I'm not a relationship person" reputation is harder to shake than she thought. Especially when her *actual* longest relationship is with her best friend, Orm, and the tiny child who bosses her around and claims "she's ours."

Silent Vows (OrmLing)
To the entertainment industry and a massive, obsessed global fanbase, Orm Sethratanapong and Ling Kwong are the ultimate rivals. As the two most famous rising actresses and models of their generation, they constantly compete for the same luxury brand endorsements, blockbuster movie roles, and magazine covers. In public, they act like complete strangers, exchanging nothing more than polite, frosty nods for the cameras. Their fiercely protective managers-Emar, Orm's sharp-tongued manager, and Zandi, Ling's brilliant, fiercely loyal manager-constantly battle behind the scenes to secure the top spot for their respective stars, entirely unaware of the truth. Behind closed doors, a completely different reality exists. Bound by a strict arranged marriage orchestrated by their prominent families, twenty-seven-year-old Orm and thirty-year-old Ling are legally wed. Once the studio lights go dark, the red carpets are rolled up, and they escape their managers' watchful eyes, they return to a shared home where their public hostility completely dissolves. What started as an unwanted obligation has ignited into a deeply intense, secret relationship filled with raw, explicit passion and unyielding desire. Navigating the high-stakes pressure of sudden mega-fame by day and the complex intimacy of their hidden marriage by night, the lines between their manufactured rivalry and real possession begin to blur dangerously. In a world where every move is watched, keeping their vows a secret becomes a brutal test of control, jealousy, and a love they can no longer deny.Complete

She promises herself she will remain cold, indifferent, and ruthless. But secrets have a way of unraveling, a hidden pregnancy changes the stakes, and the line between burning hate and consuming love begins to blur.

Admission: You
Lingling Kwong is an infamous heart surgeon - dominant, flirtatious, and used to getting exactly what she wants. But the new dermatologist at the hospital, Orm Sethratanapong, doesn't fall for her charm, apparently. Disclaimer: This is nothing serious-just a story I started plotting during one of my many visits to the ER. I write it during my train rides to work, mostly to pass time and pretend I'm being productive (when I am not asleep, of course). Please adjust expectations accordingly 🫡🚆💉
Legally Screwed | LingOrm
Orm Sethratanapong-spoiled, sassy, and utterly unapologetic-finds herself at the center of a public scandal after an outrageous, champagne-fueled catfight at a rooftop bar. To contain the damage, her family hires Bangkok's top lawyer, Lingling Kwong-a cold, razor-sharp professional who just wants to clean up the mess and move on. But what happens when the fixer becomes the problem? Just a heads up! This story might include some steamy moments or mature themes (👹). Nothing too wild, but read at your own discretion!Complete

On a late-night flight bound for Dubai, Lingling Kwong-heir to a family business and a woman accustomed to getting what she wants-meets Orm Sethratanapong, a flight attendant whose easy affection and quiet emotional honesty become impossible to ignore. What begins as shared glances and careful boundaries slowly unfolds into something quieter, deeper: a love shaped by distance, shifting schedules, airport reunions, and the strange intimacy of building a life together while both are constantly in motion. Because sometimes, even people who live in the air eventually find somewhere-and someone-that feels like home.Complete

Bound by Ink (LingOrm)
LingLing Sirilak Kwong has built her empire on logic, control, and the systematic elimination of unpredictable variables. Emotions are weaknesses to be exploited in others, never experienced herself. Physical contact is violation. Spontaneity is chaos. For decades, this formula has never failed her. Then comes the contract, the one that ties her hands. She can lead and dominate boards meeting but what she cannot calculate is Orm Sethratanapong Kornnaphat, a woman who operates on pure instinct, who makes decisions with her heart instead of spreadsheets, who treats their wedding like a gift instead of a prison sentence. Logic versus heart. Ice versus fire. A woman who has never felt versus a woman who feels everything. In this game of opposites, someone's walls will crumble. The question is: will Ling's brilliant mind find the loophole that sets her free, or will Orm's fearless heart breach defenses that have never been broken? Some equations have no solution. Some hearts have no armor. The wedding was just the beginning.Complete
