Names Worth Knowing (PondPhuwin)

In a world shaped by powerful families, political alliances, and conglomerates that function like dynasties, inheritance is not simply a matter of wealth, but succession.

Pond Naravit has never had to ask twice.
As heir to Thailand's most powerful conglomerate, his future has already been mapped out for him: graduate, survive succession, inherit the empire, and build the network that will carry into the next generation.

Then his graduation is threatened.
The direct line to succession is suddenly hanging in the balance, and the only thing standing between Pond and his future is the one man he cannot intimidate; the Dean.

The key to the Dean is sitting quietly in a photograph on his desk.

Phuwin Tang
A brilliant, private university student who wants nothing to do with his father's world; or the people who inhabit it.
Pond approaches the Dean with a plan. Phuwin doesn't know he is part of it.

What begins as calculated proximity soon becomes an intertwining reality of unintended consequences, and a chain of decisions made too far ahead of their time.

And when power, ambition, and genuine affection begin occupying the same space, will either of them will walk away untouched?

Hello Everyone ♡

This one has been sitting in my head for a while, and I'm finally letting it out.

This is an AU with its own little ecosystem of old money, powerful families, succession politics, universities, and people who have been raised knowing exactly where they belong. I love worldbuilding and this one excites me whenever i step into this world.

It's also, at its heart, a story about two people who were never supposed to meet under these circumstances.

I hope you enjoy meeting them as much as I enjoyed building their world.

Happy reading. ♡
