The Courtier Under Her Skirt

Born in a casino and orphaned young, Daian forged a heart of steel in the ruthless underworld. For years, she bided her time, nurturing a singular obsession: revenge against the Chan family, Thailand's untouchable criminal dynasty. At adulthood’s threshold, she ventures alone into their den. Fate gifted her beauty, and she wields it like a blade. At a solemn funeral in a sacred temple, she deliberately catches the eye of Angwei, the Chan family's cold-blooded heir. Winning his favor is merely a step toward her endgame. In a moment of deep intimacy, his voice rumbles against her ear: "Your body belongs only to me. If you ever betray me, I will kill you myself." Her body stiffens for half a heartbeat. Later, when the time comes to leave him, she uses the gun assembly skills he taught her. Her aim is steady, the barrel pointed at his heart – one second faster than him. Angwei grabs her hand, forcing the gun deeper against his chest. An inscrutable smile touches his eyes. "Good." They stand locked in a silent duel, all former tenderness vanished. Finally, he demands, voice thick with gravel, "Tell me the truth. Did you ever love me?" She stares into the fierce cruelty shadowing his face – a cruelty tinged with disappointment. She refuses to answer. Her fingers tremble. He wrenches the barrel from her grip, swinging it to aim at another man. His obsidian eyes are fathomless, his voice lethally soft: "Then let me ask differently. Did you sleep with him?" Loving you... was walking willingly into your own trap.

BREAKING THROUGH HIS WALLS

Breaking Through His Walls –Synopsis Lena Marks never expected her life to be turned upside down by a man who seemingly had it all: wealth, power, and the kind of control over his emotions that made him nearly impossible to read. But when fate brings her face-to-face with Ethan O'Martin—brooding billionaire CEO and master of emotional distance—she’s thrust into a world where love is nothing more than a facade and vulnerability is a weakness. Their encounter begins in the most unexpected of places: the sterile, cold halls of a hospital. Lena, an ambitious psychology student with a deep understanding of the human psyche, couldn’t have predicted that her brother’s emergency would lead her into the orbit of Ethan, a man who hides his secrets behind carefully constructed walls. But the chemistry between them is undeniable, even if it’s one-sided—or so she thinks. What starts as a simple, seemingly insignificant contract—marry me to protect my image—soon turns into a battle of wills and emotions. Ethan’s icy exterior is impossible to ignore, but as Lena spends more time with him, she begins to see the cracks in his armor. Yet, her heart knows better than to fall for a man who can’t love her back. But as they navigate their fake marriage, a strange and undeniable bond grows between them, leaving Lena torn between her desire for independence and the intoxicating pull of a man who may never let her truly inside. As the fake marriage deepens, Lena finds herself caught between Ethan and two other men who challenge her perception of love and loyalty. A charming and insightful lecturer, who sees beneath her reserved exterior, becomes an unexpected source of support. And then there's a powerful business partner of Ethan’s, who knows the truth about their arrangement and offers Lena the kind of freedom she’s always craved. But Ethan’s indifference to her growing attraction to other men is nothing but a carefully controlled act. When jealousy starts to seep into his every interaction with Lena, the game changes—he might be more affected than he lets on. But Ethan’s past is a dark shadow that looms over everything they build. His first love—someone who left an indelible scar—returns to complicate things, forcing Ethan to confront the demons he’s buried deep within. And as Lena’s heart beats louder with every passing day, she wonders if she’s just another fleeting moment in Ethan’s emotionally fragmented world. Christian, Ethan’s loyal friend and emotional anchor, tries to guide both of them through the chaos, but the walls between Lena and Ethan only seem to grow higher. With each passing day, they inch closer to a breaking point. Will the truth of Ethan’s feelings finally emerge from the dark corners of his heart, or will his past destroy any chance they have at happiness? Lena’s journey is as much about self-discovery as it is about love. With her own walls built over years of emotional baggage, she must decide whether to risk everything on a man who can’t seem to let anyone in. As their relationship teeters on the edge of passion and heartbreak, both must decide if they are willing to break through their walls—before it’s too late. Breaking Through His Walls is a breathtaking exploration of love’s complexity, the walls we build to protect ourselves, and the vulnerability we must embrace to truly heal. Will Lena and Ethan’s relationship survive the tests of trust, jealousy, and painful pasts? Or will they be forced to walk away from a love they never saw coming? ---
