A powerful vampire hiding behind the quiet life of a university student, she's spent 112 years resisting the one thing she was born to crave-human blood.

Spoiled, fearless, and Ravenmoor University's untouchable queen, Miu has never been afraid of getting what she wants. And when a mysterious transfer student catches her attention, she decides Lena will be her next obsession. But Lena has a problem. Miu's blood is unlike anything she's ever encountered. Sweet, intoxicating, and dangerously irresistible. Lena wants to taste her, to consume her. Miu thinks it's her irresistible charm that catches the transfer students interest. And somewhere between hunger and desire, neither realizes that some temptations are meant to destroy you. After all, even paradise has its forbidden fruit.

Miu Natsha has had a secret crush on Lalina for years. She is her older brother's best friend-the charming, mischievous young woman who first entered her life when she was thirteen. To Lalina, Miu is simply a little girl who likes to follow her around. But to Miu, she becomes the first person to make her heart flutter. Years later, after they lose touch, fate brings them together again. Miu is no longer the young girl she remembers, and the feelings Miu once tried to hide have quietly grown into something deeper. As they spend more time together, the distance between them begins to disappear. What started as a secret crush slowly becomes a love neither of them can ignore. Some feelings are meant to be a secret, but some are simply impossible to hide.

Sequel to Teach Me. Seventeen lessons. One wife with a secret plan. Can Lena learn how to lose control... again?

To a ruthless TCM Co. Ltd. heiress like Miu, who handles human lives like calculated transactions, a compliant toy like Lena was supposed to be nothing more than a passing amusement. But the game changes when the leash becomes an anchor. What began as casual ownership morphs into a suffocating, obsessive possessiveness, leaving a cold-blooded billionaire completely trapped by the very devotion she bought. Miu always gets what she wants, but what happens when the one she desires is entirely willing to burn herself to ashes just to keep her warm?

Lena builds spaces for people to heal in. Miu spends her life saving those who are already broken. When a luxury medical complex project in Manila forces them to work together, neither of them is thrilled about it. Lena thinks Miu is cold, arrogant, and impossible to read. Miu thinks Lena is reckless, stubborn, and far too emotional for someone responsible for a billion-peso project. Unfortunately, they're stuck with each other. What begins as professional rivalry slowly turns into late nights, shared silences, and a growing awareness neither of them knows how to handle. Because the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore what's happening between them. And for Lena, that's terrifying. She's spent years protecting a secret that has shaped the way she sees trust, intimacy, and love. A secret she's certain will make Miu walk away if she ever finds out. But some people have a way of getting past carefully built walls. And some feelings refuse to stay professional. A slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance about architecture, medicine, fear, healing, and the courage it takes to be truly seen. ------- Architect × Trauma Doctor
