The Merger or the Grave. Akarat Group and Sutthi Corp have spent a decade trying to bleed each other dry. But when their shared benefactor a dying billionaire with his hand on their debt issues a final ultimatum, the war moves from the boardroom to a secluded glass estate. The terms are simple: successfully merge the empires in six months, or lose everything. The catch? Phin and Kavin must live, breathe, and work together in total isolation. No staff. No escapes. Just the "Untouchable" and the "Storm" trapped in a house where every wall is transparent. The Mask of Malice. For Phin, silence is a weapon and his three-piece suit is a shield against a world that raised him to be a machine. For Kavin, the merger is a chance to finally break the man he has spent ten years obsessing over. But as the forced proximity peels back their corporate veneers, the "hate" they nurtured since university is revealed for what it truly is: a starving, primal hunger that threatens to consume them both. The Price of Power. While Phin’s lawyer and Kavin’s brother conduct a frantic, secret affair in their shadows, a far more dangerous predator looms. Madam Wei, a puppet master with a vendetta, begins pulling the threads of Phin’s traumatic past to ensure the merger and the men shatter. As the lines between dominance and surrender blur, the two Alphas realize that winning the business means nothing if they lose the only person who understands the crushing weight of the crown. In a house of glass, there are no secrets and the truth might just be the most violent thing of all.

The most unlucky woman in the world vs The most mysterious man in the world. A piece of paper declaring a marriage alliance between two enemy families was not her business. Because she would never be picked as the bride anyway. Officer Tai Liwu's bad luck was not just broken heels, exploding cars or birds pooping on her head.

But when her sister has a panic attack before walking down the aisle, Tai Liwu is shoved into the bridal hall and told to smile. On the other side of the aisle, City Lord Shen Weijun was dealing with his own disaster: his twin brother, the intended groom had drugged him, put him in the grooms clothes and bolted! Forced to step in under a false identity, Weijun expects nothing more than a political farce. After all, their families are sworn enemies and this wedding is supposed to be a ceasefire, not a love story. But trouble brews when Weijun finds himself falling for the sharp-tongued police officer who can arrest a pickpocket with one hand and chase after her hat with the other. And yet, he is reminded all the time, that this is not his wife, but his brother's. And Liwu, her "bad luck" takes a twist when on her wedding night, she awakens a bad luck system!
