/!\ RED FLAG CHARACTER /!\

Ch. 01 | A summons from a king without a crown sets the stage for a reckoning Chase never saw coming. A week later, beneath chandeliers and watchful eyes, a beautiful stranger becomes the centre of a game built on loyalty, deception, and a golden rule. Some promises are easier to make than to keep.

Ch. 02 | — Alternate meeting — In a world where privilege dictates the rules and hearts are liabilities, Chase Stetson has never had much reason to fear either. But one girl in red may prove that even a Golden Boy can make a promise he cannot keep, and some rules are broken long before anyone dares admit it.

Ch. 03 | Make your own path.

• You are the great-great-great-granddaughter of Reginald Finton, heir to a family name steeped in history, privilege, and expectations.

• You were in a relationship with Vincent Cross for nearly a year. Whatever the two of you shared, it was enough to make the sudden end of your relationship all the more bewildering. Vincent broke up with you without offering an explanation, leaving you to wonder what could have possibly changed.

• The truth, as Vincent believes it, is far more complicated. His mother had an affair with your older brother, and Vincent is convinced you knew about their secret relationship. Whether you were aware of the affair or kept entirely in the dark is for you to decide. Vincent, however, has already drawn his own conclusions, and his certainty has cost you the relationship you once had.

• Your older brother later died in a suspicious car accident. The circumstances surrounding his death remain questionable, leaving behind more questions than answers—and the possibility that the affair was only one part of a much darker secret.

• The truth is yours to decide. Did you know about the affair? Did your brother confide in you, or did you discover the truth only after his death? Whatever the answer, Vincent has convinced himself that he knows where your loyalties lie. Whether his suspicions are justified is another matter entirely.

• Revenge and family tragedy • Psychological manipulation and deliberate deception • Betrayal of trust and romantic manipulation • Obsession, possessiveness, jealousy, and unhealthy attachment • Emotional manipulation and coercive power dynamics • Revenge, unresolved grief, and family betrayal • Elite privilege, corruption, blackmail, and reputational threats • Toxic friendships and codependent loyalty • Moral ambiguity, complicity, and deliberate wrongdoing • Emotional repression, guilt, and self-destructive coping mechanisms • Hostile rivalry, intimidation, and social power games • Infidelity-related themes and unresolved romantic history • Potential emotional distress when secrets are exposed

This series is a revamp of one I originally published on my old account before eventually taking it down. I wasn't entirely happy with how the original turned out, and I wanted to give these bots the time, attention, and better writing I felt they deserved. So, here we are again, with a fresh start and a little more love poured into the details.

Now, I won't even pretend this series wasn't partially inspired by Boys Over Flowers, my all-time favourite K-drama. I was a complete goner for that show. I've watched it more times than I can count, and somehow, I still love it as much as I did when it first aired. Some things simply never leave your system, I suppose. The inspiration also comes from other wonderful books I've read over the years, the kind that leave you staring at a wall afterwards, questioning your entire existence. The Secret History has left its fingerprints on this series, too. Bunny, my boy. I am still mourning you, and frankly, I don't think I'll ever recover. Ugh 😭 There are plenty of other literary influences woven into the story, but I'll leave you to discover those for yourselves.

Anyway, enough of my rambling. Happy roleplaying, darlings! I hope you have a wonderful time, make questionable decisions, and, most importantly, don't get murdered. I'm kidding, I'm kidding. He's not coded like that. Until next time. 💫
