Chrisnah Shely Perez has it all—a loving family, a close-knit group of friends, and a life of privilege. Despite her perfect world, she's never been spoiled; instead, she's kind-hearted, beautiful, and true to herself. Chrisnah is a lesbian, content with her circle of friends, and has no interest in romantic relationships. But her peaceful world is turned upside down when she meets Michael Gabriel Dela Fuente, a charming and bubbly new student who is, unexpectedly, a gay guy. 

Michael’s difficult upbringing couldn’t be more different from Chrisnah’s. Raised by a single father after being abandoned by his mother, Michael’s life has been a struggle. Yet, he’s determined to rise above his past. Even though he's confident in his identity as a gay man, his encounters with Chrisnah start to stir something in him—something that challenges both of them.

As they grow closer, their bond deepens into an unexpected romance that defies expectations and social norms. But just when it seems like they’ve conquered every obstacle, fate throws them a devastating curveball. Michael has been secretly battling a congenital heart disease his entire life, and now, his health is rapidly deteriorating. Chrisnah clings to hope, pushing Michael towards a life-saving heart transplant. 

But will love and faith be enough to overcome this ultimate test? Can Chrisnah share the life-changing news she’s been holding back, or is it already too late for their happily ever after?

She's He. He's She.

I was living my best mermaid fantasy, dreaming of Prince Charmings and happily-ever-afters, until BAM! Fate decided to play a sick joke and threw me into the deep end… with a Tiboomboom (lesbian). Like, seriously?! Eeewww!!! 


Never in a million years did I think I’d fall for a lesbian. Like, come on, OMG! I’ve been searching for a dashing prince, not a girl trying to be one! Just, eewww, it’s a nightmare! 


But fate is twisted like that, isn’t it? Here I am, a certified girly-girl, falling head over heels for a girl with a man’s heart. 


Why her? Of all people, why did it have to be that crazy lesbian?! Like, duh, her twin brothers are way more my type—handsome, masculine, the whole deal. But nooo, my heart had to skip a beat for her instead. And now, here I am, a fabulous gay guy forced to play the role of a straight man for my tough-talking, ever-annoying lesbian princess. 


What choice do I have? Love is love, right? And damn it, I really do love her. 


So yeah, I’m Michael Gabriel Dela Fuente—Michaela Gabriela after dark—but thanks to one overly confident lesbian, I’m now a full-time ‘manly man.’ 


I’m a lesbian. A tomboy. The “that’s-my-girl-but-not-really” in my family. Sure, I’m the only daughter, but joke’s on them—I turned out to be the boy they didn’t expect. 


To be honest, I wasn’t always this hardcore lesbian. But with two older brothers who treat you like one of the guys, what do you expect? I grew up rough and tough, and it suited me just fine. My life was simple and chill, hanging out with my crew, living my tomboy dreams. 


That infuriating, loud-mouthed gay guy. Ever since he barged into my world, nothing’s been the same. It’s like he was sent from the heavens just to mess up my perfectly balanced life. 


At first, I hated him. No, scratch that—I loathed him. From the moment we met, it’s been a constant battle of wits and insults. The guy’s got a talent for getting on my last nerve. I swear, he could make a saint lose their patience. He’s too loud, too extra, and let’s not even start on his endless flirting. But deep down… you know what’s messed up? He’s actually kinda hot! Yeah, yeah, I know, but it’s true. Too bad he’s gay. 


But here’s the plot twist no one saw coming… not even me. 


I can’t believe it either. How does a lesbian like me end up crushing on a guy with a heart of glitter and rainbows? I’m supposed to have a heart of steel, a man’s heart! So why am I falling for someone with a woman’s soul? 


It’s ridiculous, absurd, and totally embarrassing. I tried fighting it, but my heart? It’s stubborn as hell. It wants him, despite everything. 


Before I knew it, I started changing—for him. I turned myself into a version of me I barely recognized. I became… a princess. Ugh, I hate that so much. 


I’m Chrisnah Shelyn Perez, the lesbian of the Perez family, and the cruel irony of my life? I fell for a mermaid. 


As their worlds collide in an unexpected romance that challenges everything they thought they knew about themselves, Chrisnah and Michael face the biggest challenge yet. Can love truly conquer the boundaries society sets—or are they doomed to sink in the depths of their own conflicting desires? 


But before either of them can figure it out, fate throws one last wrench in their story—a truth neither of them saw coming.
