Oukamachi No Dandelion

No small lives

Even seemingly quiet lives hold deep, dramatic stories Adelani has always been the kind of woman people overlook-a quiet, conservative church girl, dutiful and measured. But beneath her composed exterior lies a woman shaped by displacement, heartbreak, and a hidden wild streak she dares not name. After years of moving between cities in Nigeria, she has finally settled in Norwich, UK, where she is still finding her footing. Yet, home is a slippery thing when you carry the weight of expectation on your shoulders. When her paths crossed again with Alexander an older, professor from her time in university - her world tilts. He is unlike anyone she expected to love, and their attraction is immediate, undeniable. But love is never simple, especially when ghosts of the past refuse to be buried. A familiar name reappears-Dayo, the Nigerian ex who once shattered her trust. And with it, a triangle of longing, loyalty, and unresolved history begins to take shape. As Adelani navigates love, family, and the cultural pressures of being a Nigerian woman who dares to want something different, she harbors a truth that defies expectation: she does not want children. It is a choice that shocks those around her-a quiet rebellion against tradition, against the life that was supposed to be hers. But the past has its own way of creeping back, and when a secret side of her life comes to light, everything she has carefully built is at risk of unraveling. Bold yet intimate, *No Small Lives* is a deeply personal exploration of identity, love, and the quiet revolutions that shape us. Because even the quietest lives carry storms within them-and no life is ever truly small.

DANDELIONs

In a world where everyone around her shines, **Lily Williams** has always been the invisible one. The middle child in a family of extraordinary talents—her father, a renowned artist; her mother, a celebrated actress; and her sisters, a prodigy pianist and a rising supermodel—Lily feels like a dandelion in a garden of roses: ordinary, overlooked, and easily forgotten. But beneath her unassuming exterior lies a sharp mind and a quiet strength, honed by years of blending into the background and observing the secrets others try to hide. **Eden Blackwood** is the man who has it all. Born into a family of bankers, he broke away to build his own tech empire, determined to prove he’s more than just a “rich boy.” Handsome, successful, and perpetually in the spotlight, Eden is the epitome of charm—but his playboy persona hides a deeper truth. For six years, he’s been in a secret relationship with Lily’s sister, Clara, a decision made to protect her career but one that has left him questioning what he truly wants. When a scandalous misunderstanding forces Eden and Lily into a marriage neither of them wants, their lives are turned upside down. Lily, tired of being overlooked, begins to step out of the shadows, unaware that her newfound confidence will set off a chain of events that will change everything. Eden, torn between his loyalty to Clara and his growing curiosity about Lily, finds himself drawn to the woman he once dismissed as ordinary.

It’s about finding beauty in the ordinary, strength in vulnerability, and the courage to bloom where you’re planted—even when the world tries to overlook you. **Tone & Style:** - **Emotional**: Deeply character-driven, with a focus on internal struggles and growth. - **Dramatic**: High-stakes conflicts, misunderstandings, and betrayals. - **Romantic**: A slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance with plenty of tension
