Xue Ning's entire family died in battle. She grew up in the Marquis of Xuanyi's household and deeply adored Su Zhan, the heir who had grown up with her since childhood. With a cup of spring wine laced with something extra, she fulfilled her wish and became his wife. Later, Su Zhan rose to become the all-powerful Grand Secretary. The two of them appeared respectful and harmonious, and were once considered one of the rare love stories in the capital. Everyone said that she, an orphaned girl, was blessed to marry such a man. Only she knew how many lonely, silent nights she endured alone. He had a "white moonlight" he loved but could never obtain-and he had never loved her. Because she had once offered herself to him, he despised her. So he sent her away to an old country estate for five years. She sent letter after letter back to the capital, but none were ever answered. Helpless and alone, she was eventually burned alive in a fire set by others, dying with hatred in her heart. ... After being reborn, the first thing Xue Ning did was overturn the cup of spring wine that had originally been prepared for Su Zhan. Then, she carefully chose a fiancé for herself. At a family banquet, with relatives gathered, Xue Ning walked up to Su Zhan, her arm hooked around her fiancé's. "Grand Secretary, this is my fiancé. Please look after him in the future." The always cold and restrained Grand Secretary instead began to crumble, his eyes red: "Xue Ning... I was the one who knew you first!" *Original Translation* ©All Rights reserved

Prologue: The shehnai played mournfully in the courtyard as monsoon rain drummed softly against the palace domes. Maharaja Aditya Singh Rathore stood still in his gold-embroidered angarkha, staring at the cradle before him. The newborn's cries filled the room, but all he could hear was the silence of the woman who had once been his anchor. Queen Meera, his childhood friend, his first love, had taken her last breath just hours ago, her hand slipping from his grip as she brought their daughter into the world. A month later, Aditya sat on the ivory throne, his crown heavy not with gold, but with grief. The court whispered: "The king is only twenty-nine... how long before he marries again?" But Aditya had no appetite for another marriage. His world now was his infant daughter, Rajkumari Anaya, and the endless duties of the crown.

"Because I'm no one..." I answered to the beautiful girl before me as she angered face ruined her cute facial. Compare to her I was only a mere duckling and she's the beautiful swan. I heard footsteps from afar as the girl before I turned a 360° degree turn of character. To the dark flaming eyes, pitiful crystal tears covered her eyes as her whole body shivered like a bunny. By then, 7 handsomely dashing boys came to watch the situation or more like a misunderstanding. 'Will I get a bad reputation and be thrown from the academy after this?' Nah! With my amazingly high grades, they won't throw a prodigy like me. SLAP -I'm starting having second thoughts for that-

[ONC 2024 Prompt 18] The once-famous temple dancers are now left to destitution; their status is akin to that of prostitutes, and hence they hope for a saviour to help them reclaim their lost glory. There are hushed whispers of the prophecied Nateshwari, the earthly Goddess of Dance, who is to be born amidst them, but no earthly deity has ever descended from the womb of a mortal woman. However, hope is the balm for the souls afflicted by dark times. Sometimes, the rise to power degrades one's morality, and grave wounds of the past unfortunately transform the wounded into the same beast from their nightmares. "It would be a sin to do so. She is revered as the Nateshwari." "And I will show everyone what worth their beloved Nateshwari is. Nobody shall then dare question my authority."

Featured by WATTPAD Asian Fantasy The nectar of righteousness is entrenched when Shri Lakshmi, who emerged from the ocean along with the amrita reunites with Narayan, who, as Mohini, bestowed the amrita upon the Devatas. 𝘿𝙝𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙞 - the supreme manifestation of 𝘼𝙠𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙖 𝘽𝙧𝙖𝙢𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙖 𝙉𝙖𝙮𝙖𝙠𝙞, 𝘼𝙙𝙞 𝙎𝙝𝙖𝙠𝙩𝙞 𝙎𝙝𝙧𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙞 𝙈𝙖𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙠𝙨𝙝𝙢𝙞 is born in the lineage of the venerated Kurus as the youngest of Kunti and the beloved of Kanha - the Lord of Dwarka. Harmonize with her conscience as she unearths the cauldrons of conceit, malfeasance, and knavery among her own family; battles for love; anamnesis her primordial identity; endures profanity; and shatters the hegemonic patriarchy that breaches the aspect of the divine feminine Shakti - the very essence of the universe. Endearment, hellions, retrouvallie, motherhood, sovereignty, curses and cordolium - Dhriti has to face it all. Rising above her flaws and foible, the quintessence of the Universe completes a full circle of her mortal incarnation. From Kuruvansha Kumari to the Samragyi of the Three Worlds - This is the tale of "Kanha's Priya." 【 This is a work of pure fiction. Through this, I do not mean to hurt anyone's religious sentiments and beliefs. The story is loosely based on Mahabharata, while majority of the plots and character potrayals are a part of my imagination. Enjoy! 】
