A princess with no memories of her past marries a king very intimidating. However, life is not so cruel, and perhaps she came to the right person. **** Sita was a princess of the kingdom of Videha. Thought to be dead years ago, she returns amidst secrecy with no memories of her past. She feels she has returned home, but not quite so. Unable to understand why her own family feels so aloof, she reluctantly agrees to marry the King of Aryavarta, Rama. Their marriage is a hush-hush event, not the pompous, celebratory kind one would expect a king to have. As days go by, Sita understands that the King is not as bad as the world paints him to be. She doesn't know if she can love him; perhaps she is beginning to, but doesn't hope for reciprocation. Until, one night, when she finds him sleeping with a tear-drenched face, clutching a letter written in her handwriting. Turns out she had forgotten him, but he never did.

✦ Alia Oberoi ✦ A quiet girl with a painful past she never speaks about. Life taught her to stay silent, to endure, and to survive without expecting comfort from anyone. Beneath her calm exterior lies a rare strength - soft, patient, and unbreakable in its own way. ✦ Shivansh Randhawa ✦ Strong, composed, and deeply misunderstood. A man of silence and control, someone who feels deeply but expresses little. The world sees his coldness, but never the loyalty, depth, and quiet protectiveness he carries within. ✦ Rang De Mohabbat ✦ He becomes the safety she never had, and she becomes the peace he never knew. He heals her gently, she supports him silently. Together, their love is not loud - it is devotional, steady, and pure, where they don't just love each other, they revere each other. "𝑾𝒐𝒉 𝒆𝒌 𝒅𝒐𝒐𝒔𝒓𝒆 𝒌𝒊 𝒂𝒂𝒅𝒂𝒕 𝒏𝒂𝒉𝒊, 𝒂𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒉𝒂 𝒃𝒂𝒏 𝒈𝒂𝒚𝒆, 𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒒 𝒌𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒆 𝒌𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒆 𝒆𝒌 𝒅𝒐𝒐𝒔𝒓𝒆 𝒌𝒊 𝒊𝒃𝒂𝒂𝒅𝒂𝒕 𝒃𝒂𝒏 𝒈𝒂𝒚𝒆." ✨

𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐚 𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐢, 𝘋𝘦𝘴𝘪. 𝘉𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘯. 𝘜𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘭𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥. Her '𝘒𝘢𝘢𝘯𝘥' list? Longer than her karma list. Her confidence? Higher than her salary expectations. She enters corporate life with one rule - no drama, no distractions, no kaand. But destiny has other plans. Because across the glass cabin stands her strictly professional, allegedly "sadu" manager... who heard her first opinion about him. Will Samiksha survive corporate life without creating another kaand? Or will the biggest risk of her career be falling for the one man she judged too soon? And HR... Please stay out of this. ✿✿✿ 𝐊𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐢. 𝘚𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦. 𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘵. 𝘜𝘯𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘤. The topper who respects everyone, never back-replies, never raises his voice. The kind of boy professors trust and parents adore. Love was never on his timetable - until she walked in. The baddie. The backbencher. The girl who offends before she greets. The one who claims she hates men... especially the "nice ones." And somehow, out of all people, the softest heart in the room chose her. But when a boy who has never raised his voice decides to fight for love, will her walls stay stronger - or will his quiet patience finally break through?

I never intended to become entangled in their politics- let alone in the bed of their prince. I crossed deserts and seas, driven by a single hope; to save my brother, the only family I have, from a foreign land. He was captured and chained by the King of Hind during our war of conquest. But to free him, I became bound to the man who snatched everything from me. The Prince whose very name fills me with rage: Rawal Ekagraj. A single night with him shattered my honor and binded me to a fate, I never chose for myself. As the crowned Empress of Arabia, I could never betray my people. Yet, he makes me falter. Why? His eyes-deep, dangerous, and impenetrable red eyes that pulled me closer to a destiny I could never escape. Now, I am his bride. A forbidden bride trapped by vows I never wanted and held captive in a kingdom that sees me as the enemy. I lived with the fear of dying any moment there. He was never meant to be mine, just as I was never meant to be his. If we ever fall in love, which was always impossible, it would be as forbidden as it is undeniable. Because it would set against my lucious world steeped in Magic, Betrayal and War. But Rawal was not the only danger I had to face. Something was there which I didn't know. Something which nobody knew. Something dark and destructible. And when it came- we all fell on our knees. It destroyed and shed rivers of blood. But someone was there who was still not satisfied. My past haunted me, my brother's life was slipping away, and the Prince- my captor, my enemy- became the only solace I knew. He seeks peace in me, and in his arms I feel a dangerous flicker of love. This is a tale of love, betrayal, and the ultimate battle between magic, loyalty, and destiny. How can two souls bloom when faith divides them? And when the moment comes to choose, will we sacrifice our hearts to honor the lands we came from? Or will we defy fate itself to survive its wrath?

He was my love, but I was just his path towards the crown which he never owned. When my parents warned me he was a terrorist, I laughed. I didn't believe them. Not until he robbed his own love and left her to die in tiny deaths, moment by moment. We weren't just a few years apart in age, but miles apart in our thoughts as well. Our origins were different, our upbringings were different, we lived in different directions of the world, and yet I never let any of these cause a crack between us, until he decided to build one. REVENGE. His revenge. I was born with the title of Princess, and he was forced to become a knight. He was ready to destroy both of us in the flames of his revenge, lapping around our relationship's newly dug grave. And yet, I stood there firm, unshakable, unbreakable, indestructible, ready to see what his extent was. Because no matter what, at the edge where he ends... I begin. Our marriage didn't only gave a new direction to our relation, but it also sparked an unspoken hunger in him. I don't know why I was getting punished for something I never did. Not only did I betray the promise to my parents, but I also betrayed my every boundary for him. My love for him turned to my dedication when he gave me the only reason to hate him. He put his blade on the neck of the only one I loved the most. So, I put my blade on him, slicing off all the threads of our never budding relationship. He wanted to win it all for the Crown. So, I destroyed it all for the Blood. It was the battle of Blood vs Crown. And the winner was yet to be announced.

After a fierce battle, he claimed my kingdom-and my fate. I am bound by duty to my people, but it is a duty that demands the greatest sacrifice. To save my kingdom, I must marry the man who conquered it. One bound by the crown, the other by my heart. When the king of Suryagarh attacked our kingdom, he did not just conquer our lands-he shattered countless lives. Thousands of widows, children left without fathers, and girls who were only beginning to understand the world. The loss was beyond words. And yet, to save them, I had no choice but to throw myself into the flames of my own sacrifice. I sent the king a marriage proposal through my father. My father was always against it and he must have hidden the truth about me from him. I don't know what he said, but I couldn't back down. I couldn't let my people suffer more. They needed me. Sitting before the holy fire, ready to take vows with my husband, not as a wife but as a mistress, I was shedding silent tears beneath my veil-not because of the sacrifice but because of the price I will pay for it. It all began with his words: "I always loved you. It was always you, never someone else." But the reality was different: "So you were always a manwhore?" "Yes, and you are my whore." And it ends with: "You promised to stay with me during this time. I am still waiting for you. Please... do not let me down." This is a story of a time when women were nothing but objects to be used and discarded, tied down to the bed by the chains of society and sweet taste. But the queen made sure none of them were deprived of their rights. Her legacy was one of hope, as she become the first queen to free courtesans from the shackles of slavery, granting them the freedom they deserve. She married the powerful king of Hind to save her kingdom, but in doing so, she never expected he would become the very reason to turn her life upside down. Mature content included!
