Professor x Student Yuvraj × Ishani 28 x 23 She agreed to marry a stranger to pay off her father's debt-never imagining she'd be widowed before the day ended. Ishani is just 23, with dreams barely begun and a future already bargained away. When her husband dies at the mandap, the whispers begin. Shame, blame, and society's judgment come crashing down. But one man steps forward. Yuvraj Singh Rathore-her 28-year-old professor, the silent observer she never really saw-takes her hand again that day, marrying the widow to shield her from a world that's too cruel to care. They are nothing alike. She's fire and quiet. He's calm and distant. What begins as duty slowly melts into something, neither expected-a quiet companionship, a deep understanding, and maybe... love. But love isn't always easy. Especially when it wasn't part of the plan. "She lost her groom. He gave her a name. One sacred fire, two marriages-bound by duty, tested by fate... but can protection turn into love?" "Not every marriage starts with love-but some end in it."
