Isha hated only one person more than bad endings... Aviraj Singh Suryavanshi. The cold-hearted villain prince of her favourite fantasy novel, Kingdom of Vyomgarh. Cruel. Manipulative. Dangerously handsome. The kind of man who smiled while destroying lives. Every night, Isha would argue with readers in Instagram reels comment sections about him. "Why do people even like him?" she typed angrily at 2 AM. "He's literally a red flag wearing royal clothes." But one stormy night, after finishing the final chapter of the novel, something impossible happened. The lights flickered. The pages of the book started glowing. And before she could even scream- Everything went black. When Isha opened her eyes again... She wasn't in her room anymore. She was inside the novel. "Wait... WHAT?!" At first, she thought she would become the beautiful heroine of the story. Maybe even a princess. But fate laughed at her. Instead... She became Meenakshi. A side character. A maid in the royal palace. "Yeh toh scam hai..." Mina whispered while staring at her plain servant clothes in horror. Not the heroine. Not the villainess. Not even an important character. Just... a maid. Now trapped inside the deadly world of Vyomgarh, Mina knows exactly how the story ends. War. Betrayal. Bloodshed. And at the center of it all- Prince Aviraj Singh Suryavanshi. The future Maharaj of Vyomgarh. The man destined to become the most feared ruler in the entire kingdom. Mina's only goal is simple: Survive. Stay unnoticed. And somehow escape this cursed novel world. Easy plan. Until the villain notices her. One accidental meeting changes everything. One villain obsessed with the only person who knows his fate. #1 timetravel 25-06-2026

Everyone knows the story. Everyone knows of the evil. Visculamia. Locked away in Druinen. Caught. Condemned. Burned. But the ones with status and power write the story. Write the history books. The legacy. Decide who the villain is, who the victim is, and make sure everyone repeats it until it sounds like truth. Remember status holds power, and not every battle is fought with swords. There are always more sides to the story. There is always a charming boy, a friend who smiled and a girl who loved. There is always a version they didn't want you to hear. This is hers.
