This fictional story is set back in the year 1626 during the Mughal Sultanate in India. The story is mainly based on the powerful Mughal Empress, Nur Jahan, who was the twentieth wife of the fourth Mughal Emperor-Jahangir.
This story is about how Nur Mahal(name given to her by Jahangir) once saved Jahangir from the rebel king Mahabat Khan.
Nur Jahan was born as Mehrunnisa to Mirza Ghias Beg and Asmat Begum, who were refugees from Persia and came to India to improve their fortunes. She was born on 31st May, 1577 and was the second daughter and fourth child of the family. She had a love affair with Crown Prince Salim(later Emporer Jahangir), but was married to Sher Afgan(aka Ali Quli was made the jagirdar of Burdwan in West Bengal by Jahangir) by Akbar. Sher Afgan was killed by Jahangir for treachery. Some rumours say that Jahangir did so as he was in love with Mehrunnisa and wanted to marry her.
After Sher Afgan's death, Mehrunnisa fled from Bengal to the royal zenana(the women quarters of the palace). After four years, she eventually married Jahangir.
Her father served under Akbar as the treasurer of Kabul; and also under Jahangir where he rose to power because of her daughter. Her brother, Abul Asaf Khan was loyal general who served under Jahangir. Nur Jahan also arranged for her daughter Ladli to marry Jahangir's youngest son, Shahryar and her niece Arjumand Banu Begum (later known as Mumtaz Mahal) to marry Prince Khurram (the third son of Jahangir and the future Emperor Shah Jahan).
Jahangir's affection and trust of Nur Jahan led to her wielding a great deal of power in affairs of state. Jahangir's addiction to opium and alcohol made it easier for Nur Jahan to exert her influence. For many years, she effectively wielded imperial power and was recognized as the real force behind the Mughal throne.
Now let's begin with the story.

Not to protect him. Not to save him. But because she knows the truth of what happened... and she cannot bear to confess it. They have never met. But the moment they do, the air turns sharp- full of tension, unspoken accusations, and the kind of hate that feels too much like longing. He despises her for a sin she never committed.

Good For You (Al-Ameen Family #3)
There are endless examples of "girl hates boy, boy makes girl fall in love, boy and girl live happily ever after" stories. This is just another one. But that's not all. Nazeeha Afzal cared only for three things: God, her job, and her girls. She paid no attention to those around her and did what she had to do to be happy. To the world she was intelligent, independent, and responsible. For those who really knew her, she was pure-hearted, wise, and free spirited. At only 20, she understood how the world worked and she wasn't one to keep quiet about it either. And that's exactly why she and Ali would not get along. Ali Al-Ameen was every girl's perfect man. Charming, funny, and could sing Bollywood songs for days, Ali had no problem becoming best friends with every stranger he met on the streets. This 20 year old lived for excitement, adventure, and the thrill of being alive. It was a shame he fell in love with the one girl who was just like him in every way, but he'd never be able to see it. Nazeeha and Ali were two sides of the same coin, but Nazeeha lived her life carefully. She despised those who had nothing to worry about and strived to bring justice and equality to those harmed by the inequalities in the world. She never saw Ali as anything more than a spoiled, rich kid and he finally met the one person whose walls he couldn't break through. This is your ordinary love story, but about a pair of extraordinary souls. Part of the Al-Ameen Family series: 1. Through the Dark 2. One Way or Another 3. Good For You 4. NainaComplete
