Summary:

Vivaan Singh, a reserved and introspective student pursuing his bachelor's degree in English, has spent years hiding behind walls of intellectual ambition and self-doubt. Torn between familial expectations and his own vulnerabilities, he's built a life of solitude, content to let emotions simmer beneath the surface. Enter Sasha Alexandrovitch Sergeyev-a sharp-witted, confident diplomat-in-training with a reputation for breaking rules and hearts.

Their worlds collide at university, where a shared love for philosophy and political discourse becomes the unlikely bridge between their contrasting lives. Sasha, with his unyielding charm and piercing insight, begins to unravel the carefully guarded layers of Vivaan's world.

As their bond intensifies, they're forced to confront not only their feelings for each other but also the shadows of their pasts and the expectations of their futures.

Will they have the courage to embrace the love they've found, or will the weight of their struggles pull them apart?
