For Ananya Mehra, life is a constant battle of wits, grades, and unwavering ambition. She's determined to be the best, no matter what - or who - stands in her way. Enter Ishaan Malhotra: her greatest rival, the bane of her existence, and annoyingly, the one person who knows exactly how to push her buttons.

When a high-stakes group project forces them to work together, Ananya braces herself for late nights filled with sarcastic remarks and clashing egos. But it's not just the project that pulls them into each other's orbit. Their lives, their ambitions, and their fiery personalities seem destined to collide in ways neither of them expected.

"Ishaan: You're like that one kid in class who does extra homework just to annoy everyone else.
Ananya: And you're like that cousin who only shows up at family weddings to eat all the biryani and disappear."

Through heated debates, moments of surprising vulnerability, and banter sharper than a double-edged sword, Ananya begins to see a side of Ishaan she never thought existed. But what happens when rivalry gives way to something far more dangerous - something neither of them can control?

Caught between ambition and an undeniable connection, Ananya and Ishaan find themselves in a game where winning might mean losing it all.

"Ananya: Stay out of my way.
Ishaan: What if I don't want to?"

Their rivalry brought them together. The chaos of their lives kept them there. But can they survive the fallout when the numbers - and their hearts - don't lie? They were supposed to hate each other, not fall for each other.
