under his mercy

Shyla, once a brilliant and determined medical student, has always lived under the iron-fisted control of Sam, her strict and merciless senior. Every aspect of her life is dictated by the unrelenting expectations he sets, and the consequences of failure are brutal. Despite the punishments and humiliation she endures, she pushes forward, desperate to prove herself.

But when Sam, consumed by his anger and disappointment, declares that she is nothing but a burden and should have been married off instead of studying, Shyla's world shatters. True to his words, Sam arranges her marriage to Jay, a man she barely knows. Forced into a life she never chose, Shyla struggles between obedience and the lingering embers of her own dreams.

As she steps into a new chapter with Jay, she faces an entirely different challenge-one that tests not just her endurance but her very identity. Will she find freedom in this unexpected turn of fate, or is she merely exchanging one cage for another?
