"कालः क्रूरः-Time is merciless. But love... perhaps, is eternal."
One moment, Urvashi was a second-year MBBS student, chatting with her friends. The next, she awakens in a world veiled in sandalwood scented air, echoing chants of a distant past and dharma. It's not a dream; it's Ancient Bharat―a land ruled by power, prophecy, and peril.
Caught between conspiracies that could shatter kingdoms and secrets that could destroy her, Urvashi becomes the anomaly the sages never foresaw. And in the heart of the storm stands him―the Emperor of one of the greatest dynasties, Priyadasi Ashoka Maurya. With eyes like dusk and words that burn like agni, he says she's his vidhi, his fate and vows.
"त्वं मम जीवने प्रभा असि"∿"You are the light of my life."
But when love comes wrapped in clandestine royal chains and enemies lurk beneath golden thrones, Urvashi must decide:
Will she return to her world, or become the legend...and the focus of his obsession?

HIS NIYATI (Bhallaldeva x OC) | ✔
"You... you are... here." His voice came out as he whispered, surprising me. I tilted my head slightly and looked at him, responding to him. I licked my lips as I spoke back to him, "Sorry. I don't get what you are saying." I tried to keep it simple. But just as his soft fingers caressed my cheeks like a feather gracing over them, his cold fingers felt so good at the top of my heated cheeks that my body melted at his touch. "Ahh," I gasped at his sudden closeness and touch. I found myself leaning into it. He slowly leaned in, and his hot breath grazed the tops of my lips as I yearned for them to touch mine. Something then I didn't realise would cause the destruction I witnessed through the screen. ___________________________________________________________________ What happens when the villain's heart is filled with one face, the face that has guided him all his life, loved him, and been with him? Bhalla was many things, but he was a lover to his Nandhini, the sole thing holding up his humanity, his anchor from the world, which never supported him. But the only thing is that she is not from his reality or even real. She only visits him in his dreams, and in that dream, he lived, loved, and cherished; for him, that is his reality. Suddenly, he disappeared, leaving him in darkness as he had to fend off his nights with dreamless sleep. Only for her to appear in his reality without knowing him and their connection. Will the villain go to any extreme to get her back to him? To make her love him and see things from his perspective. She is his Niyati.

Hamza: Her Sworn Enemy
Mahnoor was a second-year history student. Sharp-tongued, fiercely independent, and never afraid to speak her mind. Her latest coursework focused on the lives of powerful figures who had shaped India's history. That was when she discovered him. An emperor unlike any other, undefeated in war, feared by rival rulers, praised by historians, yet infamous for his cruelty. The deeper she read about him, the more her hatred for him grew. It was clear to her that the textbooks tried to balance his brilliance by sugarcoating his brutality. To Mahnoor, his name was soaked in blood. One afternoon, while sitting in the university library, she seethed to her friend, "Still. If one of those women had rebelled, her name would be in this book today. I'm angry that none tried to do so." "I wish I was there. I really do." "I would have said things everyone was scared to utter to his face. He wasn't feared because he was powerful, rather, he was feared because people feared for their lives. And that is not power." "He won't be remembered because he was great, but because he did things no one could ever forget." That night, on a rainy street in Mumbai, her car nearly hit an old woman who was crossing the road. Mahnoor quickly got out to confront her, but before she could speak, the old woman looked straight into her eyes and cursed her. "So, you wish you were there? You think you could speak, rebel, and change history with your voice? Then go. Let's see how your voice will be heard in a palace where a woman's opinion holds no importance. Your freedom will shatter because rebellion there means death.Complete

Something worse. "I mean it!" she shouted, raising the knife higher. I lifted the knife between us. "I'll use it," I said, forcing the words out.
