In the heart of colonial Punjab, love is treason.

Neero was born into fire - a girl of ink-stained fingers, sharp defiance, and the kind of quiet strength empires fear. James Whitmore was never meant to love her - a British officer raised on discipline, pride, and the belief that the world belonged to men like him.

But when fate throws them together, love ignites - fierce, forbidden, and impossible to erase.

As rebellion brews and loyalties are tested, Neero and James must choose between duty and desire, survival and sacrifice. When blood is spilled and secrets are weaponized, even love may not be enough to save them.

A story of rebellion, betrayal, and a love that defied an empire - until it burned.

The First and Forgotten Wife by Shobanamanivannan

Two maids were cleaning a vast chamber when the younger maid asked the older one, "Didisa, you have been working in the palace for two decades right. Please tell me why are we cleaning this already clean chamber?". The older one smiled and said, "Although this chamber is always kept clean, it should be cleaned before anyone can reside here. And above all, our Ranisa is coming back to the palace". The younger maid didn't seem to accept it as a good news and said, "Whoever may come, but they cannot become equal to our choti Ranisa. She is the most kind, generous and sweetest person I have ever seen. She had never gotten angry on any maids even if they make mistakes. Take my example, I have made such a blunder on my first day here, but choti Ranisa accepted me as her own maid. Who can match her in kindness or even sword fight? And moreover she is Ranasa's heart beat". The old maid sighed and said, "Our Ranisa may not hold the heart of Ranasa. She may not be well versed in sword fight. But there is a reason why she is still our Ranisa. Sometimes one may have to be harsh to deliver justice and not just compromise between the victim and the tormentor. The people should have some fear about getting punished if they do wrong. And that charisma is with our Ranisa". ----------------------------------------------------------- A young girl of 17 years, looked at the retreating back of her newly married husband with a sad face. Just then her brother-in-law seated beside her husband's empty seat said, "Why are you sad, Bhabhisa?". She replied, "It's Nothing devarsa". He glanced back at his bhabhisa one more time and thought, "I don't know when bhaisa will open up with bhabhisa about his heart. She thinks that he is not fond of her. But how would one explain, why he ate the saltless food without a complaint and glared at me to keep my mouth shut. Unless it is for his beloved wife".

Becoming the Stepmother: Transforming the Liew Family's Fate by TinaWriterXD

When Clara wakes up in a new world, she's no longer a top-tier survivalist from a post-apocalyptic future-she's now the newly married stepmother of four malnourished children in a poverty-stricken rural village. Her husband? A handsome but useless deadbeat who's more interested in gambling and gossip than putting food on the table. With a thatched roof threatening to collapse, threadbare clothes barely holding together, and not a single coin to her name, Clara rolls up her sleeves. She's not here to be a tragic character. She's here to survive-and thrive. But raising four skeptical children, reviving a collapsing household, and navigating a village full of nosy neighbors won't be easy. Especially when her new stepchildren don't trust her, and the whole village is waiting to see how fast the "new wife" will run away. Armed with grit, wit, and a lifetime of survival instincts, Clara is about to prove that even in the toughest soil, something beautiful can grow.
