Genre: Arranged Marriage Romance | Drama | Slow Burn | Enemies to Lovers

When sweet, small-town schoolteacher Naina Mathur is unexpectedly proposed to by none other than Ryan Malhotra - Asia's most feared, ruthless business tycoon - her world flips upside down. Shy, soft-hearted, and deeply rooted in her modest life, Naina never dreamed she'd be swept into the glittering chaos of the ultra-rich. And certainly not into the arms of a man who barely speaks, never smiles, and carries secrets colder than his steel gaze.

Ryan Malhotra doesn't believe in love. He doesn't trust softness. But when family duty and business align, he agrees to an arranged marriage with the one woman who doesn't fear his name - just the world he lives in. What starts as a strategic alliance slowly sparks with unexpected emotions, clashing ideals, and dangerous attraction.

As wedding functions unfold in royal palaces and under the unforgiving eye of the media, Naina and Ryan are forced to confront their buried pasts, internal fears, and growing desire. From awkward first meetings, protective touches, jealousy, and lingering glances - to the playful meddling of cousins and the scars that shaped them both - they begin to discover that love isn't always born from choice.

Sometimes, it's destiny's most powerful storm.

Two strangers.
One arrangement.
And a love neither saw coming.

Mr. Lover Lover by Bitchingalone

"She wanted freedom. He wanted peace. Love was never part of the plan." Aarav Mehra has everything-money, success, and a mother he adores more than anything. As a devoted son and a man forged in sacrifice, love and marriage have never been on his list. He's spent his life building a future for the woman who raised him alone. But when a marriage proposal lands in his bag-along with a photograph of a girl with the softest smile he's ever seen-his world begins to shift. Maya Reddy is 21, caged by the love of two overprotective parents who've never let her breathe. She doesn't dream of fairy tales or soulmates. She just wants out. For her, marriage is not about love-it's an escape plan. When Aarav and Maya meet through a traditional setup neither of them truly believes in, everything begins to burn-hesitations, ideals, and every line they swore they'd never cross. One wants freedom. The other wants control. One wants love. The other fears it. But fate doesn't ask for permission. This is not your average arranged marriage story. This is about passion born out of silence, love that begins with a no, and two hearts crashing in all the wrong places... just to find the right one.

His Arranged Bride by bhoomi_wrts_13

Aarav Malhotra - the reserved and soft-spoken CEO of Malhotra Hotels - has always put family above everything else. Quiet boardrooms and grand hotel projects are easier for him to handle than matters of the heart. Sakshi Sharma - a gentle, kind-hearted primary school teacher - finds joy in the laughter of children and dreams of a simple life filled with love and understanding. When their families arrange their marriage, both are hesitant, bound more by duty than desire. But as shy glances turn into warm conversations and small gestures grow into affection, they begin to discover that maybe, just maybe, fate knows their hearts better than they do. A tale of slow-burn love, emotional connection, and two introverted souls learning to open up - one gentle step at a time. Update on Friday and saturday tropes : * arranged marriage trope * both fell harder * strangers to lovers * age gap (4 years) * supportive in-laws

Folded Into Forever by author_ikaa_7

From now on, I'll post a chapter every Sunday. Sometimes, there might even be double updates! They weren't lovers. They weren't even friends. Just two strangers chosen for each other by fate and family. From the very first moment he sees her, something inside him settles. Her soft laughter, her gentle eyes, the quiet grace she carries everywhere she goes. There is no hesitation, no doubt. She feels like home. And to her, he becomes comfort. The calm in her storms, the softness in her days, the man whose simple presence makes her heart breathe easier. No drama. No games. No complicated pasts. Just two people learning to fall in love in the most effortless, heartwarming way through conversations, small moments, shared smiles, and a marriage planned long before their hearts caught up. This isn't a story of chaos. It is a story of purity, trust, warmth, and a quiet love that grows stronger with every day they spend together. A simple arranged marriage. A gentle beginning. A forever that unfolds softly.

Aadhya Agarwal, 24, a young fashion designer with dreams dipped in red, lives like the warm glow of a diya on a quiet night. She's soft in the way she speaks, fierce in the way she loves, and carries that sunshine energy that makes people feel lighter just by standing near her. She believes in soulmate-level love, in rituals, in anklets that jingle when she walks toward a future she's always imagined for herself. Abhinav Malhotra, 30, a CEO carved out of discipline and silence, moves through life like a man who's forgotten what warmth feels like. His world is made of glass offices, cold coffee, and unspoken fears. Stoic eyes, quiet voice, careful steps - the sort of man who keeps his heart locked behind his ribs because he's convinced it doesn't deserve a home. She wants a real marriage. He gives her a contract instead. No reasons. No explanations. Just rules. But every rule shakes when her warmth collides with his silence, when her middle-class softness enters his billionaire world, when her brightness starts cracking the walls he's spent years building. Two strangers. One contract. A house full of tension. A heart full of secrets. A marriage that was never meant to feel this real. Tropes: ✨ arranged marriage ✨ contract marriage ✨ grumpy × sunshine ✨ rich × middle class ✨ fall-first-but-deny-it ✨ slow-burn tension ✨ emotional healing arc

His Wife, Their Obsession by LioraVrn9

Don't come here expecting your sugar-coated arranged marriage cliché- No shy, kind, sacrificial bride. No cold husband magically turning soft. ___________________________________________ "One day, Naina, you'll beg me to ruin you." "And one day, Hardhaan, you'll beg me to touch you." She is curves, kindness, and courage- Naina, a woman who has spent her life proving she doesn't need anyone's pity. She has no fear, no hesitation, and no desire to bow down to anyone's rules. He is power, darkness, and cruelty- Hardhaan, a ruthless businessman whose name alone sends shivers down spines. In his world, there is no room for mercy, only control. When fate binds them in an arranged marriage, sparks turn into wildfire. He wanted obedience. She came with her own terms. A battle of wills begins- where his cruelty meets her bold defiance, where marriage is not about love but survival, and where the question is not who will win... but who will surrender first. So if you're looking for "kind bride melts cruel husband"... Wrong story. Here, the bride fights back.
