Where Fire Drowned And Love Ignited

16 parts Ongoing Mature

In the battle between shadows and light, two souls collide - each scarred, each lost. Rudra is a first-year Master's student at the university, a mysterious artist who finds solace in silence, sketching his chaotic thoughts on the pages of his diary. Aagya, the confident and ambitious second-year Bachelor's student, rules the campus with her fiery presence and sharp intellect. When their worlds crash together on a secluded rooftop, sparks fly, setting the stage for a rivalry that goes beyond simple dislike. Their encounters are like a slow burn - full of tension, unspoken attraction, and a simmering connection neither of them can deny. Aagya, the girl who controls everything, will have to face an unexpected force - someone who doesn't care about power or status. Rudra, the loner with a quiet storm inside, is about to challenge everything she knows about herself and the world around her. As the fire of their conflict grows, so does the unexpected flame of love, igniting something neither of them was prepared for. Where Fire Drowned and Love Ignited is a story of enemies who become something more, of passions burning brighter than any rivalry, and of two hearts discovering that sometimes, the most intense feelings come from the most unexpected places.
