backstory cold family friends grumpy love slow-burn soft sunshine

In the glittering world of the Rajwansh empire, power, money, and perfection hide shadows no one dares to name.

Rudransh Rajwansh, the untouchable heir, has everything-wealth, respect, and a life others can only dream of. Yet behind his arrogance lies a man burdened with unseen threats and secrets that whisper through the walls of his mansion.

When Anamika, a quiet orphan with a mysterious past, steps into his world, their fates entwine in ways neither of them expects. Amid stolen glances and slow-burning emotions, darkness watches-waiting.

As love blooms quietly under the weight of family, friendship, and duty, an invisible presence begins to stir. A presence that could either destroy them... or reveal the truth destined to change everything.

A story of love, loyalty, and shadows that refuse to stay hidden-where every heartbeat carries both sweetness and danger.All Rights Reserved

TOXIC by izelwritess

"Love wasn't supposed to be my downfall. But she was never just love-she was an addiction." The room reeked of whiskey and regret. Riyaan Singh Malhotra leaned against the windowpane, the city lights reflecting in his cold grey eyes. His grip on the crystal glass tightened as he watched the rain lash against the glass. She was gone. Again. Rivian Rajvansh wasn't supposed to mean anything. She was a foolish girl with stars in her eyes and a laugh that could make the world stop. Soft, delicate-completely unfit for the world he ruled. And yet, she had walked into his life like a sunrise breaking through an endless night. She had touched him, not just with her hands, but with her heart-something no one had dared to do before. He had warned her. Told her a hundred times that love had no place in his world. That he was a monster, a man drenched in blood and sins she could never imagine. But she stayed. Until she didn't. Now, he was chasing shadows, haunted by the ghost of her laughter and the taste of her lips-both his salvation and his destruction. She was the only addiction he could never quit. The only weakness he had. And Riyaan Singh Malhotra didn't do weaknesses. --- Tropes Included: ✔ Forced Marriage - A contract binds them, but emotions complicate everything. ✔ MML Obsessed with FML - She is his addiction, his weakness, his everything. ✔ Sunshine × Grumpy - She is the light; he is the storm. ✔ Age Gap - He is older, ruthless, and dominant; she is young, fiery, and innocent. ✔ Dark Romance - Possession, control, and an all-consuming love that blurs the line between obsession and devotion. Their love is toxic, dangerous, and inescapable-and neither of them would have it any other way.

The Replacement Bride: A Royal Second Chance Romance by KiaraK007

She was the replacement bride. He was the broken prince. Their marriage began with a scandal- but it would end with a love that shook the kingdom. When *Janvi Rathore* flees her royal wedding to pursue her dreams of modeling, she leaves behind more than just an altar... she leaves *Reyansh Singh Rajvanshi*, the proud heir to the Rajvanshi dynasty, humiliated and heartbroken. To save both families from disgrace, her younger sister, *Samantha Rathore*, steps into the bridal lehenga and marries the man who was never meant to be hers. Reyansh is ice-cold to his new bride, still aching for the woman who abandoned him. Samantha, though hurt, refuses to be a shadow in her own marriage. Slowly, through quiet strength and unexpected warmth, she thaws his frozen heart- one whispered conversation, one midnight embrace at a time. But just as Reyansh begins to see her as more than just a replacement, when *Janvi returns*, demanding a second chance. Torn between past obsession and present devotion, Reyansh must make an impossible choice: *the woman he once loved, or the wife who taught him how to love again?*

His Darkest Light by sereneewrts__

He is the storm everyone fears-cold eyes, ruthless hands, and a past he never speaks of. She is the silence after chaos-soft yet scarred, with a smile that hides a thousand bruises. They weren't meant to collide. But fate doesn't knock-it crashes. In a world where trust is a luxury and love is a weapon, two broken souls find something dangerously rare: understanding. Not despite their pasts... but because of them. He sees her pain like it's his own. She touches his wounds like they were hers to heal. And in the quiet between war and peace, rage and tenderness- they become each other's home. This is the story of Rehaan Singhania and Ahaana Sharma. Not perfect. Not easy. But deeply, irrevocably theirs. Tropes : Broken Boy x Broken Girl Slow Burn Romance Trauma Bonding Protective Male Lead Grumpy x Reserved Dark Past, Healing Present Found Family Soft Spot for Her Only

Between Pages and Glances by Moonlitinks

She fell first. He fell harder. But love isn't always loud-sometimes, it's just loyal. "In the silence of shared books and stolen glances, their love began quietly." ♥♥ Between Pages and Glances is a tender slow-burn about two opposites: - A selfless eldest daughter who hides her chaos behind calm smiles - A carefree youngest son who doesn't believe in love and laugh through life. 💜Aarshi Yaduvanshi believes in storybook love, but life has only given her responsibilities. She's soft, self-sacrificing, and always holding everyone-while silently wishing someone would hold her. 💙Abhimanyu Rajvansh is the golden boy. Charming, untidy, and annoyingly confident. He laughs through life, calls love "filmy nonsense," and believes in keeping things light-until he meets her. ♥♥ A story of quiet pining, whispered confessions, late-night calls, and the kind of love that blooms between friendship and faith. In a world full of noise... some love stories stay. Quietly. Faithfully. Eternally. 🌸 Tropes you'll find: ✧She fell first.. ✧Opposites Attract ✧School love story ✧Friends to lovers ✧Eldest daughter X Youngest son ✧Mutual Pining ✧Unspoken Confessions .

MARRIED TO A STRANGER by cute27burg

She stood at the mandap Heart pounding beneath layers of silk and gold. Her family's honor rested on her shoulders, and before her stood a stranger. Her soon-to-be husband. His gaze was cold, distant, but his hand was steady as he tied the mangalsutra around her neck. He hadn't wanted this marriage, but he needed it. His past was a cage of secrets, and she was his shield. He thought she would stay quiet, invisible. But she didn't. 💔 ✨ Slowly, against his will, her light melted the darkness in him. Perhaps this marriage of duty was never just about honor. Perhaps it was destiny in disguise. ❤️

𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬 by authorvidhii

He didn't hate love - he just didn't believe in the kind that fades. She wasn't just sunshine - she was the storm wrapped in warmth. Reyansh keeps his heart guarded, not out of fear, but because he's seen too many people settle for less than real. Quiet, intense, and unapologetically blunt, he never imagined someone could get under his skin. Until Aadhya. She's chaos in pastel. Bold, warm, and completely unfazed by his cold shoulder. A girl who doesn't need saving - but somehow makes him want to be better. She doesn't wait to be chosen; she makes her own space in the world - and maybe in his life too. They were never supposed to collide. But hearts don't ask before they crash. ✨ A slow-burn story of soft glances, sharp words, and the kind of love that feels like home - even when it hurts. Tropes - ✯ Grumpy x Sunshine ✯ CEO x CEO ✯ Slow Burn Romance ✯ Possessive MMC and Ignorant FMC ✯ He fell first... ✯ Soft Banter ✯ Touch her and see the hell. ✯ Spicy

His father, a powerful union cabinet minister, has only one goal- placing Shivaay on the Chief Minister's throne. But power demands sacrifice, and alliances are sealed in blood... and marriage. Anamika Singhania grew up loving one man... Rudra, Shivaay's younger brother, the one who made her laugh, the one she dreamed of. But Rudra never saw her the way she burned for him. Now, fate has bound her to Shivaay, the man she fears... and the one who ignites something darker inside her. "I don't need your love, Anamika," Shivaay's voice is dark, sinful. "I need your obedience." "And if I refuse?" she whispers, anger laced with fear. "There are no refusals in politics. Only power." Rudra never wanted her... until she was no longer his to lose. "Anamika, you don't seem to understand my-" Rudra murmurs, as he reaches out, his hand hovering for a moment like he might touch her shoulder, might anchor her to something "I may not understand everything, Rudra... but I do understand one damn thing... People who once called someone their own don't get to exploit them like they never meant a thing. Like they were just a stepping stone." She cut him off before he could complete his sentence. Trapped between the man she always loved and the one who now owns her fate, Anamika must decide: fight for love, surrender to power, or risk being destroyed by both. Three hearts. Two brothers. One throne. 🚨 NO CHEATING 🚨 🔺 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀. 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿. 𝗣𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻. 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗿𝗲. 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗹. 🔺
