Life had been unkind to her, leaving her with a heart full of scars and a life she lived solely for her young child. He was the King, while she was a commoner.

In his light , she blooms
Anaya Sharma is brilliance wrapped in silence. At just twenty-seven, she's a celebrated surgeon-admired for her flawless skills and feared for her icy demeanor. To many, she is arrogant. Untouchable. But what they don't see is the price she pays to save lives-sometimes even at the cost of her own. Arjun Rathore is the sun to her storm. A charming, sharp-witted criminal and constitutional lawyer, Arjun's presence in a courtroom is unstoppable. No one dares challenge the man whose words bend justice and who never bows to power, especially political corruption. But even his influence falters when the system he fights turns its back on his greatest weakness-his sister. When Aarushi Rathore becomes the victim of a politically fueled accident, no hospital is willing to treat her. Doors close. Fear spreads. Hope begins to fade. Until Anaya steps forward. Knowing the consequences, she chooses courage over comfort. Defying the very system that protects her, she risks her career-and her life-to save Aarushi. Her selfless act plants the first seed of admiration in Arjun's heart. As Aarushi heals, so does something else. Arjun begins to break through Anaya's carefully built walls, slowly melting the ice around her heart. In late-night checkups, courtroom battles, and whispered confessions, their bond deepens. What starts as respect becomes warmth, and warmth becomes something neither of them expected-love. But in a world where power silences truth, their love is a rebellion. Together, they must face threats, political enemies, and the ghosts of their pasts. Because some love stories aren't written in peace. They're written in courage, fire, and quiet defiance. "She saves lives with a scalpel. He protects truth with words. And together-they dare to love in a world that punishes the brave."

"Reserved for Her"
A true love story - not sure that it would be perfect or not, but yeah... it's beautiful. He joked with everyone. Insulted girls without blinking. Laughed like nothing could touch him. But when she spoke - He went silent. No comebacks. No jokes. Just a soft, "Haan, tum sahi keh rahi ho." Adityan Singh Shekhawat - youngest Rajput son, class clown with villain energy, the boy every teacher feared and every girl wanted. Devika Gupta - eldest daughter from a Teli family. Calm, quiet, and completely unfazed by his chaos. She didn't chase him. Didn't even smile at his jokes. Maybe that's why he stood closer. Close enough to feel. Close enough to almost touch. He wasn't single. He wasn't taken. He was just...𝙍𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙚𝙙 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙝𝙚𝙧.

Dil Ki Dhadkan
Radhya Chowdhary - a girl whose name could touch Everest, yet whose feet remain humbly grounded. Born into a middle-class family, she never dreamed of flying beyond the skies; instead, she dreamt of walking the earth with grace. She's not just her father's little princess, but her mother's fierce queen. To her brother, she's the prettiest annoyance wrapped in unconditional love. Her strength lies in her dance - a rhythm that echoes even in the darkest nights and fiercest storms, an art she inherited from her mother. Behind her bright smile are secrets the world will never see, yet she carries them with gratitude, embracing every blessing from her deity. Telugu, her mother tongue, becomes her fierce weapon - a language reserved for playful scoldings and the occasional sharp retort. Far away from Radhya's sunlit world lives a soul drowning in shadows.

The son of Naina and Vipul Pratap Singh, his life turned cold the day his mother and step father died saving their master's family. The court handed him over to his biological father's house, but love never followed him there. To them, he was not a son - he was a stain, a reminder of shame they could never erase, sheltered under their roof only because of his mother's inheritance. Except for a few loyal cousins, love eluded him. Time sculpted him into stone, hardened him into ice. Alone, he carved his own kingdom - a mafia empire standing tall without anyone's help. His friends became his fortress, his family of choice amidst betrayal. Yet even in this empire, one name still sparked fire in his veins - Arvi Srivastav. The girl he once adored, once teased, once admired with every playful pinch of her angry, red nose. But in his eyes, she became the reason his world shattered; the reason his parents never returned. He loved her once. Now, he only burns with hate. Or so he believes.
