Dastan-e-ishq |Ongoing by icaruswrites

Amira Ahmed doesn't remember the last time she felt happy. The last time she felt love. She doesn't remember when was the last time she was ever free from her responsibilities. All she ever did was work, work, work. That's it. When she got married she didn't expect much from the marriage as well. She couldn't feel happiness in anything she did. She was a lost little girl searching for happiness. When her husband left her the very next day of marriage, she didn't complain and waited for him. Not because she loved him but because he had a life in his hands which she loved dearly. Waqar Ahmed was a man full of confidence, anger, violence and emotionless. He wasn't a man people mess with.

Branded By You by Fading_Romance

When he's not teaching at Delhi University, he freelances as a marketing consultant-every rupee going towards paying off family loans and securing a better future for his parents. Love?

When eyes spoke by tanu710

In the quiet corners of a college campus, two hearts collide in the most unexpected way. Anaya, spirited and spoken for, finds herself drawn to Ethan - a boy who watches her not with expectation, but with quiet understanding. What begins as late-night conversations and innocent glances soon unravels into something far more dangerous... and irresistible. Amid stolen moments, silent guilt, and growing desire, they both wrestle with what's right and what feels real. A story of longing, hesitation, and the kind of connection that arrives uninvited but refuses to be ignored - this is a tale of the chaos between commitment and chemistry, where love doesn't always ask for permission before it takes hold.

The Echoes of Our Hearts by Adi_Mazz92

Some stories bloom in sunshine. This one took root in shadows. For every beginning is not loud. Some slip in quietly-like a secret. Like a glance held a second too long. Like a name you weren't supposed to remember... but did. At Regalia Reynolds Global University, appearances were everything. Beneath the gleaming towers, designer labels, and curated smiles, truths were buried deep-hidden behind last names that weighed like crowns. Prisha Goyal didn't belong to that world. Not by blood. Not by bank balance. She was a girl with a past too heavy for her age, and dreams stitched together by hope and resilience. She wasn't looking to be noticed-not by the elite who ruled the halls with old money and sharper smiles. But life has a habit of unraveling even the most carefully woven plans. The Four Princes didn't need new players in their world. Yet fate introduced her anyway. To most, they were unreachable. To her, they became something else entirely. Enemies. Friends. Confidants. Strangers. And eventually... something far more complicated. As friendships formed in the unlikeliest corners, and laughter echoed through shared dorm kitchens and unspoken pain, the lines began to blur. Loyalties tested through whispered betrayals. Between affection and obsession. Truth and illusion. Trust and betrayal. And somewhere between the stolen glances, cruel misunderstandings, and gentle touches that meant far too much, something deeper began to bloom. Each thread Prisha tugged unraveled another mystery-about her past, about those she called friends, and about the man whose eyes always lingered just a little too long. Because love doesn't arrive in declarations. Sometimes, it creeps in-slowly, silently-until it wraps around your heart like ivy. And when the masks fall, when the truths finally surface, the question remains: Who will still be standing? P.S: It is a slow burn romance
