I don't know yet," Veer admitted. "Now tell me, Dr. Shekhawat, what do you want?" ​She answered immediately, her voice taking on a deeper, more serious tone. "Someone who doesn't turn me into a Goddess. I want someone who looks at me like a flawed, breathing, normal human." ​Veer looked puzzled. "What? Isn't it the highest respect if a man treats you like a Goddess?" ​"No, Veer. It's a trap," Rashi said, looking him dead in the eye. "When you put a woman on a pedestal and call her a Goddess, you aren't honoring her-you're imprisoning her. You're telling her she's not allowed to fail, not allowed to be angry, and certainly not allowed to be herself. Men use that 'Goddess' title to control us. They tell us we are the 'izzat' of the house so they can dictate how we dress and how we speak. They turn our sacrifices into a 'divine duty' just so we never complain about the burden." ​She leaned back, her gaze cold. "Look at our stories. The 'good' woman is the one who bears abuse with a smile, wears the traditional clothes you approve of, and stays silent. The minute a woman has an opinion, the minute she puts herself first or stops taking someone's shit, you label her the villain. You don't see movies where a man in jeans is a villain just because he isn't in a dhoti, right? But for us, our clothes and our 'tone' decide our character." ​She sighed, her voice softening but remaining firm. "I don't want to be worshipped. I want a partner who knows I am going to make mistakes-and that those mistakes don't make me a 'bad woman.' I want someone who realizes that my life doesn't revolve around being his moral compass. I just want to be human, Veer. Not a symbol, not a goddess, and definitely not someone's property."

Taehyung, reborn in the future, carries the weight of a past drenched in blood and power-a past he only half-remembers. Once a ruler feared for his cruelty, he knows the shadows of the lives he destroyed yet cannot recall all the truths, the betrayals, or the tragedies that led him here. Jungkook, a descendant of demons, born human yet harboring a power older than the stars, was cursed into a lifeless rock statue-an immortal prisoner of time. But one touch awakens him, and his soul takes form, haunting Taehyung with a single, relentless question: "Why did you abandon me?" The lines between love and cruelty blur. Did Taehyung ever love Jungkook, or was he merely a pawn in a game of power and illusion? Who cursed Jungkook? What tragedy ended his past life? Every whispered memory and shadowed vision offers fragments of answers-but none complete. Bound by blood, haunted by demonic forces, and caught in a web of illusions older than mortals can comprehend, Taehyung must navigate a world where gods, spirits, and serpents watch from the shadows. The past is alive, and the future may not wait. In a story carved from mythology, magic, and the cruelty of love, two souls-one seeking answers, the other seeking vengeance-dance on the edge of eternity. Will Taehyung confront the truth of who he was, or will the illusions of the past consume them both?
