And absolutely, under no circumstances, get distracted by people. At twenty, the six-foot-five aerospace engineering student has his life arranged almost perfectly. Classes. Labs. Books. His 9.9 GPA. A small circle of people he actually tolerates. Then Diya Banerjee walks into his life. Eighteen. Five-foot-three. Bengali. Psychology student. Loud enough to start an argument with a wall and stubborn enough to finish it. She doesn't believe in following rules simply because someone wrote them down. She doesn't particularly trust men. She definitely doesn't trust grumpy seniors who stare at her over their glasses. And unfortunately for Aathiran's carefully organized existence, Diya finds him fascinating. Their first meeting is an accident. Their second is an argument. Their third becomes a pattern. And somewhere between campus corridors, ridiculous fights, late-night conversations, stolen glances, jealousy neither of them wants to admit to, and two very different cultures colliding- Aathiran begins to realize that the girl who disrupted his silence might be the only person he doesn't want to silence. Diya, meanwhile, has a much simpler problem. She wants him. The problem? ๐๐๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ซ๐๐ง ๐ก๐๐ฌ ๐๐๐ฌ๐จ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ญ๐๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ง๐จ ๐ข๐๐๐ ๐ฐ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐จ ๐๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ ๐ ๐ข๐ซ๐ฅ ๐ฐ๐ก๐จ ๐ฌ๐๐ฒ๐ฌ ๐๐ฑ๐๐๐ญ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ฌ๐ก๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ค๐ฌ Two states. Two cultures. Two completely different personalities. One campus. And a love story neither of them planned. Because sometimes the person who ruins your perfectly peaceful life... is the person you can't imagine living without.

Her sister, Pranali, knows that feeling better than anyone. Unlike Roohi, Pranali has one dream that belongs entirely to her-a career in fashion. And when the most prestigious fashion house in the country, Rathore Empire, offers Pranali the opportunity of a lifetime, she finally decides to choose herself. There is only one problem. Rathore Empire belongs to Devyansh Singh Rathore. The ruthless CEO. The eldest son of one of India's most powerful royal families. The man Pranali is supposed to marry. Neither of them loves the other. So when Pranali decides to run on her wedding day, Roohi helps her. But escaping a royal wedding isn't easy. And when the bride disappears just before the ceremony, someone has to take her place. That someone is Roohi. Before she can understand what is happening, Roohi is dressed in her sister's bridal lehenga, hidden beneath a veil, and walking toward a man who believes he is marrying Pranali. By the time Devyansh discovers the truth- the wedding is already over. Now Roohi is his wife. The woman who replaced his bride. The woman he never chose. And the woman he absolutely refuses to fall for. Except the Rathore family has already begun claiming her as their own. His siblings adore her. His parents protect her. His cousins tease her. And Devyansh? He can't decide whether he wants to push her away or keep her close enough that she can never leave. Because Roohi may have entered his life as a replacement. But somewhere between the arguments, stolen smiles, family celebrations, jealousy, late-night conversations and a marriage neither of them wanted... she becomes the only woman he wants. She was his replaced bride. But she may become his chosen wife.

They never asked if they wanted any of it. Kashvi Arora has spent her life being the daughter who is never quite enough. At twenty-three, she has a secret the world would kill to knowโshe is the bestselling novelist behind a mysterious pen name. Millions have fallen in love with her words without ever knowing her face. At home, however, none of that matters. Then her family decides to marry her off. To ๐๐ค๐๐ง๐ฌ๐ก ๐๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ฅ. Twenty-seven. Reclusive singer. Heir to the Sehgal empire. Infuriatingly arrogant. Emotionally unavailable. And, according to Kashvi, the last man on earth she would willingly marry. Ekansh doesn't want the marriage either. He doesn't believe in arranged marriages. He doesn't trust his father's intentions. And he certainly doesn't intend to spend his life tied to a woman he met only because their families decided they would look good together. So they make a simple agreement: ๐๐ก๐๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ ๐๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฐ๐๐๐๐ข๐ง๐ . ๐๐ก๐๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ค๐๐๐ฉ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ข๐ซ ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ง๐๐. ๐๐ก๐๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ง๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ข๐ง ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฏ๐. But forced proximity has a way of making enemies notice things they were determined to ignore. A hand that lingers too long, a glance held a second too late and jealousy neither of them wants to name. And secrets buried beneath two powerful families. And past heartbreaks that refuse to stay buried. And a man who falls firstโ ๐๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐๐ซ ๐ญ๐จ๐จ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐๐ฆ๐ข๐ญ ๐ข๐ญ.

Aditya Raichand has everything-popularity, charm, and a reputation that precedes him. What he doesn't have is the ability to let anyone stay. Yashvi Oberoi doesn't care about any of that. She has her code, her quiet, and a life that runs perfectly fine without unnecessary people. When their worlds collide, it isn't dramatic. No sparks. No instant connection. Just irritation... and conversations that go on longer than they should. Somewhere between late-night arguments, accidental confessions, and moments that feel a little too real- Aditya starts falling. And Yashvi? She doesn't even realize she's the only one who's never tried to leave him. But some people don't know how to keep love... even when it's right in front of them
