"Long before they met, fate had already begun writing their tale."
1980s.
Bai Yansong arrives in India carrying nothing but vengeance.
Young, ruthless, and feared in the underworld, the mafia lord has crossed continents for a single purpose-to settle a debt written in betrayal and blood. Love, loyalty, and destiny have no place in his plans.
Until one night changes everything.
As Rajasthan glows beneath the lights of Diwali, Bai catches sight of a shadow hidden among the rooftops-a sniper preparing to assassinate the king of Mewar.
Instinct takes over.
The gun fires.
The king survives.
And Bai takes the bullet meant for a monarch.
What should have been a single act of courage becomes a chain that binds him to a kingdom not his own. Drawn into a world of royalty, ancient traditions, dangerous alliances, and enemies hidden behind smiles, Bai finds himself caught in a game far deadlier than the revenge he came seeking.
Because some destinies cannot be outrun.
And some hearts are far more dangerous than swords.
As loyalties are tested and secrets threaten to unravel a kingdom, Bai must decide what matters more: the vengeance that brought him here, or the future fate has placed in his hands.
For in a palace where love is forbidden, betrayal is tradition, and every choice leaves blood behind...
destiny is never written without sacrifice.
