    In a home where love was a currency, she was always bankrupt. Her parents' affection was reserved for the twin who reflected their every hope, leaving her to inherit the hushed comparisons and soft dismissals.

Offered as a consolation prize, she expects only disappointment in a loveless union. Yet, the journey of marriage becomes an unexpected path to self-discovery. The Color Of My Own Sky is a story of the invisible bruises that shape a soul, and the battle to finally find the courage to paint your own brilliant horizon. Nov. 3 ©deey_jah

At the age of ten, Gauri Kumari, the innocent daughter of a humble farmer, becomes the future bride of Rudranarayan Pratap Singh, the fifteen-year-old heir of the most powerful Thakur family.

    My Last Rites My Brother Performed My Last Rites While I Was Still Alive. At fifteen, I was called a monster for a crime I never committed. My family performed my last rites and declared me dead while I was still alive. I begged them to stop. No one listened. I begged them to believe me. No one did. At sixteen, I watched the same ritual with numb detachment. At seventeen, I stopped caring. At eighteen, I watched it with amusement. Because I knew... It would be the last of my last rites I would ever witness. I laughed. Because I knew the next funeral would be real.

    Every story begins the same. A neglected child. A grieving emperor. A heroine destined to heal a broken family. But this isn't her story. Before the beloved princess was born... Before the emperor learned how to smile again... There was already a child waiting. Prince Kaiel. The Crown Prince of the Empire. Raised not with love, but with duty, Kaiel never questioned the empty halls, the missed birthdays, or the parents who remained strangers despite living beneath the same roof. An elderly maid named Martha became the only warmth he ever knew, teaching him that even forgotten children deserved kindness. Then one day, everything changes. A little princess with pink hair and emerald eyes bursts into his quiet world, calling him "Kai" instead of "Your Highness." For the first time, someone sees not the future Emperor... ...but simply an older brother. As years pass, a family that never realized what they had lost must confront the painful truth of the child they overlooked. Love cannot erase the past, but perhaps it can build a future worth protecting. A heartwarming fantasy about family, forgiveness, and the quiet strength of a boy who never stopped loving the people who forgot him. Because sometimes, the forgotten child is the one who saves everyone else.

    When Sheng Qinghe, the only daughter of the Duke of Anding, lost both of her parents at the age of six, her world crumbled overnight. Entrusted to her late mother's dearest friend, Madam Chen, she was brought into the prestigious Earl Su household and raised as one of their own. Grateful for the kindness she received, Qinghe spent years suppressing her own ambitions, enduring humiliation, and devoting her heart to Madam Chen's son, Su Linhe, believing that love and loyalty would one day earn her happiness. Instead, they became the chains that ruined her life. Madam Chen, trapped in a cold and unhappy marriage, died with countless regrets. The Earl Su family repaid Qinghe's devotion with manipulation, betrayal, and cruelty, forcing her into a loveless marriage before discarding her like a pawn once she had outlived her usefulness. By the time she uncovered the truth behind the schemes that had destroyed everyone she cherished, it was already too late. She met a tragic end, her blood staining the very household she had once called home. But fate grants her an impossible miracle. Ten years before her death, sixteen-year-old Sheng Qinghe opens her eyes once more. This time, she awakens before every tragedy unfolds-before Madam Chen's spirit is broken, before she falls hopelessly in love with Su Linhe, and before the Earl Su family can weave their web around her. Armed with memories of the future, Qinghe vows never to repeat the mistakes of her previous life. She will expose every hidden conspiracy, reclaim the Duke of Anding's legacy, and tear apart the Su family's carefully crafted reputation piece by piece. Most importantly, she will save the woman who had once loved her like a daughter, helping Madam Chen break free from her miserable marriage long before it destroys her.

    Prologue She was unconscious for four days. No one from her family came to see her. Her heart broke. She was in the hospital, yet no one cared enough to visit. Even after everything that had happened to her, she remained alone. As she walked slowly through the hospital corridor, her legs weak and her body aching, she saw them-her family. They stood there, talking in hushed voices. Relief and pain twisted inside her as she limped toward them. Then, without warning, a sharp slap struck her cheek. She stood frozen, numb not from the impact but from the words that followed. "Are you at peace finally? She has been raped because of you. Look at her condition, she is dying." A broken smile formed on her lips. Anyone could see her own ruined state-anyone but them. Once again, they had played their game. Once again, she was the one proven guilty. She wanted to scream, to tell them the truth. "It wasn't her who was raped. It was ME." But no words came out. Only silence.

    An arranged marriage. A powerful name. And a choice that was never meant to become love. When Aishwarya Madhav marries Liam Moretti, it is not born of romance, but of obligation, two lives bound by family decisions, cultural distance, and a world ruled by power. He is an Italian heir shaped by legacy and enemies. She is an Indian woman grounded in quiet strength, kindness, and conviction. Anya Singh, meanwhile, remained woven into a part of Liam's life that still breathed, vibrant, expressive, and alive with emotion. Loving him openly, loudly, without knowing how love could demand more than the heart was prepared to give. As past, present and future collide, What Remains unfolds not just as a love triangle, but a journey of human choice; of loyalty that is earned, of love that transforms, of family that is built through patience rather than blood. This is a story about an arranged marriage that began without love. About power, danger, and the cost of decisions made in the name of protection. Above all, it is a story that asks one question: When everything else is stripped away, what remains?
