Naina was one of the biggest actresses in the country. Beautiful, successful, and known for rejecting weak scripts without hesitation, she ruled the entertainment industry like a queen.
One rainy evening, her manager arrived with a thick script wrapped in red velvet.
"A fantasy historical drama," he said excitedly. "Two kingdoms, divine powers, obsession, war... the budget is massive."
Naina rolled her eyes but opened it
Narshimhakul was ruled by the cold and divine king, Madhavendra - a man feared for his intelligence and unmatched celestial powers. Veerbhadrakul belonged to Shivaditya - ruthless, terrifying, and blessed with destructive energy. The mere mention of each other's names ignited hatred in their eyes.
And then came Ritika.
The female lead.
A simple woman whom both kings loved with dangerous obsession.
The story spiraled into madness - wars, betrayals, sacrifices, kingdoms burning to ashes. Thousands died in the battle between Narshimhakul and Veerbhadrakul. In the end, both Madhavendra and Shivaditya died tragically... while Ritika married Chandrashekhar, the peaceful male lead, and lived happily ever after.
Naina slammed the script shut in disgust.
"What garbage," she scoffed. "Two powerful kings dying for one girl? And she marries another man? Useless."
Lightning flashed outside her penthouse.
Suddenly, the room trembled violently.
The script glowed.
Before Naina could react, darkness swallowed her whole.
When she opened her eyes again, she was no longer in her apartment.
"Princess Adhira..."
Naina froze.
Memories flooded her mind.
Adhira.
The villainess of the story.
Madhavendra's younger sister.
The woman who secretly poisoned Ritika out of jealousy and obsession for her brother's affection.
And worst of all...
Adhira's fate.
Naina remembered it perfectly.
In the original story, Madhavendra personally executed Adhira with his divine sword after discovering her crime.
Her breath shook.
"No..."
