Lots of couple from India and foreign countries visit Taj Mahal to make their bond stronger. Conclusion: I had a really amazing time there in Agra. It’s a really beautiful place with so much fun.

Semua berawal dari kepergian seorang gadis manja bernama Miku ke sebuah pulau di wilayah utara yang masih asri dan sejuk, bernama Pulau Elang. Awalnya, Miku datang dengan niat sederhana: bekerja dan mengumpulkan uang demi kepentingan pribadinya. Namun, rencana itu perlahan berubah ketika ia bertemu dengan Mark, seorang pria pribumi Pulau Elang yang tanpa disadari berhasil mengubah cara pandang Miku terhadap dunia dan kehidupan di sekitarnya. Hubungan mereka tumbuh cepat. Hanya dalam waktu tiga hari, ketertarikan berubah menjadi rasa sayang. Meski demikian, cinta yang mereka jalani harus disembunyikan—tak seorang pun boleh mengetahui hubungan mereka. Hubungan yang tersembunyi itu justru menumbuhkan banyak salah paham, terutama ketika Miku terlihat dekat dengan Rio, pria yang berasal dari suku yang sama dengan Mark, namun memiliki karakter yang sangat bertolak belakang. Kesalahpahaman demi kesalahpahaman perlahan meretakkan hubungan mereka, hingga rasa percaya Mark terhadap Miku nyaris hilang. Namun, Miku bukanlah sosok yang mudah menyerah. Ia berjuang mengembalikan kepercayaan Mark, meski setelahnya pertengkaran dan perbedaan justru semakin sering terjadi. Anehnya, di balik konflik tersebut, rasa sayang di antara mereka tumbuh semakin dalam—terutama saat mereka hanya berdua. Tanpa disadari, mereka kerap melupakan sebuah tembok besar yang berdiri di hadapan hubungan mereka: perbedaan keyakinan. Miku berdoa dengan tangan terangkat, sementara Mark berdoa dengan tangan tergenggam. Perbedaan yang sederhana, namun terasa sangat berat. Perjalanan cinta mereka belum usai ketika keadaan dan waktu memaksa mereka berpisah, terutama saat Miku harus kembali ke kampung halamannya. Namun, takdir kembali mempertemukan mereka. Dengan penuh rasa syukur, Miku menyadari bahwa skenario yang Tuhan tuliskan untuk hidupnya adalah tentang cinta yang tumbuh di tengah perbedaan. Mereka belajar untuk bersama meski cara berdoa tak sama, karena yang mereka yakini adalah bahwa setiap agama mengajarkan kebaikan, bukan keburukan.

Before marrying Silas, Joyce had only met him three times. A marriage of convenience, a secret agreement, for a term of three years. She's fresh off a heartbreak — the man she chased for years told her they "weren't a good match." Silas has his own baggage: rumor says he's still hung up on a white moonlight who happens to look just like Joyce. So that's all she is. A substitute. ** In the second year of their marriage, on Joyce's birthday, she drank too much and, in front of everyone, tugged on his tie, pinning him underneath her: "You look... a lot like my husband." The Thorne family's second master, known for being rational and unfeeling, was flustered by her that night. He leaned in close to her ear and coaxed in a low voice, "Be good." The next day Joyce woke up to find her lips were swollen. This… Who did this! When she went to question him, she discovered Silas's lip was bitten. He stared at her and said slowly, "You crossed the line first." ** The scandal leaked. At a party, her ex-boyfriend stepped in: "She's mine. Who dares talk?" Then Silas walked in. The room went silent. "Yours? Since when?" "Joyce, tell me. Whose are you?" So much for the secret marriage. So much for being a substitute. This was supposed to be fake… wasn't it?

Fu Xiaoxiao transmigrates into a book and immediately faces the crisis of being sent to the countryside. As the unloved middle child, her younger sister is the one meant to go — but her mother transfers her job to the sister instead. A disaster of a start. To avoid being sent away, she has to marry within seven days. She meets a few ordinary men and decides she'd rather go to the countryside. Then she runs into a neighbor who's also looking for a spouse — and his conditions are surprisingly good. A dowry of three hundred? Bicycles and a radio? Just take care of the kids, and separate rooms are fine? The others may pass, but she won't. Every day is a battle of wits with the two kids. Life is eventful, she gets a salary every month, and the boss is never home. Absolutely perfect. Except... wasn't this big shot supposed to be infertile? Then why does he keep strutting around naked in front of her? She has professional ethics. She won't be seduced by a good body. Hmph. Men only slow down her sword swing. Lu Feng grits his teeth at Fu Xiaoxiao, who remains completely unmoved by his countless attempts to seduce her, and traps her in his arms. "Boss, let's talk this through. I know forty a month is a bit much — how about... five less?" Trapped in his embrace, Fu Xiaoxiao thinks he's unhappy with her high salary and starts bargaining. "I'm giving myself to you for free." Lu Feng grinds out through clenched teeth. This woman has no heart. "...Can I say no?" Fu Xiaoxiao swallows, staring at the washboard abs so close. "Such a good deal — are you sure you don't want it?" Lu Feng squints, tempting her. "Fine." A fool turns down a bargain.
