Synopsis
"Missus, time to fulfil your duties!” Mu Yuchen demanded as he pulled Xi Xiaye closer with his arms intimately wrapped around her waist.
—
It was a meticulously planned feast for the powerful. Her fiancé had knelt down on one knee and proposed to her sister instead. Robbed of her right to her inheritance, she was prepared for the Xi family to throw her to the wolves.
As she slipped away from her family that had turned their backs on her, she found him — Mu Yuchen, the low-profile and reserved noble that ruled City Z and led Glory World Corporation.
“Mu Yuchen, let’s get married!” He looked up at her, then suddenly stood up.
“Where are you going?”
"Let’s go. Any later and the civil affairs bureau will be closed.”

This is a great story that presents history in a very creative and thought-provoking way. I really appreciate how the novel aligns with my own views on Indian society, showing both its strengths and the challenges it has faced. The way it reimagines India’s past is fascinating—it makes you wonder how things could have been different if history had taken another path. If India’s history had unfolded like this, with strength, unity, and progress, our nation could have been a true global powerhouse. Unfortunately, reality was far harsher, as we suffered centuries of invasions, destruction, and exploitation. The first Islamic invasions weakened our civilization, leading to the loss of great centers of knowledge, wealth, and culture. But the worst blow came during the British Raj, which systematically drained India’s resources, crushed its industries, and exploited its people. Bihar, in particular, was turned into a center for forced labor, famines, and economic devastation. The colonial rulers not only stole our wealth but also shattered the spirit of self-reliance that once defined Indian society. If history had unfolded differently—without these invasions and colonial oppression—India could have remained a leading civilization in the world, shaping its own destiny rather than being shaped by foreign rulers.
