đź“– STORY TITLEDreams, Love, and the Millionaire Game đź“ť SHORT BIO (BLURB)
"He fell in love with the girl by the window. But to win her heart, he had to win at life first."
18-year-old Ayan Mehra is broke, invisible, and dreaming big. While his classmates talk about stock portfolios and summer trips to Europe, he's busy helping his mother pack tiffins to survive. When he falls for Rhea Kapoor, a brilliant girl from a rich family, Ayan decides to change his fate. But love, ambition, and secrets don't mix well.
What begins as a silent crush becomes a full-blown mission to prove his worth—not just to Rhea, but to the world. As Ayan dives deep into the high-stakes world of crypto, startups, and underground business mentors, he finds himself caught between love and legacy, failure and fortune.
Add a dangerous hacker, jealous rivals, and a mentor with a hidden agenda—and the road to success becomes a game where one wrong move can cost everything.
But Ayan isn't playing to survive.
He's playing to win.
