Note to Readers:
This is an LGBTQ+ story about ManXMan love. If that isn’t your space, this is your polite warning ,proceed no further.

SaraswatiChandra Bhattacharya has always lived under the shadow of superstition. Born into a world where fate is measured by loss and misfortune, he has been marked as different since childhood. Betrothed twice, only to lose both to tragedy, he has learned that joy comes at a distance and that the color white can be both armor and exile. Confined within the walls of his grand family estate, SaraswatiChandra finds freedom only in the strokes of his pencil, creating fabrics and designs that dance with life, colors forbidden, patterns untamed ,a silent rebellion against a life that demands restraint.

Far away, in the towering steel and glass of the city, Ashish commands empires with precision. Brilliant, calculating, and magnetic, he moves through the world untouched by superstition yet bound by expectation. His life is meticulous, his desires controlled, until subtle currents hint that the universe has more in store than boardrooms and contracts.

Two men, separated by distance, culture, and circumstance, move through parallel lives ,one defined by constraint, the other by authority. Yet fate has begun to weave invisible threads between them, threads that will test tradition, defy expectation, and ignite a passion neither could anticipate.

Love Beyond Convention is a story of courage, creation, and defiance. It is about the quiet power of resilience, the rebellion of the heart against rules it cannot accept, and the transformative magic of love that refuses to be contained by society’s narrow definitions. In a world of whispers, judgment, and old beliefs, two souls will discover that the heart is far bolder than any superstition and far freer than anyone dares to imagine.

This is my first novel. I am not an experienced writer , I just wanted to bring my imagination to life. English is not my first language, so please forgive any mistakes or awkward phrasing; they are part of my journey as a storyteller.


This story is purely a work of imagination. I do not intend to insult or misrepresent anyone's culture, beliefs, or traditions ,everything here is fictional.


I want to be transparent: I used AI as a tool to polish chapters and brainstorm ideas, but every character, plot, and arc comes entirely from my imagination. This story is mine, from start to finish.


I am open to constructive suggestions, but I do not tolerate insults or disrespect. Mistakes are part of writing, and you will see them here.


A final note: this is a man & man  story. If that is not for you, consider this your polite warning.


Thank you for joining me on this journey and for allowing my imagination to reach you.
