Chakravartin - From a Clerk's Son to Emperor of India

In 2025, Eshaan Vikram Shresth is an archaeology professor at the New Nalanda University - brilliant, overlooked, and quietly consumed by a love of civilizations that died before the world could appreciate them. When he follows a hidden alignment in the ruins of the original Nalanda into a subterranean sanctum, he stumbles upon a secret the world has kept for over two millennia. The Nine Unknown Men, the legendary society founded by Emperor Ashoka the Great after the Kalinga War, are real. They have kept their vigil across centuries, guarding nine books of knowledge so dangerous that no single era could be trusted with them. And one of those books - the Ninth, has been waiting. For him. The Quill of Sociogenesis, dark and iridescent and impossibly alive, does not ask Eshaan's permission. It chose him. And next thing Eshaan knew, he is ten years old, frail, suffering from a disease and lying in a clerk's house in Pataliputra and the year is 1178 CE. He carries two things into this new life: the accumulated knowledge of a modern historian who has spent his career studying exactly what went wrong with India, and the mark of a cosmic mandate written in his own flesh. He knows the invasions coming. He knows the betrayals, the fractures, the missed chances. He has read every book, studied every empire that rose and fell in this soil. Now he will build the one that doesn't. Disclaimer - This Novel series is an Isekai medieval India historical fiction. I don't wish to hurt anyone's feelings and would like to trace an alternative history for Indian Subcontinent, exploring the possibilities if the events unfolded in a different way.

To Make Him Fall...or not

“I gave you my soul in my last life. In this one, I’ll settle for your crown.” ~ In my first life, I was the devoted Queen. I waited two months for my husband, King Lauren, to return from the front lines—only for him to walk through the palace gates with a beautiful young maiden by his side and a decree in his hand: ‘She would be the new Queen’. And because of that evil beauty he brought to our kingdom, I died a discarded "nobody," executed for a crime I didn't commit. But death didn't take me. It sent me back. I woke up on the morning of his return. The crowds are cheering, the flowers are blooming, and my husband is about to humiliate me in front of the entire kingdom. But he doesn't know I've changed. He doesn't know I've returned with a special skill that makes me the most dangerous woman in the room. Before he can introduce his "New Queen," I hand him the one thing no one in this kingdom has ever dared to ask for: Divorce papers. In our land, a Queen asking for divorce is an abomination punishable by stoning. But Lauren thinks I’m bluffing. He looks me in the eye, tears my petition to shreds, and growls, “You are my wife. I will never stamp those papers.” He thinks he is keeping me trapped. He doesn't realize he has trapped himself in a palace with a woman who knows every one of his secrets—and is prepared to burn his kingdom to the ground just to see him sign his name. My goal is simple; I will make him fall... not in love, but to his knees. Since he spent my first life making me cry. I’ll spend my second making him bleed.

Little Moon Of The Red Pavilion

In the heart of the capital stands the Red Pavilion, the most beautiful and infamous courtesan house of the empire. Within its crimson halls lives Qin Yuehuang, a quiet young man born to a legendary courtesan who died giving him life. Raised among silk, music, and whispered desires, he grows up belonging to a world that was never meant for someone like him. But Yuehuang carries a secret no one knows. On nights when the moon rules the sky — during the full moon and the new moon — he becomes Yuehua, a breathtaking courtesan whose beauty captivates the entire dynasty. Yet unlike all others, Yuehua never allows a man to touch her, never performs for anyone, and remains wrapped in mystery. The capital is obsessed with her, but none can claim her. Before the Spring Festival, fate shifts. In the daylight world, Qin Yuehuang encounters the gentle and intelligent Crown Prince, and an unexpected bond begins to bloom between two lonely souls. But that same night, under lanterns and moonlight, Yuehua crosses paths with a ruthless and powerful General of Flame City, a man feared across the empire — and a dangerous spark ignites. Two men. Two identities. One heart caught between love, lies, and destiny. As both men fall for different faces of the same person, Yuehuang is pulled into a web of forbidden desire, hidden truths, and a past far darker than the Red Pavilion itself. Behind his beauty lies a secret that could shake the dynasty… and destroy everyone who loves him.
