Khushi Kumari Gupta is a small-town girl who is content with her life and happy finding the small joys life has to offer her. A chance encounter with a fashion mogul turns her life upside down leaving her to question her values, faith, and destiny. Business tycoon Arnav Singh Raizada doesn't like hearing the word no. When Khushi stands up to him, he forces her to become his mistress, knowing it will break her spirit. A proposal, that starts as a show of supremacy, unleashes a flurry of events that forces ASR to come to terms with what his life has been so far - a meaningless power quest. Will the experience bring about a change in him? Will he find the true meaning of love? And will Beauty once again fall in love with the Beast?

Arranged marriage was an age-old story that Khushi, the youngest of the infamous Gupta family, who revolutionized and dominated the trading market for generations, knew well. For it was the only thing she heard growing up. But that neither prepared her nor comforted her as she got ready that morning. It was an important day, a day where she would trade her surname for a new one, her silence for a new chance, her respect for a new hope, her life for another. It was a day of contracts, both new and old. As she hid behind the traditional red shawl, knowing that the whole world would be watching her, waiting to pounce, she wondered why her mother never told her about any of the good marriages. The ones that worked out. The ones that had hope. The ones that had love. Probably because they don't exist, Khushi thought to herself. Only, destiny had believed otherwise. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a stand alone story that has no connection with the original show, Iss Pyar Ko Kya Naam Doon, except for the names of the lead characters.
