The fierce beauty, the Koh-I-Noor of the Mughal family,
And she was never up to be claimed.

The perfect role model, twice valedictorian, honors student, socialite, philanthropist, and an upcoming woman in business, she's the crown jewel of the Mughal family. Zeenia takes on the role she was born for, until the burden of expectations threatens to destroy her. 

To everyone else, she lives her life on her own terms, but in reality, the truth isn't always how it's presented, especially not by a Mughal. Blindsided by her brother, Zeenia has to fiercely contend with the future of being forced into an arranged marriage to advance the family business and its interests.

Her brother may have decided Zeenia was his to give away, but she has her own plans. Just as things look bleak, enter her knight, her savior, her charming partner in arms, the one person who's off-limits to her, her brother's best friend... Asfandyar Affandi.

Unfortunately, there are those who would rather see her fall than lead her own life. Stuck between dynastic norms and patriarchal expectations, Zeenia and Asfand have to fight for their chance at love, but to do that, they also have to fight for themselves.

Can they really believe in fairytales when their lives are a constant battlefield?

"If I have to leave you, I'll start seeing courtesans." He stated. Unfazed, "go ahead," whispered the woman of his heartbeat. Prem took one hand off her back and brushed the loose hair at the side of her face behind her ear. "I'll make sure to pick the ones who resemble you the most." "Go ahead." Noor eyed him in a trance. Her smile sensual and smitten. "I'll take a new one to bed every night." His thumb caressed her earlobe. Noor smile widened. "Go ahead." "I'll call them by your name." He somehow managed to keep his train of thought going despite being utterly enchanted by her smile. "Go ahead." Noor confirmed in the same tone. "I'll marry Chand." He said seemingly running out of the list of things he would do with the courtesans. Her smile stumbled and a hint of unspeakable pain flashed in her eyes before she recovered it again and whispered, "go ahead." That little flicker of pain in her eyes killed Prem.
