Aanya Verma always dreamed of completing her studies and building a life of her own, but her plans come to an abrupt halt when she's forced into a marriage to mafia king Akansh Singh Rathore. This twist of fate occurs after Akansh's intended bride, her cousin Nisha, abandons the marriage to chase her dreams in London with her boyfriend.
Akansh, left heartbroken and resentful, sees Aanya as a mere replacement for the love he lost, while Aanya struggles to adjust to a world where she's both unwanted and out of place. Despite her sharp mind and the dreams she had for herself, she finds herself trapped by family obligations and a husband who views her with disdain.
Yet, as Aanya's resilience and quiet strength start to show, Akansh's anger gives way to unexpected respect and conflicted emotions. What begins as a marriage of convenience and bitterness transforms into a complex journey of redemption, as both confront the tangled threads of duty, loyalty, and love.
