His heart? Not so much. As danger closes in, their team grows: Kavin the ghost hacker, Meenakshi the intel queen, Arjun the explosive expert, and Reena the master of disguise. But when Varshika is cornered and Darshan takes a bullet to save her, the mission turns personal. Darshan (bleeding):"You stitched me up again. You planning to open a clinic or just marry me?" Varshika (deadpan): "I'll consider both. But only if you stop catching bullets like confetti." Dev, the man behind the shadows, watches from afar - sending goons, traps, and twisted missions to erase them all. Dev (watching footage): "They fight like heroes. Shame I sent clowns." "Code of Shadows" is a slow-burn romance thriller packed with fake identities, emotional flashbacks, spicy banter, and a team you'll fall in love with. Because sometimes, the most dangerous thing isn't the mission - it's what your heart remembers. ---

What will happen when the four Rajvardhan brothers, cold-hearted, power-driven, and scarred by their pasts, are forced into marriage under family pressure? Thrown into unwanted vows with four women, these men are about to face a storm of secrets, rebellion, and desire. Will they cage the women they're bound to, or set themselves on fire in the process? But within the heart of this empire, beneath the gold and glass, something else is moving. Something ancient. Watching. A whisper in closed rooms. A name erased from every record. A presence that slips through power like smoke, leaving chaos in its wake. They call it a phantom, a myth, a curse woven into the Rajvardhan bloodline, a force that does not bleed, does not bow, and cannot be seen. It moves between them, twisting truths, and marking its next prey. And as the brothers fall for the women meant to ruin them, the shadow begins to rise, pulling everyone into a game where love is a weapon, and survival is the only sin worth committing. The question isn't who will win. It's who will remain once the phantom is done rewriting history. ! MATURE CONTENT ! Started on: 01/08/2025.
