Two queens. One king. A love bound by duty, jealousy, and secrets.
In the halls of Rathore Palace, hearts will burn, loyalties will falter, and nothing is as innocent as it seems.


In the opulent halls of the Rathore Palace, love, duty, and deception intertwine. Yuvraj Devansh Rathore, the Crown Prince, is a man of unwavering loyalty and deep passion, devoted entirely to his first wife, Ishita Kumari Rathore. Their love is tender, passionate, and unshakable-yet fate and duty threaten to tear their world apart.

For five years, Ishita has been the queen by his side, her heart intertwined with his, yet unable to bear an heir. Pressured by the palace and his mother's insistence, Yuvraj is forced into a second marriage. Enter Aadhya Singh Rathore, a woman whose angelic beauty and innocent demeanor hide a strength that none can see. Unaware of the true reason behind her marriage, Aadhya steps into a world of royal intrigue, rivalry, and forbidden attraction.

Ishita refuses to share her husband, her jealousy sharp and relentless, while Aadhya quietly proves that appearances can be deceiving. In a palace where every glance, whisper, and smile carries weight, love is a battlefield, and hearts are never safe.

Two queens. One king. A crown shrouded in shadows.

Will yuvraj Devansh Rathore fall in love with his Second wife?
