"Haste haste aashiq suli chadh jaate hain..." Because love never comes easy- it comes after fate tests you, breaks you, and dares you to survive. Some love is born from prayers. Some is born from punishment. And some... from replacement. They say life doesn't give everyone everything. But the ones it chooses- it puts them through fire first, just to see if their love can bleed and still breathe. Sia Mehra was never meant to be a bride. She was the other daughter. The quiet one. The one who learned early that silence hurts less than asking for love. When her sister runs away on the night of the wedding, Sia is pushed forward- to replace the bride, to save a powerful family's honor, to marry a man she has never met. But what if this marriage isn't a rescue... but a trap? Vihaan Rajveer Singh Rathod- the masked king of Rajasthan, returns after nineteen years only to claim what destiny owes him. He didn't come back for love. He came back for duty. For blood. For a promise soaked in darkness. The world knows him as ruthless. Feared. Untouchable. Known only by one name-KAAL. She believes in Kanha and forgiveness. He bows only to Mahakaal and destruction. She speaks softly, carries scars in silence. He commands storms, hides a past soaked in fire. She is light that trembles. He is darkness that doesn't. Two opposites. One forced marriage. And secrets buried deep enough to destroy kingdoms. Why did her sister really run away? Why did fate choose Sia as the replacement? What truth lies behind Vihaan's return? And what happens when a man who doesn't believe in love is tied to a woman who only survived because of it? Their marriage was never meant to be love. But sometimes... love doesn't ask for permission. It rises from ruins, burns through destiny, and turns replacements into inevitabilities. A story of a replaced bride, a dangerous groom, and a love that was never supposed to exist.
