Gauri Sharma - an 18-year-old innocent, lively, college-going girl - finds herself trapped in a destiny she never chose. Overnight, she becomes the bride of her future brother-in-law, Abhimaan Singh Rathore. Abhimaan is a man whose name defines him - pride runs through his veins, and cruelty hides behind his cold perfection. On their very first night as husband and wife, Gauri witnesses a side of Abhimaan so ruthless that her heart shatters. She vows to never see his face again... to never let him touch her soul. But fate isn't done playing its cruel games. Because the very man she fears, the man she despises, the man she is married to... is also her professor. Now, Gauri must face Abhimaan every single day - in silent classrooms, stolen glances, and suffocating proximity. A mysterious, merciless man who rules with dominance and darkness. Will Gauri survive this twisted fate? Can innocence soften a heart carved from pride and cruelty? And will love ever dare to find its way between a broken girl... and a ruthless professor? Or is this marriage destined to destroy them both?
