Plot

Reyyan is a granddaughter of the Şadoğlu Family, a prominent family in the town of Midyat. Her grandfather and father are very important figures in her life and Şadoğlu family. However, Reyyan never felt loved in the household by anyone except her father, Hazar (he is her stepfather), mother and little sister. Reyyan has been mistreated by her grandfather since childhood due to the fact she's not his biological grandchild, and the only reason he adopted her into the family is because of his son Hazar, but she doesn't know that. One morning, Reyyan goes off riding on her horse into the fields to her favorite spot that she loves to watch the sunrise. On her way back her horse almost gets hit by a car, she falls and loses consciousness. The driver of the car is a handsome young man named Miran, who becomes attracted to her. He takes her back home in his car and the story begins...

Yaren, the daughter of Cihan (Hazar's brother) is extremely attracted to Miran, but Miran falls in love with her cousin Reyyan causing Yaren to swear revenge on Reyyan for in her mind stealing Miran from her and ruining her life. Eventually, Miran proposes marriage to Reyyan, they get married and start their new lives together. After spending their first night as husband and wife, the next morning he leaves her, sparking intense feelings of betrayal and hatred in Reyyan for him, as she vows to never let him forget what he has done to her as long as he lives, that she will never forgive him for what he has done to her. It turns out that everything about Miran is a lie;, the wedding, his family, his name, his background... Miran's plan all along was to gain the trust of the Şadoğlu family, marry their innocent daughter Reyyan and then leave her the morning after, thus exacting the first part of his 'revenge plan' and humiliating Reyyan and the entire Şadoğlu family. But his feelings for Reyyan were the only thing that was real in the whole situation, his love for her was true and genuine from the moment he met her, and what he did to her he did against his will, under the guiding hand of his grandmother (Azize). Miran now struggles to cope with what he has done to the one he loves. The motivation behind his revenge is the fact that Miran believes Reyyan's father (Hazar) kidnapped, raped and killed his mother and shot his father. He was raised by his grandmother and told since he was a child that he has to revenge the murder of his parents and uplift his family name once again. As time goes on, secrets are revealed while Reyyan and Miran struggle with the feelings they have for each other, Reyyan with feelings for the man whom in her head she hates but in her heart she loves, and Miran with feelings of extreme guilt for what he has done to the one girl he truly cares about
