Synopsis
Aviraj Raghuvanshi, the royal prince of Rajgarh and the most feared underworld mafia don, lives a life of opulence cloaked in shadows. Known for his power, ruthlessness, and charm, his rule over both royal circles and the crime world remains unchallenged. But his empire starts to tremble—not from enemies, but from Aarohi Maheshwari, a soft-spoken, introverted girl with a mysterious past. Aarohi, a brilliant classical musician, is from a conservative middle-class family. She dreams of peace, not palaces. But when her father, drowning in debt, forcibly marries her to Aviraj in a secret political agreement, her world crashes. Thrown into the cruel, glittering web of royalty and crime, Aarohi struggles to survive in Aviraj’s dark world—a world of bloodstained secrets, rival gangs, royal betrayals, and haunting pasts. But beneath Aviraj’s cold, commanding exterior lies a storm of pain—and passion. As she begins to uncover the truth behind Aviraj’s criminal empire, she finds herself drawn to his broken soul. He, too, is unable to resist her purity, even as it threatens to destroy the empire he built. But love isn’t enough in a world where loyalty is currency, and betrayal is law. Will Aarohi tame the beast behind the prince’s crown, or will she be devoured by it?
