In a land steeped in mystery and heartache, a dark tale unfolds. Khalid, a young lord cursed by fate, is bound by a sinister pattern that haunts him: each night, he is forced to take the life of a bride, an act that weighs heavily on his conscience. With a heart filled with sorrow and a realm gripped by fear, he struggles against the inevitable cycle of death that threatens to consume him whole.

Enter Shahrzad, a fierce and resilient woman who defies the odds by volunteering to marry Khalid, not for love, but for revenge. Driven by her deep-seated desire to avenge her best friend, she schemes to outsmart the man who has claimed so many innocent lives. Armed with her wit and bravery, she weaves tales that captivate Khalid night after night, buying her time and slowly unraveling the truth behind his torment.

As tension mounts, the two find themselves entwined in a complex dance of loyalty, power, and unexpected passion. What begins as an act of vengeance soon shifts into a deeper exploration of their hearts, revealing the hidden layers of each character. Khalid's chilling exterior conceals a depth few have witnessed, while Shahrzad's steely determination masks vulnerabilities that evolve through their encounters.

Amidst the backdrop of a kingdom struggling for peace, alliances form, and dark secrets are unearthed. With fate breathing down their necks, both Khalid and Shahrzad must confront their pasts and the choices that bind them. In their quest for connection in the face of despair, they discover that love can grow in the most unlikely places, even in the shadows of the crown.
