Summary

In a small Pakistani village, where traditions hold strong, a young woman named Zargul becomes a victim of a centuries-old custom. When her brother commits a grave crime, the village council decides that Zargul must be handed over as a ‘vani’ (a bride given as compensation) to the victim’s family.

Zargul’s life takes a dark turn as she is forced to marry Chaudhry Yazdan, a man consumed by grief and vengeance for his brother’s death. Yazdan’s heart is filled with hatred, and he vows to make Zargul’s life miserable as retribution for her brother’s actions.

Trapped in a loveless marriage, Zargul faces constant cruelty and humiliation. Despite her innocence, she is treated as a mere object, a symbol of revenge. As days turn into nights, Zargul finds solace in her faith and prays for strength to endure her suffering.

Unbeknownst to Yazdan, his cold heart begins to melt as he witnesses Zargul’s resilience and unwavering spirit. Her kindness and compassion start to chip away at the walls he has built around himself. Slowly, Yazdan finds himself drawn to her beauty, both inside and out.

As their lives intertwine, Yazdan’s feelings for Zargul deepen, but he is torn between his desire for revenge and his growing love for her. Will he continue to seek vengeance, or will he find the courage to break free from the chains of tradition and embrace the unexpected love that has blossomed in his heart?
