Everyone has the right to smile, love, and find happiness, but that wasn't the case for Hayat Ali. She is a 25-year-old Muslim girl who works as a school teacher.

She lives with her loving father, evil stepmother, and stepsister. Many will say that there's no such thing as an evil stepmother or even a stepsister, but this is because they haven't read Cinderella or even this book.

Ever since she could remember, her stepmother, Maryam, hated her because of the love that she got from her father. She and her daughter always try to make life miserable for Hayat when her father isn't at home.

All that changed when a young man saw how she treated his son with the kindness and love that he wanted for his son.

Aayan Muhsin is a 30-year-old father and widower who is a millionaire. Aayan doesn't believe in God anymore after he lost his wife to cancer four years after his son Azaan was born. He raised his son with the help of his parents.

When he lost his wife, he lost everything that he held dear to his heart except his son.

Azaan. All that changed when he saw her with his son.

Aayan knew that his son needed his mother's love and that he would need her guidance. So when his father told him about her,

He accepted it for his son's sake.

But what he didn't know was that she would change their lives for the better.

Trials will make them question their love and loyalty to each other.

People would want to keep them apart. Will they succeed, or will their love for each other be stronger than any trial that comes their way?

She is Hayat.

He is Aayan.
