Doing as others told me, I was blind

Then I left everyone, myself as well
Then I found everyone, myself as well

She's an innocent face with a fake name, a hurricane behind the calm facade. When Brekhna Khanzada becomes Leyla to outrun the demons of her past, the present surprises her with a beast in the form of Burq Al Aziz-- everything she hates molded together into a man. To make things complicated, a mistake called wedding ties them both together, each seeking their own personal gains. When their perspectives and personalities clash, both realize opposites not always attract.
Her husband becomes just another hindrance in Leyla's mission of avenging her murdered brother and chasing down her dreams, while his wife is nothing to Burq but a doll to please himself.
Three months later after Burq loses his memory in an accident, Leyla has a chance to change the rules and turn the game. But how long can she play tricks to tame the beast? Or will she actually turn his heart into gold?

"What if I say I love lightning storms in blackened nights more, would you believe me then?"
His lips pull back into a grin of his own, displaying his perfect set of teeth, but his irises shade melancholic. Every breath he takes feels charged-- the air has a spark. Yet a piece of his heart remains missing, making him feel incomplete.

His agile fingers reach out to graze the back of her hand up to her wrist, holding it gently but firmly. He lightly tugs her towards himself.
"Stay, Leyla. Don't leave me."
