Plot

Aman Junaid Khan and Roshni Ahmed are individuals who are poles apart but their lives are connected in the most extraordinary way; through fate and magic.
Aman is a Nawab, who is believed to be possessed by a Jinn, while Roshni is a Tawaif with the heart of an angel. Parveen is ill due to the Jinn's magic and can be protected only if Aman marries an Ayaana; a woman with the heart of an angel. Salma pretends to be sick, forcing Roshni to marry Aman for money. Aman misunderstands Roshni to be a gold digger. He starts detesting her and gives her a cheque in exchange of marrying him. Aman and Roshni get married.
Roshni feels a connection with Aman but is hurt by his indifferent behaviour. Aman's brother, Kabir Junaid Khan makes his entry. He tries to kill Aman, but Roshni dies while saving Aman. Aman realises his feelings for Roshni and is left heartbroken.
Kabir brings Roshni back to life but keeps her under his control, aiming to separate her from Aman. Kabir's hold on Roshni gets destroyed when Aman stabs her with a magical dagger. Parveen is revealed to be evil who wants to use her sons to become the queen of jinns. Parveen kills Kabir but fails in killing Aman.
Aliya, Aman's former girlfriend, returns with a baby and tries to separate Aman and Roshni. The baby is revealed to be Kabir's and Aliya is revealed to be a Haiwana. Parveen tries to sacrifice the baby to regain her lost powers, but Aman saves the child. Roshni tries to expose her, but fails. Aliya attacks Parveen resulting in Parveen going in a coma. Aman, believing it's Roshni's fault, asks her to leave the house.

Aman receives news about Parveen's kidney failure. He destroys Roshni's bakery believing her to be the reason of Parveen's condition. Roshni is devastated. Aman offers her a job for her to repay the loan. Due to Salma's worsening health, Roshni accepts the job and works as his secretary.
As the two come closer again, an intoxicated Aman reveals to Roshni that he tried to hate her but couldn't. They consummate their relationship, and Roshni becomes pregnant. In order to save Parveen, Roshni secretly donates her kidney. Kabir returns with deadlier powers. He joins hands with Laila, the red moon princess who tries to harm Roshni and Aman's twins. Laila curses Roshni that she will die before the next full moon. Chandni, laila's twin sister gives Aman 'nau chand' in order to save Roshni. Aman succeeds in saving Roshni eight times. But during ninth time, an arrow shot by red moon soldier stabs Roshni which leads to her miscarriage. However he manages to save Roshni but dies instead.
