Warning: Cutest rom-com ahead.
The male lead is a dangerously charming, narcissistic kamina you will ever find. Reader discretion advised.
Prem Khatri, the quintessential berozgar (unemployed), juggles two main occupations- a part-time job searching for real employment and a full-time job enduring his parents' incessant taunts.
Money is his obsession. He worships money, dreams of money, and lives for money. Unfortunately for him, money despises him and always stays out of reach. Prem knows there are two ways to earn money- through hard work or by being a money-digger. Naturally, he opts for the latter. Why? Because it's easier and he's smart as fuck.
So, when a wealthy lady suddenly crashes into his life like a storm, he does what any self-respecting money-digger would do.
He wife her up.
But soon, Prem realizes that along with money issues, he now has Biwi issues too.
As if that weren't enough to make his life hell, he also has to deal with a miniature version of his wife, a little girl he despises to the core but who has him wrapped around her little finger, much to his dismay.
Embark on the rollercoaster journey of Prem Khatri- the opportunistic money digger; Radhika Arora- the formidable boss; and Pari Arora- the mischievous little troublemaker.

All she ever wanted was a family of her own-someone to belong to, someone to cherish her. Just when she thought peace was within reach, life threw her into yet another storm. This time, it came wrapped in wedding vows. When her cousin ran away on the day of the wedding, Amulya was pushed forward as the replacement bride-a desperate cover-up for the family's honor. No one asked if she wanted this. No one cared. 𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐡 𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝 had everything-money, power, a name people respected... or feared. But he still felt hollow, like something essential was missing. A void he couldn't name. Until he saw her. Standing alone in a bridal lehenga, being accused of betrayal, while her relatives played the victims with practiced lies. And then came that voice-manipulative, dripping with guilt: "Aise mat kijiye... kya hoga is bachi ka? Ab kaun karega isse shaadi?" He knew the tears were fake. But her silence was real. Her fear? Even more so. And before logic could catch up with impulse, his voice rang out across the chaotic venue: "Main karunga." A marriage neither of them wanted. A connection neither of them expected. A truth that could shatter everything. ❝He fell first. He fell harder.
