Nalan is a young, beautiful and innocent girl who works as an architect in a big hotel.
Her mother Feride is a conservative and obsessive old woman; she controls Nalan's every move, what she wears and who she sees.
We find out the reason for Feride's bitter attitude: Nalan is actually her granddaughter - her mother Sema was a teenager who died while giving birth to Nalan, and Feride has never forgiven the baby for "killing" her own daughter.
Sedat, a young and good looking man, is the successful heir of the big Koroglu hotel.
He lives in the family mansion, where his father Rafet has an eye on all the family's spending with the assistance of Tako, a member of the household staff who spies on the family to learn if anyone breaks Rafet's rules.
Rafet wants Sedat to marry a nice girl and to forget about his undignified affair with Cana, a married mother of two.
Sedat's sister Selen steps in and tells her parents that she has met a nice girl, Nalan, and they might be a perfect match.
After meeting for a dinner date, Sedat brings Nalan to his own apartment, where she sees women's cosmetics in the bathroom, and a secret room, that suggests to her that this man is not who she thinks he is at all...
In the Season 2 premiere: It's the morning after the wedding and Rafet is already pushing the newlyweds for grandchildren.

Guy Fieri sends four talented chefs running through the aisles in a high-stakes, high skills, grocery store cooking competition.
From students to grannies to celebrities, the competition is always fierce.
Each episode sees the chefs hit by real-world challenges like finding workarounds when all the essential ingredients are suddenly "out-of-stock," or having to create a masterpiece when they can only cook with "5 items or less" or on a $10 budget.
In the end, the food does the talking, as the last chef standing has the chance to make some serious cash.
In the Season 15 premiere, "Spice City": Flavortown turns into Spice City when four chefs who like their food with some heat fight for the title of Spice Master.
First, the chefs must flip the ingredients of bread pudding into a spicy high-end dinner.
Next, chefs play Spree Ball to determine which pepper they must feature in their signature spicy dish.
Then, the final two must make a spicy guilty pleasure using four ingredients with pepper in their name, with the hottest chef winning up to $20,000.
