However, Cinar and Lale fall in love and get married soon. They have a daughter also named Lale. Soon after, Lale (mother) dies which leaves Cinar devastated. Yasmin who has been interested in Cinar before Lale's accident takes the opportunity to comfort Cinar and they sleep together. However, Cinar knows that this is wrong and needs to stay away from Yasmin.

Cinar goes to a friend's wedding and meets a beautiful but sad girl, Toprak, who is devastated over her love's interest marriage to her sister. Cinar finds solace in her and asks her to marry him as a marriage of convenience, which should help Cinar stay away from Yasmin and help Toprak heal her heart.

Toprak accepts the proposal and they start their platonic relationship. Yasmin is extremely jealous of Toprak and often reminds her of her poor background as well as her divorce.

Yasmin gets pregnant with Cinar's child. She decides to keep the baby despite everyone's disapproval. The baby is born but has a unique medical issue that can only be solved by the bone marrow of a sibling. Lale's bone marrow does not match.

Cinar and Toprak eventually fall in love, but Yasmin will do all in her power to sabotage their relationship. She finds Toprak's ex-husband and bribes him with money, so that together they can set up a trap for Toprak. Meanwhile, Toprak gets pregnant, but Yasmin manages to put a doubt in who the father is. Circumstances put Toprak in jail, and she ends up leaving Cinar. She goes to a family who accept her and a boy in the family, Ahmet, wants to marry her.

Cinar is now lost without Toprak and tries to reconcile with her. Toprak divorces Cinar and hides her pregnancy from him. She makes Cinar think she got an abortion. Even though they still love each other, Toprak tries to move on and to keep Cinar away marries Ahmet. With pressure from the family Cinar marries Yasmin, even though he is madly in love with Toprak and is at a loss. Even though he is married, Yasmin thinks she has won, but Cinar refuses to even touch her. When he finally decides that he has completely lost Toprak and will have no other choice but try to make a life with Yasmin, Sitki shows up at Cinar's office with a recording that will change everything.
