Her stylish and gorgeous look made her pass out (status seeking scheme). And since Bihter does not know what love is, she was fascinated by the advantages of being the lady of the biggest mansion of the Bosphorus in the face of Adnan Bey's magnificence, and she craved not knowing that she would bring her own end to this marriage (status seeking scheme). While Adnan Bey's mansion was dazzling with its splendor, Bihter was also given the duty of motherhood. Bihter, who is also a candidate for the motherhood of Nihal and Bülent, has established a very turbulent relationship with Nihal, who is 8 years younger than her. At first, he brought elegance and elegance to this house; she even tried hard to win Nihal's heart. In fact, she played her role so well that the fragile and noble spirit Nihal, who looks like a delicate flower, was closer to Bihter than her father for the first year and built insurmountable walls between her and her father (Nihal is angry with her father: angry child mod). However, at the end of the first year, things got out of hand. Seeing that he slowly took everything he owned from Bihter's hand infuriated him. At first his only father... then his most precious human brother... Both of them are very happy with Bihter. (by loved ones) He felt abandoned.

An important name of the household is Behlül. Behlül, whose father is a civil servant, lives as one of the household members in the house of his uncle Adnan Bey. He is a fun-loving and romantic man who uses all the possibilities of Adnan Bey (disconnected mode). Her biggest dream is to create bunches of flowers she added to her garden of love, to decorate all the edges of her room with souvenir flowers, and to put an immaculate lily, which represents chastity, whiteness and cleanliness, in the middle of all these flowers at the end of the day. (high standards scheme) These sentences are the summary of Behlül's life. nature. Behlül, who likes to play brave love games, praised his aunt's only brother with the impulse of these thoughts and feelings at the 1st anniversary of the marriage of his beloved uncle and his elegant and magnificent aunt. However, Peyker is an honorable woman who is married and has children. Peyker made a move to send Behlül away from him to his mother. Behlül, who has a place for every flower in her garden, started a pleasant conversation with Ms. Firdevs, and even created a temporary youth elixir effect on Ms. Firdevs. Bihter is the only person who witnessed all these attitudes of Behlül.
Bihter is very tired at the end of this day. Behlül's demeanor during the day made him realize an important need he did not want to see. Bihter immediately went to her room that night, felt the lust, passion and love hunger in her relationship, and her insides were on fire. yourself She has been feeling this feeling since the beginning of her marriage, which makes me feel all alone. For him, his wife is like a beast that 'smashes and kills its prey. Every time his wife touches his body, he starts to feel cold and even trembling, being with his wife now makes him sick, and it makes him feel that his love is stolen every time (psychosomatic mode). Although she loves her husband as a human being, she resists not fulfilling her womanly duties, and even dreams of escaping, melting or even dying when she cannot resist (the feelings she experiences when she surrenders to her husband against her will: detached sheltered mode). Even if the mansion he dreams of is the master of speech, he cannot feel himself to belong here with the lack of not having the spirit of the lean (feeling of not belonging to the mansion: social isolation scheme, schema submission). During this whole process, stepmotherhood at a young age began to be a burden to her. He loves Nihal, but is sure that he will not be loved no matter what he does (belief that he will not be loved: emotional deprivation scheme). Even though she tried hard to reach her, she could not reach Nihal from the protection ring created by the behavior of the household as if she was an unwanted person (thinking that she is not wanted by people: defectiveness scheme, scheme delivery). But he and Bülent are not like that, they have common points such as laughing with him. And she also feels that she is loved by him. As time passed, Nihal started to become the biggest problem in this house for Bihter. She doesn't want her household to blame her because Nihal's ups and downs are the cause of the disasters caused by her weak nerves. That's why he always felt he had to be cautious (manipulative mode). Seeing lust and passion in Behlül's behavior towards Peyker turned into anguished sadness at not being able to have these feelings (his sadness when he feels that his needs will never be met: hurt child mode). Although Bihter could not even admit it to herself, she was wildly desired by someone like Behlül and wanted to reach the pleasure of lust and passion. Although her womanly desires are not satisfied, she will not be like her mother and will not be unfaithful to her husband! (ann Demanding parent who says that he should not cheat on his husband like his wife – the conflict of the impulsive child mode who wants to be attracted to love, passion and lust) He found himself in 's room (impulsive child mode). Maybe it was jealousy as a result of Behlül's approach to Peyker and his mother, Firdevs Hanım, that gave him this courage. Maybe it was her youth and beauty fading in unhappiness. He went there once. One is fire and the other is gunpowder! As long as they could stay side by side, they could control themselves, but at the end of the day, Bihter came out of the room, burning with guilt (punishing himself for his mistake, feeling guilty; punishment scheme - punishing parent mode). He had done what he didn't want to do, and he was fascinated by Behlül. While she didn't want to be like her mother, she suddenly started doing what her mother did. Those passionate moments he lived had now turned into inner voices in his mind saying that his body and soul had been polluted (thinking that his body and soul were polluted: the imperfection scheme). And to the unbearable pain of his infidelity to Adnan Bey... He was always on the alert. He thought that everyone knew about this ugliness and talked behind his back (the skepticism scheme). He believed that only if this dirt was cleaned with an innocent love, then he would be freed from his sin. The state of pollution that he couldn't get out of it lasted until he got close to Behlül again. At the end of the meetings that became more frequent, his heart was now beating for Behlül, just like his body. And he started to risk everything to keep this passionate love alive.
As for Behlül, she had never experienced such passion or excitement before in her life. Bihter had completely blown her mind. He loved his uncle even though he loved him, but he was also sure that one day he would be deceived by such a young and beautiful woman. "Why shouldn't I be this lucky person?" (the scheme of righteousness), he was easing his conscience. Living in a love that is in front of everyone and no one knows, is in all his veins.
