Mihrimah, like any young woman, dreamed of marrying for love. But, at the will of her mother, she became the wife of Rustem - Pasha.
It would seem that Mihrimakh was measured with the fate prepared for her, but Aunt Fatma often came to visit her, who, not obtrusively, but so beautifully talked about youth and love.
Whether Fatma cared about the feelings of her niece - I don't think. It was important for her to destroy Rustem, and if Mihrimakh divorced him, then Rustem would lose the influence he had.
A young and handsome Persian prince Shehzade Elkara Merzu arrives in the capital. And Fatma - the sultan is trying to draw Mihrimah's attention to the prince.
Elkara Merzu, on the advice of Fatma, gives Mihrimah a beautiful decoration in the form of a laurel, which makes her heart jump.
Later Mihrimah receives a letter full of tenderness. The letter mentioned the laurel, so Mihrimah decided that it was written by a Persian prince.
Mihrimakh decided to answer the letter and Rustem Pasha found her doing this. The sultana, tired of her husband's endless jealousy, decides to divorce him and this time her intentions are serious.
Now that her heart is beating again, no one has the right to tell her - not even her beloved mother. Her soul and heart require love and she will do anything to defend her right to happiness.
Rustem Pasha orders to find out who the daredevil is, that he dared to write love letters to his wife. And I found out - the letter was written by Fatma - the Sultan.
Upon learning of this, Mihrimah - the sultan felt humiliated and decided to take revenge on Fatma - the sultan.
