Rani is an ambitious and naive girl from the village of Ballia who comes to Jaipur to fulfill her dream of becoming an engineer and meet her father, Ramadheer, who worked as the chief servant for the Rajawat family, a royal family in Jaipur. Rajeshwari Singh Rajawat "Rani Sa" is the arrogant matriarch of the family who demands perfection in everything. Ramadheer is arrested on the charge of driving a car over 4 people, while drunk. Rani is forced to quit her dreams and replace her father as the chief servant. She is also determined to prove him innocent and tries to bail him out but in vain. Later, it's revealed that Rani Sa is sore towards her adopted son, Veer, cause he was the son of Rani Sa's husband Digvijay, and another woman, with whom Digvijay had an affair with. Veer's marriage is fixed with a rich girl, Kiara, whom Rani Sa chose for him. Rani Sa's daughter, Nandini, is also soon to marry the prince of Gwalior, Jay, who wants to marry her only cause of her property and greed. He also has a mistress, Champa, who works as a servant, for the Rajawats. Jay is expelled from the palace by Veer, when he tries to molest Rani. Soon, Rani discovers that Veer caused the accident and trapped her father.
To avenge his humiliation, Jay plays a scheme. He calls Rani and poses as an outsider who has got evidence in favour of Ramadheer. He asks Rani to meet him in a temple to get the evidence, a temple where only married women are allowed. Rani, who was unaware of this, visits the temple where Jay tries to molest her again. However, when Jay sees Veer in the temple, he runs away and locks both of them in a room. The temple priests discover Veer and Rani in the room and attempt to kill them for breaking the rules. In a bid to save Rani's life, Veer marries Rani. Rani Sa gets enraged and keeps creating rifts between Veer and Rani. The whole Rajawat family, including Veer, refuses to accept Rani. Rani Sa's son Vikram and Digvijay's mother Rajmata are the only ones in the family who support Rani. Rani Sa leaves the house in anger and sends her sister, Padmini, to humilate and expel Rani.
Jay re-enters in the house and his alliance is again fixed with Nandini. Gradually, Rani wins the heart of everyone, including Padmini. Though Rani disliked Veer for trapping her father but still she helps him to expose Jay and throw him out, and protect Nandini from an unhappy marriage. Rani and Veer fall in love. Rani wishes to go to Ballia to fill the form of her exam and Veer agrees. Rani Sa returns and asks Veer to leave Rani permanently in Ballia. Veer and Rani reach Ballia where Veer is showered with love and king-like treatment by Rani's grandmother, which makes it difficult for him to leave Rani. Rani's bestfriend, Birju who was secretly in love with her, returns from Dubai and is heartbroken to see that Rani married Veer. Though Veer initially leaves Rani but returns to take her back when a group of village women assault and taunt her for her husband leaving her. When they return to Jaipur, Rani Sa pretends to have accepted Rani, to play the victim card infront of Veer. Rani gets busy with her father's case as it could even lead to his hanging, if proper steps aren't taken. Rani Sa creates several rifts between Veer and Rani.

She starts treating Rani as her servant like before and makes her work. Rani Sa gets released from jail and comes to Goa. She decides to throw Rani out of Veer's life as she believes that Rani was the one to give evidence against her. Rani Sa makes Veer believe that Rani and Birju are having an affair.

Ranvijay is Digvijay's elder brother and Rani Sa's ex-husband who left her abruptyly after their marriage, leaving her pregnant with Veer and worsening her health. Digvijay married Rani Sa and hid Veer on doctor's recommendation as it could worsen Rani Sa's health and remind her of Ranvijay.
Rani Sa apologizes to Veer for treating him like an outsider all these years but he gets angry on her. Ranvijay enters the house and starts plotting against Rani to kill her, when he sees that Rani wants Veer to unite with Rani Sa again. When Rani discovers this, Ranvijay confesses that he married someone else after leaving Rani Sa, and he never regretted for his actions and has returned to snatch Veer from everyone and take him away with him. Rani learns that Ranvijay has kidnapped Digvijay. Ranvijay pushes Rani off a building who is presumed to be dead by him. But Rani survives and enters the house, disguised as an old maidservant to expose Ranvijay. Meanwhile, Rani's uncle and his daughter, Kajri, too arrive there. Kajri gets impressed by Vikram's money and decides to marry him. When Ranvijay kidnaps Rani and tries to kill her, Veer saves her and Ranvijay is exposed. Rani Sa's step-sister, Vijya, snatches Rajawats' property and throws them out of their house.
Vijya's son, Suraj, falls in love with Rani on the road when she saves him from getting hit by a car. Rani enters the house as Suraj's tutor and helps the Rajawats to regain their property. Soon, Rani is exposed. Vijya and Suraj kidnap Veer and make the whole Rajawat family their servants, except Rani. They force Rani to marry Suraj. However, on Rani and Suraj's wedding day, the police arrive and arrest Suraj and Vijya. The Rajawats get their house and property back. Rani Sa finally accepts Rani. Jay gets exposed infront of everyone and Nandini leaves him for his abusive behaviour towards her. Jay gets arrested. Vikram and Kiara confess their love.

Everyone attends the wedding where Veer-Rani and Vikram-Kiara remarry. Finally, Veer and Rani are reunited and the show ends on a happy note.
Initially, Anushka Sen was cast for the role of Rani. She left the series three weeks after the launch claiming health issues while the producers cited that she was unprofessional and threw tantrums on the set.[2] Anushka was replaced by Megha Ray. Tannaz Irani tested positive for COVID-19[3] but resumed shooting after she recovered. Megha Ray had tested positive for COVID-19 and she is staying at home quarantining.[4] She eventually tested negative and she continued working. Tannaz Irani was replaced by Vivana Singh as Rajeshwari Singh Rajawat. Irani said, "It was a random call; they told me that I was required to shoot every day, as my character is pivotal. They went on to add that they have thought it through and since I can’t travel to Goa, they are replacing me. I am shocked and confused".[5] The show telecasted its last episode on 16 October 2021.
