Storyline

Marife, who lived alone in a mountain house in the Black Sea region for forty years, was abandoned by Ilyas, whom she had fallen in love with in her youth, due to an illness she contracted while making plans to marry him. This illness was a plan prepared by Yahya, who secretly loved Marife, to reveal Ilyas's true face. While Marife lost her beauty with the poisoned honey she was fed, Ilyas's love ended with that beauty. While Ilyas practically ran away from where he lived, Marife retreated into a furious seclusion. Forty years later, Ilyas's son Ateş brought his father's body to Trabzon. His father's will was to be buried in Marife's garden. However, Marife's response to this will was full of anger.
