Her father, Rıza Yılmaz (Metin Çekmez), is a doorman in Etiler, an upper-class neighborhood of Istanbul. Her mother, Zehra Yılmaz (Vahide Gördüm), is a housekeeper. Feriha is able to secure a full scholarship to a private university, where she poses as a rich girl. She meets a handsome and rich young man, Emir Sarrafoğlu (Çağatay Ulusoy) at her university. Feriha lies about her life and family background and Emir falls in love with her not knowing who she really is. She also falls in love with him and is trapped in her own lies.

Feriha learns of Gunce's pregnancy (Koray's child by her) and promises to keep it a secret. While helping Koray and Gunce hide the pregnancy and the subsequent abortion she is forced to lie to Emir. Hande has pictures of Koray and Feriha published in a magazine.

He spies on her interactions with Emir and snaps after seeing their display of affection. The season ends with Feriha's mother getting shot by Halil, Feriha's ex-fiancé.

In the second season, Emir discovers Feriha's lies through the plan set up by Cansu. He breaks up with her and decides to seek revenge by renting an apartment in the building where Feriha lives in the basement. They remain separated for a long time. On the New Year's Eve, Feriha gets kidnapped by Halil who decides to marry her by force. However, Emir saves her from Halil's trap and take a bullet for her. After the kidnap, Emir and Feriha both realise their immense love for each other. They forgive each other and get reconciled. When Feriha's family gets to know about her relationship with Emir, her father gets furious and decides to send her back to the village. On the way to village, Emir comes and takes Feriha along with him. Soon, they get married and Feriha's surname Yilmaz turns into Feriha Sarrafoglu (Emir's surname). However, they both decide to reveal their marriage to their family at the right time. Eventually, Cansu tries to kill Feriha and Emir. When Feriha and Emir are taken to the hospital, their marriage gets revealed to their family. Both Yilmaz and Sarrafoğlu families get furious and shocked on knowing about the marriage. So, Emir and Feriha have to live the hard life due to their family's disappointment. Later in the story due to a misunderstanding, Feriha leaves Emir and goes to the U.S. with Levent, where she divorces him in absence. She returns to Istanbul after 3 years when Emir is getting engaged to Ece to protect her from Yavuz. Soon, the misunderstanding between Feriha and Emir gets cleared up and they get married for a second time. Alas, that the season ends with Feriha Sarrofoglu getting fatally shot by Ece (but everyone assumes that Halil shot her) at her wedding ceremony and dies in Emir's arms.

The third season talks about another beautiful girl name - Zulal Yilzam (Beril Kaykar) who is a kind of sister to Feriha. Zulal was breastfed by zehra when she was a baby. Zulal also falls in love with Emir as Emir became hopeless and lonely without Feriha. Gradually, Zulal falls in love with Emir. While Emir proposes to Günes (Gizem Karaca) who is Yuvuz's younger sister.

Günes accepts the engagement proposal of Yuvuz's right hand man Engin. Engin tries to create fight between Yuvuz and Emir, so that he can be with Günes, he breaks the club of Emir where Günes is working as an architect remodelling. He also tries to get Yuvuz shot. Sanem who is living with Yuvuz, collects all the bad things Yuvuz has done and gives it to Engin. At the end of last episode, Emir himself visits Yuvuz to sort it out with him.

According to Nilüfer Pembecioğlu, Feriha is a symbol of class anxiety in Turkey; though having a university education, she is forced to lie in order to get ahead. Pembecioğlu lists it as one of the most successful Turkish television serials and being shown around the world; it was especially popular in Bulgaria,[1] and was aired in Russia[2] and India and Pakistan as well. In Pakistan, it aired on Urdu 1 dubbed in Urdu, the national language of Pakistan. In India it was dubbed in Hindi, the official language of India, on Zindagi which is owned by ZEEL. It became a huge success. The reason behind its success is a powerful story and natural acting by all the artistes.[3][4]
