Her foster parents initially treated her kindly but  changed after they were able to conceive a child of their own. She was eventually sent abroad after a traumatic incident threatened the Lee Family's reputation in high society. Yet soon after, the family's business takes a turn for the worse and Miyeon is abandoned completely.

Now an adult, she returns to her home country and meets Lu Minzhe (Parker James), seemingly for the first time. The  handsome and successful CEO of a conglomerate does not hesitate in using shameless means to chase Miyeon once he realizes that his feelings toward her is love. However, happiness appears to be always a step away as Lu Minzhe also harbors some secrets that are tied to Miyeon's past. 

Meanwhile Jesse Evans, a strikingly attractive model and old college friend, unexpectedly confesses that he has been in love with Miyeon for the past 7 years. Jesse who came from a privileged background has spent the past few years working hard to be recognized by Miyeon as himself and not as the heir of the Evans Family.

As both men vie for her affection, the beautiful yet apathetic Miyeon learns love is a sweet and wonderful thing.

Get ready for a love story between an outwardly warm but cold & depressed protagonist and her outwardly cold but doting handsome male lead.
