Hyeong-woo is a man who lives for revenge, as he vows to take revenge against those who drove his father to death when he was still a teenager.

Despite facing a cruel fate where she is framed for crimes she did not commit, and left a widow after her husband dies at a young age, Eun-soo proves to be a strong woman as she strives to be a good single mother to her young daughter.

Initially known by the name Sang-yi, Il-joo was born to her father's mistress. After her foster mother's death, II-joo is brought under the care of Hyeong-woo's family, who raise her as a close relative. She falls in love with Hyeong-woo, but gets extremely jealous when her close friend Eun-soo and Hyeong-woo fall for each other.
