Lee Soo-jung is at the end of her rope when her boyfriend leaves her and their newborn baby due to financial problems.

Her ultimate goal is to enter a loveless marriage for wealth and fame, and her target is Park Min-joon, the eldest son of the chairman of TNC Group.

Min-joon grows up to become a cynical, overly serious workaholic who has no interest in women and doesn't find them worth his time, but who hides a lonely soul craving for connection.

When he eventually finds out that Rena had orchestrated the whole ploy to seduce him so that she could someday take over TNC Group, he feels shocked and betrayed.

Nursing a broken heart after her short, failed relationship with Jae-joon, she flies to Korea to attend her grandmother's funeral.
