It's about a girl, the heir of poor, who is angry to the world she lives in. Furious with her life condition, upset for being helpless, envy the people who look like having perfect life she used to dream of: new nice clothes and dresses, branded bags and shoes, hi-tech gadgets, hangout with friends every weekend so she can share the moments in her social media account, car is equipped with personal driver. She wished to escape but instead it had brought her to meet one of the people whom she is jealous of. Time by time, she finally understands it is not always something sparkling is beautiful.

The children of conglomerates or at least rich people she used to envy are actually they are not happy as they seem. Burden as the heirs had attached their shoulders since they were born, organized gestures by their parents, ideals which must conform with their parents' wishes, serious quarrels between siblings, and of course marriage which has been determined. Parents succumbing to the children's desire for the happiness of them is not applicable to the children of Chaebol.

Tan is the second son of Empire Group, the biggest company which dominates almost the whole economy aspects in Korea. Beside he is a rich boy, he has perfect appearance. Tall and handsome. But he is lonely. His older brother who considering him as the rival as being the main heir, forces him to go to the States. Moreover, his status as the love child can't make him to be son of his real mother. Till he finds Eun Sang, a girl crying alone in the roadside with a mess suitcase.

Love begins to grow between them. But with Tan's status as one of the heirs of Empire Group, it's really not easy for Eun Sang, the daughter of a mute housekeeper, to be together with Tan. Tan is engaged to Rachel and the barrier like being higher as Young Do, the boy ever be Tan's best friend also like Eun Sang. What worst? Eun Sang's mother is working for Empire Family.

Though Tan knows Young Do also likes Eun Sang. And of course the twists and turns the Chaebols should have done to maintain their conglomeratic dynasty.

It's not all about rivalry and ascendancy. There's a strong friendship among those children. Love which finally grows between them that never be thinkable before. Between a boy who once tried to suicide because of the depression of being forced to follow his parents' desire, something he never put his heart in, with a girl who starts to accept she can not force the boy she really loves reciprocates her heart.
