After marrying into a wealthy and powerful chaebol family (considered by some as Korea's modern-day "royalty"), Kim In-sook's (Yum Jung-ah) life becomes a living hell. Looked down on by her in-laws as a gold-digging intruder, she's ignored and treated as a shadow for years. When her husband is killed in a helicopter accident, her mother-in-law (Kim Young-ae) takes In-sook's son away. Enter Han Ji-hoon (Ji Sung), the powerhouse new lawyer of the family, who knows In-sook from the past. Ji-hoon becomes determined to put a stop to the oppressive situation she's been in for 18 years.
When In-sook finally decides that she has had enough and launches a bold plan to take over the family company, Ji-hoon will be there at her side, no matter what it costs him. The two begin to play a dangerous double game, but in the midst of their battle for survival, their hearts are drawn together in a passion that could cost them everything.
