Cha Eun-sang is a hardworking, ordinary girl from a poor family. She lives with her mother, who works as a housekeeper for the wealthy Kim family. Eun-sang's life takes a dramatic turn when she decides to go to the United States to look for her estranged sister, who left for the U.S. years ago.
In the U.S., Eun-sang encounters Kim Tan, who has been living a reclusive life. Their chance meeting sparks a series of events that lead them back to South Korea. Kim Tan returns to Korea to confront his family, while Eun-sang becomes entangled in the lives of the elite students at Jeguk High School.
At Jeguk High, Kim Tan and Eun-sang's paths cross again. Kim Tan's presence at the school causes tension among the students, as he is set to inherit the family business, and his engagement to the wealthy Rachel Yoo (played by Kim Ji-won) complicates matters further. However, Kim Tan's growing feelings for Eun-sang and her budding friendships with other students, like Choi Young-do (played by Kim Woo-bin), add to the drama's intrigue.
