Growing up in a poor family, Min Joo finally lands a job as a news correspondent with JBC Networks after two previous failed attempts. She works hard to gain recognition as a reporter but faces a career setback due to a stroke of bad luck. With strong support from Seok Jin, she is able to get her career back on track. Although she has feelings for Seok Jin, she is reluctant to date him because he is a single dad with one daughter. Meanwhile, Joon Sung, the scion of a wealthy family, enters her life and proposes marriage to her after a brief courtship. She becomes the envy of her friends when she marries him because her life is like a modern version of the Cinderella fairy tale. Her life as the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family is wonderful at first but she becomes disillusioned with her marriage when her in-laws begin to look down on her and smother her personal life. Against the wishes of her in-laws, she returns to work as a news correspondent and soon learns that the adopted son of her brother-in-law is actually the son of her husband from a previous relationship. Shocked at this revelation, she realizes that she loved Joon Sung for his family wealth and not for who he was. After contemplating on what to do, she decides that getting a divorce is her only option. Joon Sung, however, agrees to part ways in an amicable divorce without telling her that the adopted son of his brother is actually the posthumous child of his second brother...
In the meantime, she runs into Joon Sung. While he doesn't give her a good impression the first time she slowly warms up him and is astonished when she finally finds out that he is the son of Yoo Sung Group. Throughout this story she will come face to face with two kinda love, from Joon Sung and from Suk Jin.

While he normally wouldn't think twice about such an odd encounter, he picks up her diary/calendar and realizes what a spunky woman she is. He is determined to get to know her personally and it is during this time that the two fall in love.
As he gets to know Min Joo he slowly realizes he has feelings for her! But he doesn't let this treat her any differently than others. He gives her a hard time, but only because he wants her to learn from her mistakes.
