Vivienne, the neglected‑by‑family eldest heiress, is publicly humiliated at a shoddy blind date set up by her stepmother and makes a graceful exit. Seeing her stepsister Mia finalize her engagement to Ethan and her late mother‑owned dance studio about to be seized, she vows revenge and to take back her inheritance, choosing to approach Ethan on her own. Little does she know Ethan has loved her secretly for ten years. He once nursed her through grave injuries, but she mistook him for someone else. Pretending to accept the engagement, Ethan lays his plans. Caught in mutual scheming and fiery push‑and‑pull, the two slowly grow attached. A banquet scandal blows the wealthy‑family conflict wide open, and the high‑stakes game of love and hatred officially begins.
