She decided to consult a plastic surgeon, believing that altering her looks could lead to a brighter future. The surgeon, a stunning young woman named Jeong Ah Mi, asked Seo Young Ji for a favor. Jeong Ah Mi was supposed to go on a blind date with Kim Jun Woo, but she had no desire to attend. Therefore, she requested Seo Young Ji to pretend to take her place. Seo Young Ji agreed, intending to dissuade the guy, but to her surprise, the blind date went incredibly well, and the two began a relationship. Complicating matters further was Choi Do Kyeong, a determined social climber from a humble background who was willing to do anything to secure a wealthy marriage. He dismissed Seo Young Ji due to her financial status and focused his efforts on pursuing Jeong Ah Mi.
