Synopsis
With "the struggle for true love and success" as its core theme, this drama tells the story of a chaebol heiress hiding her identity to find true love, and a capable young entrepreneur overcoming corporate tyranny and internal betrayal to achieve success.

Kim Hong-ji is the only daughter of Synthera, the world's largest biotech group. Although she possesses a background that everyone envies, she dreams of true love. Exhausted by her father's worsening health and a forced marriage, she hides her identity and goes to work disguised as an ordinary part-time employee. Then she meets the man, Park Hyun-woo. A young CEO who has staked his life on developing a new drug for rare diseases. He has neither a chaebol nor a background, but leads his company solely on his tenacity and competence. However, the company stands on the brink of collapse due to a combination of financial difficulties, betrayal by a former lover, and an internal traitor. Hong-ji joins Hyeon-woo's company as a secretary and grows closer to him, and Hyeon-woo gradually opens his heart to her as he relies on her; yet, between the two, there exists a fatal secret involving a massive stake in a "100 billion won investment" and a hidden identity.
