 After
the death of her parents and brother, heiress Karina Rangel
suffers a nervous breakdown and wakes up to find herself in a
mental institution, locked up by her stepsister Mariana, who
wants control of her money. German, Karina's faithful
manservant, hits upon a plan to free her of her sister's
guardianship: marriage. With the help of two lawyers, a
marriage of convenience is secretly arranged between Karina
and Mauricio Gallardo, a spoiled young man whose family has
fallen on hard times. She would get her freedom and he would
get the money to bail out his family's fortunes.
Karina, however, is told only that Mauricio is marrying her to
help her out, and after being given his picture, believing he
must have a heart of gold, she falls in love with him.
Mauricio, on the other hand, is never told that the rich
heiress who wants to "buy" a husband is captive in a
mental institution. In fact, the only reason he has agreed to
the marriage is because his girlfriend, the beautiful and
ambitious Mayte Monteverde, rejected him upon finding out his
family no longer had money. Already furious, Mauricio is
appalled at Karina's rundown appearance and bitterly resents
her, even as he says "I do". Mauricio leaves town in
despair, and one year later, his ugly duckling wife has turned
into a swan, but one who now bitterly resents him...
