Kim Jennie, an ordinary girl, attends to the most prestigious school in the country the "Seoul International University" by a scholarship with her friends Bae Irene and Im Nayeon. This is a private school established exclusively for rich students, where she encounters F5, an exclusive group comprised of the five heir of the wealthiest family of the country - Manoban Limario the leader of the group, Kim Jisoo, Kang Seulgi, Yoo Jeongyeon, and Moon Byul. Their families are the founder of the school and nobody dares to cross them. If a student gets on the F5's bad side, he/she gets a joker card and is bullied and driven out of school. Jennie Kim hopes to pass her days quietly - without drawing any attention to herself - but one day, she stands up to Manoban Limario in defense of her friend. The next day, Jennie gets the dreaded joker card notice. Even though she is harassed, Jennie decides to keep going to school because she is a "tough weed". She declares war right back on the F5. Her resolve gets the attention of her crush Kim Jisoo and oddly enough, rouses romantic feelings in her worst enemy, Manoban Limario.
