What if her life took an unexpected turn for the better?
Nari Tuan was brought up in such an enchanted childhood. She always had her mom, dad, her two older brothers, and her older sister by her side whenever she needed them. However, everything in her life came crashing down once her mother got sick and eventually passed away when she was in middle school. After two years, her father remarried a wicked woman who has two daughters and a son. After a few months of the marriage, her eldest brother Mark moved out to pursue his dream of becoming a K-Pop idol, her other brother Joey moved back to the states to study abroad, and her older sister Tammy moved back to the states to start a family of her own, leaving Nari alone with her stepfamily. Unfortunately, not long after her siblings moved out, Nari's father committed suicide due to the debt that was being held against his company. But what her father didn't know was that he left his beloved daughter alone with a lady that constantly abused her. What's worst is that she is getting bullied at school as well. However, along the way, her best friend, Jung Wooseok, comforts her throughout everything. Will she be able to overcome everything and become Cinderella, or will she forever be enslaved?
