Emily has been adopted by the Sterling family since childhood, but in truth they covet the huge inheritance left by her parents. To unlock the inheritance, she is forced to marry the family's only son Robert, only to catch her husband with his lover on the wedding night. Disheartened, she meets a man in red, Alexander, at a nightclub, and after a tender night intends to use him to bear a child, unaware that he is the hidden heir of New York's richest man, who was once protected by the young Emily years ago and has silently loved her all along. As the Sterlings scheme and frame Emily time and again, learning the truth of her origins and unexpectedly pregnant, she resolves to fight back and join hands with Alexander to launch a wealthy-family revenge game of exposing conspiracies, reclaiming the inheritance, and punishing the wicked.
