Synopsis
In 2023, Han Yi-joo, the naive adopted eldest daughter of a wealthy family, discovers that her stepmother Lee Jung-hye has been selling imitations of famous paintings that Yi-joo made as a hobby, framing her for the fraud. That same day, she learns her husband Yoo Se-hyuk has feelings for her younger sister and has filed for divorce. Overwhelmed, Yi-joo flees, suffers a serious car accident, and is later murdered in her hospital bed by Jung-hye's assistant. She wakes up in 2022, one year before these events, while still engaged. Determined to take revenge on her family and fiancé, she approaches Seo Do-guk, the man her younger sister has a crush on, and proposes marriage. He agrees on the condition that she win the trust of his grandmother.
Cast
Seo Do-guk, played by Sung Hoon, is a chaebol who turned down the family business to launch his own thriving company, H-terior. He falls for Han Yi-joo and eventually weds her. In the original timeline, Han Yoo-ra pursued him, but in the second timeline, he marries Yi-joo and alters her destiny. Jung Yoo-min portrays Han Yi-joo, who spent her early years in an orphanage before a wealthy family adopted her. Despite her efforts to win their approval, she is often overlooked and undervalued. A traumatic childhood event leaves her unable to consume any food she hasn't cooked herself. In the first timeline, she wed Yoo Se-hyeok, but in the second, she marries Do-guk to reshape her fate. Jin Ji-hee plays Han Yoo-ra, Yi-joo's stepsister and the favored child of their parents.

Kang Shin-hyo is Seo Jong-wook, Do-guk's brother and Vice President of Taeja Construction. He feigns a limp due to an accident involving Do-guk and presents a friendly facade while hiding a vicious side. Oh Seung-yoon plays Yoo Se-hyeok, whose father works as the Han family's chauffeur. He met both Yoo-ra and Yi-joo young, is in love with Yoo-ra, and will go to any length for her—including marrying Yi-joo just to stay near her. Yi-joo's family includes Lee Min-young as Lee Jung-hye, Jin-woong's wife and Yi-joo's stepmother, a cold, ambitious social climber who runs the art gallery; Jeon No-min as Han Jin-woong, the successor and acting head of Hanwool Financial Group, who favors Yoo-ra; and Lee Byung-joon as Han Woon-jae, the Han family patriarch and chairman.
