Mong-ryong constantly bullies Chun-hyang and due to an accident, they spend the night with each other.

As the high school's top student, Chun-Hyang helps Mong-Ryong learn the necessary grades to gain admission to the best University in South Korea.
Rather than give up, Byun Hak-do becomes determined to make her to fall in love with him at any cost. He blackmails Chun-hyang into leaving Mong-ryong days before their official wedding ceremony. Chun-hyang dispears from his life and hides from both Mong-ryong and Byun Hak-do. When she visits Seoul again, some years later, Mong-ryong is Defensive Attorney. They bump again into each other and Chun-Hyang is afraid to admit her love, since Byun Hak-do is still willing to blackmail her with a video that could ruin Mong-ryong's career. In the end, Byun Hak-do lets go of Chun-hyang, realizing she will never love him. She marries Mong-ryong and everything ends well.
