Revenge Haikyu!!

Wildflower is a 2017 Philippine revenge drama television series starring Maja Salvador, together with an ensemble cast. The series premiered on ABS-CBN's Primetime Bida evening block and worldwide on The Filipino Channel on February 13, 2017, replacing Pinoy Big Brother: Lucky Season 7 - Mga Kwento ng Dream Team ni Kuya. The series is scheduled to end on February 9, 2018; a total of 260 episodes will have aired at the time of completion.

Plot

The story follows Lily Cruz (Maja Salvador), a beautiful and smart heiress who wants justice for her parents’ deaths by seeking revenge against the evil Ardiente family.

Lily Cruz was raised by her parents with love and wisdom. Her mother, Camia, (Sunshine Cruz) was a school teacher while her father, Dante (Christian Vazquez) was a public attorney. Dante's recent case brought threats to their peaceful life, so the Cruz family moved to the small town of Poblacion Ardiente, where they planned to set up a daycare for Camia and Dante's own law firm. Lily easily found friends (including Diego Torillo (Joseph Marco), the youngest son of the Ardiente family). The Ardiente family is the most powerful political dynasty in the town under the rule of Congressman Julio Ardiente (Tirso Cruz III) and his daughter Emilia (Aiko Melendez), Governor of the province. Emilia was married to businessman (and known serial womanizer) Raul Torillo (Wendell Ramos). They have two sons, Arnaldo (RK Bagatsing) and Diego.

Complications followed when Raul became smitten with Camia. This caught Emilia’s attention, who was quite fed up with her husband's indiscretions and many rape charges. Feeling the entitlement of the powerful, Raul attempted to assault Camia, and Dante filed a rape case against him. Unfortunately, the Ardientes do not take threats lightly.

Lily's world crumbled when Dante suspiciously died from a heart attack; she was further crushed when she witnessed her mother’s rape. Though she was targeted to be killed herself, the assassins felt compassion for the 9 year old and freed her instead. Alone with nowhere to go, Lily fends for herself in another city until a wealthy woman named Prianka Aguas (Priscilla Meirelles) rescues her from life in the streets.

Prianka legally adopted Lily and raised her to become tough and independent. Prianka taught Lily to think smart and equipped her with the resources she needed to seek the truth about the Ardientes and justice for her parents. When Prianka died, Lily inherited her fortune. Lily returned to Poblacion Ardiente to avenge her parents.

Lily introduced herself as Ivy Aguas. With her billion dollar conglomerate behind her, she became a magnet for the Ardientes who were preparing their political campaign for the gubernatorial and congressional elections. A power struggle brewed inside the Ardientes between Emilia and Arnaldo. Ivy became reacquainted with Diego, who turned out to be the bastard son of Raul. But as Ivy continued with her plans to expose the Ardientes, she developed feelings for Diego, who renounced the Ardientes and decided to run for Governor as well.

Lily began to execute her intricate plan to bring down the Ardientes; she ingratiated herself with Emilia (as an avid campaign supporter for her political ambitions as she gathered evidence to expose Emilia with plunder charges), seduced Arnaldo (who she realized was the family's weakness) and destroyed his mental state so that he was reduced to an incapacitated state; she pushed Julio Ardiente out of retirement to take him down completely; unfortunately, the Ardientes' power and influence reached the justice system itself. Although she crippled the Ardientes' power base that stripped Julio of his governorship, she was unsuccessful in keeping Julio and Emilia behind bars. Her plan backfired as a new and more formidable enemy emerged called "Red Dragon" who turned out to be Julio’s first wife and Emilia's mother.

Lily’s challenge is to sustain the love in her heart to pave way for forgiveness and justice. That through it all, love conquers evil, love heals, and love forgives.
