After the death of Jocelyn’s mother, her father brings home his mistress who becomes Jocelyn’s stepmother, making her the least valued daughter in the family.
Her stepmother and stepsister are mean and bullies her, while her younger sister always acts superior to her in every way. Meanwhile, the family business is on the verge of bankruptcy because of her father’s gambling and her stepmother and stepsister’s profligacy.
At this time, they receive an invitation from the Brown family, an invitation from the real upper class to select a wife for the scion of the Brown family, which excites Jocelyn’s family that if the stepsister, Maria, could marry into the Brown family, the company’s troubles would be solved!
The stepmother says, “If your sister were to catch the eye of Master Alan, even our House of Wilson would benefit, not to mention a motherless person like you; there might even be people rushing to marry you!”
Father says: “Your sister is so beautiful, I think she will be Mrs. Brown! Maria, let me see your face, the face of the future Mrs. Brown!”
At the moment, Jocelyn is glad to be ignored by her family. She just wants to get away from this ridiculous wife-picking affair, but the gears of fate seem to be turning in unpredictable directions…
The first time they meet, Jocelyn has a one-night stand with Master Brown because of her stepsister’s prank.
The second time they meet, Master Brown walks his stepsister home, gets out of the car in front of Jocelyn’s family, and grabs her wrist. “Do you think you can run?”
Later, the Browns announced their final choice of marriage partner—Jocelyn.
