Summary (Beware:  this summary contains spoilers)*:   Suh Yun-hee and Kang Dong-woo loved each other for a long time.  Yun-hee helped Dong-woo through college and the military.  They even had a daughter together and planned to eventually marry.  They worked at the same company, but kept their relationship a secret.   Dong-woo then meets Noh Young-ju who is the niece of their company's President.  Dong-woo and Young-ju fall in love with each other.  Young-ju has no idea about Yun-hee.  Dong-woo tells Yun-hee that he wants to leave her.  Yun-hee doesn't want him to leave and begs him to reconsider for their daughter's sake.  He refuses and goes to Young-ju.  In a tragic accident, their daughter dies and Yun-hee expects Dong-woo to come back to her, but he refuses.  During this time, Yun-hee is working for Young-ju's brother, Young-guk.  Young-guk falls in love with Yun-hee.  When Yun-hee realizes this, she decides to use him to get back at Dong-woo.  However, as time passes, Yun-hee realizes that revenge is not as sweet as she expected it to be.
