Lumaki si Calista Althea Chiu sa isang makapangyarihan ngunit istriktong Chinese family—kung saan ang tradisyon ay batas at ang babae ay kailangang sumunod, kahit masaktan. Mayaman ang pamilyang kinalakihan niya, ngunit sa likod ng karangyaan, isa siyang bihag ng sariling kapalaran. Sa tatlong magkakapatid, siya ang nag-iisang babae at middle child—tahimik, masunurin, at laging isinasantabi ang sariling damdamin. Ngunit isang gabi, tuluyang nagbago ang lahat. Dahil sa desperadong pangangailangan ng pera ng kanyang kuya at sa malaking pagkakautang ng kanilang pamilya sa makapangyarihang Wang family, isang lihim na kasunduan ang isinagawa. Isang desisyong hindi niya kailanman pinili. Ibinenta si Calista bilang isang “regalo” sa kaarawan ng lalaking minsan na niyang nakita sa Shanghai—ang malamig at misteryosong billionaire heir ng Monaco, si Marcus Romanov. Para kay Marcus, ang lahat ay transaksyon. Ngunit kahit pilitin niyang limutin, hindi niya maalis sa isip ang gabing pinagsaluhan nila. Para kay Calista, iyon ang gabing ninakaw ang kanyang kinabukasan. Hindi nila namamalayan, unti-unti silang nahuhulog sa isa’t isa—isang damdaming isinilang sa gitna ng kapangyarihan, katahimikan, at mga lihim na pilit itinatago. Ngunit may isang lalaking hindi handang bumitaw. Si Lixin Wang, ang mayamang Chinese heir at lalaking itinakdang pakasalan si Calista, ay handang ipaglaban ang paniniwalang pag-aari niya ito—kahit sa pamamagitan ng takot at kapangyarihan. Sa pagitan ng tradisyon at pag-ibig, obligasyon at kalayaan, kailangang pumili ni Calista: manatiling babaeng isinuko ng pamilya, o labanan ang kapalarang ipinataw sa kanya—kahit pa kapalit nito ang kanyang puso.
