This is the story of a conglomerate family that falls apart when the members are caught up in a furious battle for succession. Kim Tae-jin's children all covet his fortune and the power that he possesses as the company president, and they would do anything, however cruel and inhumane, to wrest it from the others.

Her unquenchable thirst for power and wealth drive her to the point of no return, manipulating both husband and son to achieve her own desires.

Cast and characters

She is the type of person who strongly believes that you have to fight ruthlessly for your own happiness, and because of this she makes a decision that would haunt her later in life. She doesn't plan to have Soo-bin as her daughter-in-law in the path that she has paved for her son, Min-jae, to walk on.
She is the hidden daughter of Yoon Na-young who becomes one of the most famous movie actresses in the nation, thus earning herself the nickname of Baek Inki (translated as "Popular Baek"). But as many fans as she has, she has as many anti-fans as well. She is a woman running towards success while running away from her past. She manages to marry Min-jae after they are caught in a scandalous position. The destruction of love and fame just seems like a game to her, and she believes that winning it all would mean happiness for her.
