Synopsis
Walking into the doorsteps of a rich merchant's house, a woman leaves her newborn child there, stating that the child is of the merchant's blood. Eighteen years later, the small child grows up to be Jang Hyuk, the younger son of the rich merchant, Park Sang Won. He is a warm-hearted guy that always gets himself in trouble. Not knowing Lee Yoh Won is of the aristocratic class, he loves her since they were small children. Lee Yoh Won also loves him and tries to ignore her higher class status. Jang Hyuk's elder brother, Han Jae Suhk, on the other hand, is a person with no moral but too much ambition. Even as a small child, his father knew that he would never be pleased with what he had. Han Jae Suhk lives to satisfy his own personal gain, killing people along the way and belittles his brother. When Jang Hyuk runs away from his dad (who together with his elder son plotted to kill the family of a govt official for not accepting his bribe and tricked Jang Hyuk's friends into admitting the crime ), he encounters Park Young Gyu- a humantistic merchant, and his daughter, Son Yeh Jin. Through these people, he also gets to meet the mother he has never seen, Jo Min Soo, who by this time has become a powerful political lobbyist. In the dangerous world of trying to satisfy ones own ambition, the search for true happiness turns into a deadly wish for some people.
