Chester Shawn and Shirley Winslet were childhood sweethearts, until a car accident three years ago left Shirley in a coma. For three years, Chester has devotedly cared for her, hoping for her recovery. Unexpectedly, Yvonne Johnson tricks Chester's mom into signing an arranged marriage contract, binding Chester to marry herself and forbidding divorce for a year. Forced into this unwanted marriage, Chester continues to care for Shirley, holding her in his heart. Consumed by jealousy, Yvonne kidnaps Shirley and undergoes surgery to swap faces with her. To keep Shirley from telling the truth, Yvonne damages her vocal cords with a hot iron, leaving her mute, and throws her into a fire. From then on, Yvonne and Shirley live each other's lives.
