Miryeong, a woman working at a bar, meets Donghun, a poor student. After Donghun's traffic accident, she becomes his guardian and loves him. As Miryeong runs a food stall to help Donghun, a gangster named Chil-yong appears, causes trouble, gets injured, and demands money from her. Fearing Donghun might find out, Miryeong goes to meet her sister Boksil with Chil-yong, but they get into a traffic accident. Chil-yong dies, and Miryeong goes missing. Donghun, believing Miryeong is dead, announces his marriage to a chaebol's daughter. Before his wedding, Donghun, trying to soothe his tormented heart, falls off a horse and faints at an orphanage's ranch. Miryeong, now blind, uses her necklace to stop the bleeding from Donghun's arm. Donghun, regaining consciousness, sees the necklace wrapped around his arm and searches for Miryeong.
