Zheng Bai He, after being dumped by her boyfriend because she is ugly and fat and having her grandmother die on the same day (talk about fate), finds that her mother did not die. Furthermore, her mother is the famous actress Han Li. She finds herself in the Han family, yet, the truth about her birth has not been revealed. Surrounded by three half-siblings, all by the same mother but different father, and a pretty harsh and cold mother, Bai He takes on the role of a maid. The three siblings are isolated from each other and the society. They have a cold appearance, yet each of them has a warm story behind them. This is the fairy tale of how Cinderella changes each of them, and finds the princess within herself.
