Winona Jacquez, once a wealthy heiress, found herself transformed into an unloved country girl after her mother's manipulation. This drastic change occurred when her mother brought her back home at the age of nineteen with one condition: giving up her fiancé to her foster sister. In desperation, Winona's fiancé's uncle came to her aid. Klein Quiness, a handsome and generous man, had been kidnapped and injured as a child, which led him to avoid romantic entanglements with women. He proposed marriage to Winona, suggesting that she might not need to bear children if she married him. This proposal perfectly aligned with Winona's desires, seeking a chance at happiness.
