Synopsis
Childhood best friends, Rodora and Perlita have always suffered from the incessant taunting and ridicule for their ugly appearances. While Perlita accepted these criticisms gracefully and is contented with her life, Rodora, on the other hand, believed that there's no future and hope for unattractive people like them. Armed with her sheer determination, Rodora works under Doña Carmen, a rich but abusive old woman. When the spinster dies of a heart attack, Rodora claims all her wealth and uses it to undergo plastic surgery. She completely put her past behind her and changes her name to Giselle.
Meanwhile, Perlita is willing to love any man who will accept her entirely despite her physical flaw. This leads her to trust George, a Filipino-American guy whom she believes loves her sincerely. But after one night, this guy dumps her, and takes all her money. Left with no choice but to accept her fate, Perlita works as a maid in the mansion of the Carbonels. By some twist of fate, the paths of former friends Perlita and Rodora cross again in the mansion. However, Giselle is now the wife of Ziggy, the son of Doña Charito, the matriarch of Carbonels. Unknown to Perlita, the beautiful wife of her boss is childhood best friend Rodora.
Soon after, Giselle and Perlita get pregnant at the same time. Giselle is anxious and concerned that her child will inherit her ugly features. And this situation will bring shame on her husband's family and will eventually reveal her true identity. Giselle's worst fears become reality when she gives birth to an ugly baby. Her world is shattered and she knows that her relationship with Ziggy is over. Perlita, on the other hand, is surprised with her cute and beautiful baby. But after giving birth, she passed out. Giselle learns from Aida, Ziggy's cousin, about Perlita's baby. Giselle conspires with Aida to switch her ugly baby with Perlita's child and in return, she will support her in the family business. Aida agrees and Giselle successfully covers up her identity and switches the two babies.
As years pass by, Perlita dutifully takes care of her daughter Marilyn while Giselle raises Darlene as her own child. Marilyn and Darlene become close despite their social status. But things will turn differently when Jerome, Aida's son, who has always defended Marilyn, will fall in love with Darlene. A love triangle ensues and Darlene and Marilyn are now rivals.
