Her father (millionaire Gonzalo San Llorente) puts all his faith in her because of his three daughters, she is the one who looks and acts most like him. Florencia (her older sister) has a fatal heart disease; her youngest sister Renata is an immature, capricious adolescent.
Miranda is planning her wedding to her fiancé, Fabricio Beltrán, when he returns from Germany after finishing his doctoral degree. However, she does not realize that Fabricio is returning to marry not her, but her sister Florencia. Bertha de Aragón (Miranda’s maternal aunt) ensured that love arose between Fabricio and Florencia to spite Miranda (whom she has never been able to control and who is immune to Bertha's false charm). Bertha also sees in Miranda the woman she hates the most: her own sister, Fernanda de Aragón.

When Alejandro gets to know Miranda, love awakens in him for the first time; this conflicts with his desire for revenge. Miranda is also attracted to him; this leads to a bittersweet, love-hate relationship which will hurt them both.

In addition, Miranda and Alejandro must overcome obstacles on their path placed by Caesar (who loves Miranda) and Bertha (who falls in love with Alejandro at first sight).

“James’s great gift, of course, was his ability to tell a plot in shimmering detail with such delicacy of treatment and such fine aloofness—that is, reluctance to engage in any direct grappling with what, in the play or story, had actually “taken place”Mthat his listeners often did not, in the end, know what had, to put it in another way, “gone on.””
