Summer Shay is the legendary anonymous jewelry designer ANNI, hiding her fame to marry Felix of Voss Group for love. She even donated a kidney to save his life, but Felix believes his fragile first love Ivy was the one who saved him. For years Summer takes the mockery, while Ivy steals her designs and rises on them.

When Summer finally sees the marriage for the cold business deal it is, she divorces him and goes back to the top. Reclaiming her designer identity, she sits as chief judge of a competition and exposes Ivy's plagiarism in front of everyone. Felix comes crawling, only to learn the woman he threw away was both his true savior and the judge he's begging.
