Som was abandoned by her mother and left in the care of her aunt and uncle, who treated her with neglect and abuse. Despite this, she grew into a kind and graceful young woman. Wanting independence, she learned beauty and hair skills from Huay, a local beautician. But when her uncle tried to sell her to a wealthy man, Som escaped with Huay’s help.

She found refuge at a beauty pageant agency and began entering small contests to save money for her education, hoping to compete in bigger pageants one day. Along the way, she took a job at a hotel, where she met Sila, the handsome but judgmental owner who saw her only for her looks.
