Years ago, Gonzalo Rivas-Montaño was engaged to Olga Bocker, but when he met her sister, Elena, they fell in love. However, Olga's wickedness managed to separate them and turned the entire town against her sister. Elena died shortly after, leaving Gonzalo devastated; he eventually married Olga and they had a daughter, Hanna. In the present, Andrea Rosales is a kind and generous young woman who has lived her entire life in the small mining town of Real del Monte. At the beginning of the story, Andrea is about to marry Manuel Soto, a handsome mining engineer. However, Daniel González Rivas-Montaño, a young and idealistic journalist who never imagined he had ties to Real del Monte, arrives in town. Daniel arrives in town in search of his grandfather, Don Gonzalo Rivas-Montaño, whom he has never met. The reason is that his mother, Hanna Rivas-Montaño Bocker de González, hates his father, holding him responsible for his mother's suicide. Daniel meets Andrea and the two fall in love, leading Andrea to break off her engagement to Manuel. For many of the townspeople, their love is reminiscent of the story of Gonzalo and Elena, and it seems history is about to repeat itself.
