Nia, who was born into poverty and lived with her mother Elena, made a living by running a snack shop near the beach. Nia befriended a rich young friend named Oliver. With a simple heart, Oliver often came to the snack shop to eat. He fell for a classmate named Jasmine and came up with an idea to win her favor: placing a joke in Jasmine's bookshelf every day. Although Jasmine was often amused to no end, she did not know that the person leaving the jokes was Oliver. For this somewhat showy classmate, Jasmine had no interest at all. Once, they even had a big argument in the school library and were punished by the principal: helping to organize the library for a semester. Jasmine was then scolded and beaten by her mother Yolanda. In fact, Jasmine, Nia, and Elena were originally one family. Years ago, Larry abandoned Elena and Nia to marry Yolanda and took away their younger daughter Daisy, who later changed her name to Jasmine.
