Teresa Chávez Aguirre (Angelique Boyer) is a beautiful and intelligent young woman who is led by her ambition. Having been born in an impoverished neighborhood Teresa’s opportunities are limited in life. Despite having the support and love from her parents to improve her economic standing in society, Teresa grows resentful and envious of the elites who she’s gotten to know while going to a private high school on a scholarship.

Dazzled by his wealth and interest in her, Teresa dates Paulo (Alejandro Nones) in high school but the relationship abruptly terminates after he discovers she is poor. Paulo and Aida (Margarita Magaña), a jealous classmate, publicly humiliate Teresa at a social gathering exposing her impoverished background and her concealment of it. The event prompts her to vow to take revenge on them, swearing she will never be trampled that same way again. “Entre ser y no ser, yo soy (Between being or not being, I am)” becomes Teresa’s motto which she ascribes to time and time again.

Teresa is able to attend a prestigious university to study law, that doesn’t offer merit based scholarships, with the help of Professor and Lawyer Arturo de la Barrera (Sebastián Rulli). Based on her performance as the highest ranked student in her high school, Arturo de la Barrera offers to pay her tuition and to be her mentor through an internship in his law firm.

When her shy millionaire friend, Aurora (Ana Brenda Contreras), expresses interest in Teresa’s first boyfriend Mariano (Aarón Díaz) who lives in the same neighborhood as her, Teresa resumes their romantic relationship from years ago. She encourages Mariano to also resume studying for medical school which he had ceased to do when his mother became ill and died.

Despite being in a committed relationship with Mariano for many years, they had hoped to get married after they both finished their studies, their different worldviews causes a schism in their relationship. Mariano believes hard work alone is enough for both of them to leave poverty behind while Teresa doesn’t believe the same and chafes under the patronizing attitude Mariano often adopts with her.

After an altercation with Mariano, which her mother witnesses and punishes by slapping her, she seeks refuge in the home (and workplace) of her former professor Arturo de la Barrera. As a clever woman, Teresa is aware of the interest her mentor has in her romantically and resides in his home due to her close relationship with both him and his sister Luisa (Fernanda Castillo).

Teresa celebrates the accomplishment of getting her law degree along with her wedding to Arturo de la Barrera in a lavish ceremony. Despite still being in love with Mariano, Teresa chooses the relationship she believes will secure her future alongside a man she admires yet does not love.

She fosters a good relationship with womanizer Fernando (Daniel Arenas), the friend of Arturo and boyfriend of Luisa. As a multimillionaire that comes from European nobility Teresa welcomes the attention and care he directs her way that stems from his attraction to her.

As Teresa strives for economic prosperity she gains powerful enemies who view her as a ‘social climber’ and she must use her calculating mind to dispel obstacles thrown in her way.
