So her best friend Jiang Xiao Nan (Michelle Chen) sneaks in a "Love" coupon in Jia Di's raffle box praying that the lucky guy who draws it will sweep Jia Di off her feet. As it so happens Huo Yan (Kingone Wang), the compassionate manager of Jia Di has a secret crush on her, is he the lucky guy. But tho' the prince can exchange the coupon for Cinderella's love, it doesn't mean he will especially when his devilish younger brother Huo Da (Mike He) is determined to exchange his "Master / Angel" coupoy for her servitude.

Main Cast:

Rainie Yang as Tong Jia Di

Romance? Stop joking around! I don't have the time. My goal in life is to make money!

Jia Di's dream is sealed away on that day after her father passed away and the court foreclose their house. But her flighting index has continuously been very high! Every day that she opens her eyes, Jia Di would tell herself: "Poor devil leave me be! I, Tong Jia Di have to go out and make lots of money."

If someone is born with a silver spoon in his mouth, then there is also someone who is born clenching her teeth as she grows up! That person is Jia Di. She is 20 years old and she has no time to Cast blames on God or other people! She has an uneducated and grumpy mother and also a spendthrift and good for nothing younger brother who doesn't care about the family. As well as the most terrifying, an uncle, who is commonly referred to as "the destroyer", who regards real money as paper money and burns it.

Mike He as Huo Da

" So what if this is how I am?! If you can't stand it, go to sleep! Or do you want me to fork your eye out the window?!"

22 years old Scorpio, 2nd son of the Huo family. In the eyes of outsiders, he is a willful rebellious and self-centered guy. On the surface because of his family's rich circumstances, he always appears to be the self-centered, bad personality type. He is truly the type that doesn't know how to show other people sympathy. He always has on this disdainful, ridiculing smile on his face when he looks upon his father's empire. He is the extreme opposite to his elder be, Huo Yan, who has the same father but different mothers. By common standards, Huo Yan is the good type while Huo Da is the bad type. If he smiles at you, No! No! Don't be happy too quickly. Within this charming smile might be hiding some mischievous thoughts! Because he is not used to being friendly towards other people, if he gives you an attitude that is being polite already! ready!

Kingone Wang as Huo Yan

"I am not giving in. I just don't want to go fight for what doesn't belong to me."

24 years old Capricorn, the eldest son of department store, Huo Enterprise. Well-mannered and elegant-bearing. Compared with the Huo family's 2nd son, who is always causing trouble, Huo Yan's temperament and scalability, is without doubt, the first choice for being the enterprise's successor in the eyes of all the people. However that is not what Huo Yan thinks in his heart. Only he is clear that everything that has to do with the Huo family has completely nothing to do with him. After all from the day that Huo Da's mother paid Huo Yan's mother to bring him back to the Huo family, his life has been plastered a label. "Even though he is born from a mistress, but the child is innocent. Therefore, bring him back to the family!"

Judy Fukumoto as Yang Yan Shu

"Yes, I am extremely gifted but that shouldn't be my fault."

She comes from a very prosperous family background. Beauty and intelligence only adds to her good qualities. 22 years old Leo. Yan Shu has been glittering brightly ever since she is a child - in Huo Da's eyes, she glitters even more so. Coming from a rich family, she should be pampered and spoiled but Yan Shu is not like that. The impression that Yan Shu gives to others is confident and graceful. Because she is born to a good family environment, Yan Shu is used to seeing "possession" as a common thing. A person who has everything in this world would not be stingy in giving. Expect when it comes to love.

Michelle Chen as Jiang Xiao Nan

"I have no money to buy health/beauty products so why not just fall in love!"

20 years old. Tong Jia Di's closest friend. Before the Huo brothers charged into Jia Di's Life, wherever you see Jia Di, you would see Xiao Nan. It is not a relationship between a Princess and her follower. Rather it is the fate of two Cinderella's sharing the same joys and sorrows. They both come from circumstances not of their choice and which are fated not to get better. They both are used to using laughter to substitute for complaints and have also invented many ways to tease rich people. "Taiwan people are really poor, so poor that there is only money left!" In order to save money, they both eat from the same instant noodle bowl and read the same novels. It seems that only their dreams for luxury are different.
