Ella was once a privileged lady in Boston. After her father’s bankruptcy and suicide, she was driven out by her stepfamily. To survive, she worked as a nanny for Lily, the mute, autistic three-year-old daughter of the cold real estate tycoon Nathan. Surprisingly, the little girl only opened up to Ella. To win the custody battle, Nathan made her a deal: a fake marriage for one million dollars. His ruthless ex-wife Rebecca was determined to take their daughter back. As Mrs. Nathan, Ella was mocked as a gold-digging imposter in high society. Yet her grace and wisdom helped her overcome countless troubles and win the old lady’s approval. Gradually, subtle love grew between her and Nathan. Rebecca conspired with Ella’s vicious stepsister to frame her for fraud. Misled, Nathan believed Ella was merely a pawn and drove her away, leaving Lily withdrawn again. Ella chose to fight back. She gathered evidence alone and exposed the conspiracy in court. Rebecca lost custody, and her stepsister was arrested. Outside the courthouse, Nathan begged her to stay as a real family. Lily ran into her arms and spoke her first word: "Mom". Ella no longer needed the million dollars, for she had finally found her true home.
