Maruja and Gabriel were madly in love with each other but Maruja's parents disapproved of their relationship because of their class differences. Maruja was forced to marry Rodrigo, the captain of the civil guards, to ensure their fortune. But right after the marriage, the same night, she took her own life with a promise to Gabriel that they would be reunited someday. One hundred years later, Maruja was reincarnated as Cristy. She sees flashes from the past, memories that are not hers. She connects all the pieces together and was finally reunited with an aged and dying Gabriel.
