Plot

edit

Selva María is the daughter of a mining entrepreneur Fernando Altamirano. As a child, she left town to study in a convent run by nuns in Caracas. During her years of study she never had contact with her father but with her paternal aunt Adelaida who came to visit her often. Once she finishes her studies, Selva María happily returns to her home, but she is unaware that Fernando is not her real father and is an evil man who does everything in his power so that no man approaches her.

However, Selva María meets Rodrigo, a handsome journalist who falls in love with her despite Fernando's opposition. Their relationship will also be opposed by Carla, Fernado's sister who dresses like a man and is cruel to the miners. She will join forces with her brother to separate Selva María and Rodrigo.[3]
