Juliana Soler is the unattractive daughter of Regina, who had once been a fashion model. Regina makes fun of her daughter's homeliness and awkwardness when she is a child and forever shortchanges her emotionally throughout the story. Her Aunt Mercedes's ghost shows up and leads her to a lab, showing her an old mirror where Juliana can wish to be beautiful, however her aunt tells her that she can only be beautiful by day. At nightfall she will turn back into her normal self.
When Juliana wishes upon the mirror, she becomes the beautiful and glamorous Maritza Ferrer. As Maritza, she finds a job in a cosmetic company called Mutti Enterprises which is owned by Gabriel Mutti. There she meets the love of her life Marcos Mutti, who is the son of the owner Gabriel Mutti.

Divdesmitdivgadīga jauniete Huliana Solera ir pārliecināta par to, ka nekad mūžā nesatiks savu lielo mīlestību. Kāpēc? Tāpēc, ka viņas māte Regīna – bijusī modele – ir gluži vai apsēsta ar skaistumu, un paradoksālās greizsirdības dēļ uz savu meitu, vienmēr Hulianai ir likusi justies kā «neglītajam pīlēnam». Par laimi Hulianai izdodas atrast mierinājumu un atbalstu pie savas draudzenes Lusmilas, kas neļauj Hulianai «nokārt degunu». Hulianas dzīve pilnībā mainās tajā brīdī, kad viņas rokās nonāk maģisks spogulis, ar kura palīdzību Huliana spēj pārvērsties par īstu skaistuli, bet... tas iespējams vien dienas laikā. Izmantojot savu jauno veidolu un arī jaunu vārdu – Marica Ferrera − viņa iekārtojas darbā kosmētikas kompānijā, kuru vada Gabriels Mutti. Tur viņa sastop Markosu –Gabriela audžudēlu. Jaunieši iemīlas viens otrā, tomēr puisim jau ir līgava, kas, protams, nav gatava atkāpties bez cīņas. Un šajā cīņā, kas izvēršas par kārtīgu karu, kurā visi līdzekļi ir atļauti. Un vēl izrādās, ka Hulianai − Maricai jāuzmanās arī no Gabriela Mutti otrās sievas – Barbaras Montesinosas. Šī ambiciozā un egoistiskā sieviete, kas dzīvē prot izskaitļot un iegūt savu labumu, ir nolēmusi iegūt sava vīra mantu. Protams, - ar jebkuriem līdzekļiem. Un šajā stratēģiskajā cīņa viņa paļaujas uz sava jaunā mīļākā - Alberto – atbalstu.
Hulianas − Maricas dubultajai dzīvei pienāk gals, kad spogulis nejauši saplīst... Līdz ar spoguli pazūd arī meitenes skaistums...
