Childhood sweethearts Beja and Antônio plan to marry as soon as he finishes his schooling abroad. But while he's away, Beja catches the attention of Mota, one of the King's magistrates, who upends her plans for the future.
Beja is taken from Araxá to Paracatu, where she fends off Mota's unwanted attention and finds comfort in her growing bond with Severina. Meanwhile in Rio, Antônio barely avoids danger thanks to his old friend João.
Beja tries to flee while Mota works harder to trap her in Paracatu. When Antônio learns where she is, he rushes to save his fiancée. Meanwhile, Maria seizes a chance to push Angélica toward Antônio.
As Beja finally resigns herself to the life in front of her, she manages to work the system thanks to her etiquette lessons. Meanwhile, Antônio is injured in his attempt to rescue Beja, and Maria inches closer to making her plan a reality.
Beja's plans to dominate the Court are derailed when the magistrate throws her a curveball. She scrambles to respond while Angélica's confession to Antônio threatens to destroy her upcoming wedding.
After being assaulted and shamed by society, a 19th-century woman retaliates by opening a luxurious brothel, defying norms and rising as a powerful courtesan.
