After an unexpected swim in a cold lake, Min Corelli ends up in a nearby mansion owned by Julian Berrisford, who, concerned about the poor condition of the girl who came to him, takes touching care of her. However, Berrisford's wife, as vicious as she is beautiful, takes advantage of the circumstances to file for divorce, citing her husband's infidelity with the innocent Min. Trying to protect Min's name from scandal and dirt, Julian makes a deal with his wife and practically loses his fortune. Min runs away, considering herself unworthy of the attention of such a sophisticated, educated person. It would seem that what could be worse than this? But when they meet again, everything changes dramatically. And now the false understanding of pride prevents loving hearts from uniting. Will these two be able to overcome their pride? Before the reader is another interpretation of the plot of “Pride and Pride”, which is not at all similar to the well-known classic one.
