Stolen Wings

This is the story of Orncha (Pornchada Warapatchara), a hardworking young woman who must support her entire family. Her father, Ong-art (Kasama Nisaiphan), is seriously ill and unable to work, while her stepmother Yiwa (Kawintra Photijak) and her son Tim (Rawitcha Panchawit) do nothing but spend money and cause trouble. Orncha takes on every kind of job she can find, though she still dreams of becoming a jewelry designer, the field she studied. When Yiwa racks up so much debt that she is willing to use Orncha herself to repay it, Ong-art has no choice but to send his daughter away for her own safety.
At the same time, Muttha (Jakkapat Angsuthanmalee) has a fierce argument with his father and is thrown out of the house, forcing him to look for a place to rent. Meanwhile, Muttha’s older brother Kabin (Chawitkan Wororotyothin) happens to meet Orncha and sees that she too is searching for a new place to stay, so he arranges for her to rent a house together with Muttha. Even so, Kabin does not fully trust Orncha. He keeps watching her, trying to catch her in wrongdoing and digging into her background, which stirs jealousy in his girlfriend Mayurin (Randapa Mantalumpa).
Kabin’s own family is also in trouble, as his father’s business has gone bankrupt. Kabin struggles desperately to restore the family’s standing, while his rival Thotsaphit (Kritsada Supaprom) constantly tries to undermine him.
One day, Kabin rescues Orncha from the loan sharks sent by her mother to ambush and hurt her. Through that, he begins to see that Orncha is not a bad person at all. Muttha, who knows Mayurin’s true nature — that she is secretly cheating with Thotsaphit — starts hoping to pair Kabin with Orncha instead and tries to bring the two closer together.
Orncha’s kindhearted habit of helping others eventually leads her to work for Amara (Sutthida Kasemsan Na Ayutthaya), the owner of the country’s number one jewelry company. Even though the only job available is as a housemaid, Orncha accepts it, simply to get closer to the work of her dreams. Amara grows very fond of Orncha. But when Mayurin — who is Amara’s adopted daughter — finds out that Orncha has joined the company, she is furious. She forces herself to act pleasant on the surface, while secretly doing everything she can to drive Orncha out.
Mayurin and her mother Nongram (Wannasa Thongwiset), Amara’s sister-in-law, are plotting to seize Amara’s inheritance in the future, since Amara has no biological heir to take over the business.
The more Kabin gets to know Orncha, the more he sees her goodness. Although her life is full of hardship, she inspires other people — including him — with her hopeful spirit. Kabin begins to fall in love with Orncha, especially as he sees Mayurin’s true colors more clearly: she is prepared to abandon him the moment he falls into hardship. At the same time, Thotsaphit also begins to take an interest in Orncha, which only deepens Mayurin’s hatred.
Meanwhile, Amara feels more and more strangely attached to Orncha, to the point of wanting to adopt her as another daughter. This makes Mayurin and Nongram even more desperate to drive Orncha away from Amara, because they know a hidden secret about Orncha’s birth — and fear that if the truth comes out, they will lose their place as heirs and miss out on a massive inheritance.
