 Lety the protagonist is literally the female ugly version of La Fea Mas Bella. The story begins with her going to an interview at Conceptos, a famous Mexican modeling and advertising company, and being turned down the job because of her appearance. The president of the company, Fernando Mendiola, however, calls her back. After receiving the job from an uncertain president, Lety tries to prove herself with the help of The Club of the Uglies (El cuartel de las feas) all the while trying to evade prejudice, hatred, and most of all, deceit and betrayal.
She falls in love with the President who's already engaged with Marcia
Villarroel and becomes his lover. However, in an unfortunate manner,
Lety finds out that she is actually being used and betrayed. She finds
a letter written by Vice-President Omar Carvajal which generally states
that the President needs to seduce Lety in order to protect the fate of
Conceptos. Her image of the people at Conceptos is ruined and is
completely heart-broken by this letter. Angered by this, Lety uses the
contents to her advantage and presents the letter at a quarterly
meeting and the true failing balance of the company to the company's
council and former owners. They find out later that she actually owned
Conceptos herself for a few months now through Filmo Imagen. She
resigns from her post during the meeting and runs away from the mess
she created to harm them.
After traveling to Acapulco with a friend
named Carolina Ángeles, she meets a part-time fisherman and chef named
Aldo Domenzaín, who helps her get back on her feet and helps her
realize her true potential. When she returns to Conceptos as the full
owner of it, she begins to unravel the web she spun in Acapulco to
unleash to everyone at Conceptos and eventually finds out that Aldo is
in love with her. As problems with the company begin again, she
undergoes a dramatic appearance change, visits the wedding of a
long-time enemy and a long-time friend, acts on many programs dressed
as a diva. She also falls in love with Aldo, changes the way others
view her, and eventually prepares for her wedding with Aldo, though at
the same time the thought of loving Fernando is just starting to
reawaken in her mind. But when Fernando decides to go to Brazil, Lety
soon realizes that who she really loves is Fernando. Lety soon marries
Fernando instead of Aldo.
