Plot

Lia is a strong and good-hearted young woman who has never stopped believing in love despite the mishaps in her life. After losing her mother as a child and going through various mistreatment in the hands of her stepmother Laila, she falls in love with Jacó, but he only has eyes for her cunning sister, Raquel, a girl who likes to seduce the boys and covets riches, though she decides to accept his advances to make Lia suffer. Jacó made a deal with the young women's father, Labão, to work seven years in exchange for Raquel's hand, but on the wedding day, Lia is covered with a veil and is given in marriage by her father. After discovering the exchange the next day, Jacó questions Labão, who states that the family tradition is that the eldest daughter marry first, but that he could also marry Raquel in return for another seven years of work, which the boy accepts, obsessed with her sensuality.

Married to the same man, the sisters vie for the attention of Jacó, who attends to Raquel's luxurious desires, while humiliating Lia, and having to deal with Jacó's involvement with the two servants of the house, Zilpa and Bila. In spite of all contempt, Lia gives Jacó seven children: Rubem, Simeão, Levi, Judá, Issacar, Zebulom, and Diná, the only daughter in the house and the only child to receive affection from her father, which causes envy of the other brothers. Meanwhile Raquel manages to have only José, whom his father has as the only one worthy of true love, which causes rebellion in the children of Lia. Determined not to let her family collapse and prove her true love, Lia can gradually show Jacó that kindness can heal scars and that she is the right woman for him.
