Plot
Teresa, a beautiful but impoverished woman, blames lack of money for her sister's death. She aims to escape poverty using her looks, while expecting her lover Mariano, a striving doctor, to fulfill her dreams.
Studying on a scholarship, Teresa meets Paulo, a wealthy student. She leaves Mariano for Paulo, aiming to escape poverty. Dating through high school, she urges marriage, but he leaves upon learning her poverty. He offers a kept relationship, which she declines. Paulo's mother, Genoveva, strongly objects.
Aida, jealous and enamored with Paulo, publicly shames Teresa. Vowing strength, Teresa befriends teacher Arturo, who supports her law education. "Entre ser y no ser, yo soy" ("Between being or not being, I am") becomes her motto. She plans revenge on Aida and Paulo. Teresa befriends Arturo, aiming to make him love her. Jealous of friend Aurora's love for Mariano, she reconciles with him. Arturo's sister, Luisa warms up to Teresa's kindness.
While assisting Arturo, he unintentionally falls for Teresa. Luisa urges his confession. Teresa dates Mariano, then gets engaged but leaves him for Arturo due to impatience. Mariano, devastated, finds comfort in Aida after Paulo's death due to drug overdose. Mariano's pleas fail. Arturo and Teresa's trip to Cancun reveals her true self. They marry despite Arturo's jealousy of Mariano. Arturo's affair with ex-fiancée Paloma, Teresa's past infidelity, and Paloma's death strain their marriage. Teresa contemplates divorce until Arturo surprises her with a belated European honeymoon. Over time, despite thoughts of Mariano, Teresa falls in love with Arturo.
Time passes, and Arturo learns of Teresa's prior intimacy with Mariano before their wedding, and her motive of marrying for money. Arturo faces financial crisis, testing their marriage by moving to Teresa's old neighborhood. She pursues Fernando for status, discovered by Mariano who tells Luisa. Luisa breaks off with Mariano, learns she's pregnant by Fernando, and Armando dies in disappointment. Teresa loves Arturo, wanting his recovery. Arturo is loved by Lucia, evoking Teresa's jealousy.
As the plot unfolds, Teresa successfully lures Fernando, persuading him to leave Luisa and share his fortune. During a wedding interview, she disowns her family, revealing her background. Juana and Refugio, heartbroken, see her true nature. Teresa justifies her actions as interview strategy. Friends and family criticize her for choosing money over love. She abandons Fernando, pursues Arturo's forgiveness, and cares for him after a car accident. Arturo heals, but rejects her. Teresa donates Fernando's money to Paloma's child foundation after his refusal. Refugio and Juana deny forgiveness. Alone, Teresa reflects, hugging a teddy bear from Arturo. He arrives, embracing and forgiving her, as they share a hopeful kiss. Teresa learns true love and gains another chance with Arturo.

Six months later, she is working at a company as an assistant, where she is approached by her new boss, asking her to meet him at his office. As she makes her way, Teresa unbuttons her blouse before breaking the fourth wall by smiling seductively to the camera and saying her famous phrase, implying that she is back to her old manipulative ways.
Second Alternative Ending: ↵In this ending Teresa goes back to her house realizing that no one loves her, goes to her room, and hugs the bear that Arturo gave her as a gift.
