Mi-rae owes a huge credit card debt, so she enters a beauty pageant to win the first prize of . But when the prize money ends up in the corrupt mayor's pocket, Mi-rae holds a one-person demonstration in front of the city hall. After a series of ups and downs, Mi-rae gets her prize money, but has no choice but to resign from her job. After the beautiful but obnoxious councilwoman Min Joo-hwa mocks Mi-rae for losing her job at her bar, Mi-rae retaliates by denying her access to the toilet until she wets her skirt in front of journalists. When the situation is leaked to the press, the mayor resigns as well. The job of mayor is up for grabs and Mi-rae becomes nominated as a mayoral candidate. With the support of her followers and the backing of Jo Gook, the powerful deputy mayor, she becomes elected as the youngest mayor of Inju. With no political background but filled with the desire to genuinely work for her constituents, Mi-rae begins to reform the bureaucratic culture of the city hall administration.
