Synopsis

Precious Hearts Romances Presents Pintada is a love story between high school student Sev (Martin del Rosario) and his chemistry teacher, Lysa (Denise Laurel).

Lysa is a young woman with a beauty desired by men and envied by women. One day, a fire breaks out in the school she works in. While trying to rescue her students, a part of her face gets burned. She lost her beauty in that tragic fire which gave her a lifetime scar, physically and emotionally.

Some people died in the fire, and among them is Mr. Sandejas who is rumored to have had an affair with her. Besieged by hatred from the townsfolk and ashamed of her badly burned face, Lysa spends 6 years in prison. Lysa makes the decision to leave and live alone, but Noel convinces her to return to Cervantes in order to clear her reputation and exact retribution on those who caused her suffering.
