Short filmTranscript
00:00:00My mother is the great goddess of Nuon. She's lived for ages.
00:00:21My mother was kind to the five major families.
00:00:24To repay her, the five major families arranged childhood engagements with me when I was five.
00:00:39Whoever I choose will inherit the family fortune.
00:00:45When I grew up, I chose Mr. Jayden without hesitation.
00:00:52Elizabeth, I'm here to pick you up.
00:01:08Elizabeth, even if you didn't choose us, we'll always be there to protect you.
00:01:12You'll always be our sweet little sister.
00:01:15You'll always be my brothers.
00:01:17What about me?
00:01:19You're naturally my best friend.
00:01:25I thought I was the happiest person in the world.
00:01:28But on our honeymoon, while Jayden was picking up a coral for me, he disappeared into the ocean.
00:01:37Elizabeth!
00:01:38Elizabeth!
00:01:39Jayden!
00:01:41Jayden!
00:01:42Elizabeth, calm down.
00:01:44We've already sent the best rescue team out to sea.
00:01:46I'm going after him myself.
00:01:49Elizabeth!
00:01:50Colton!
00:01:50Please watch the prop for me.
00:01:53Please, Colton.
00:01:55Okay.
00:02:13To find him, I risked my life and jumped in.
00:02:18I had two fingers shredded by the propeller.
00:02:22Elizabeth?
00:02:22I'm sorry.
00:02:24I got distracted and lost track of the propeller.
00:02:27It's all my fault.
00:02:28Don't worry.
00:02:29I'll help you find Jayden.
00:02:30If we can't find him, I'll take care of you for life.
00:02:36Elizabeth!
00:02:37Stop looking for him.
00:02:38Please marry me instead.
00:02:40I'll take care of you for life.
00:02:42But I didn't believe he was dead.
00:02:45I once used the power of Nuo to change Jayden's fate.
00:02:48He should have lived in success and died of old age.
00:02:50How could he possibly die?
00:02:52When I finally found him, he was with my best friend Lauren and had two children.
00:02:58Dad would rather fade his death for mom and give up everything.
00:03:02Who says true love is dead?
00:03:26Jayden!
00:03:29The Ying family is known for foresight.
00:03:32I managed to rip off her fingers.
00:03:33And somehow, you still found us?
00:03:36Everyone fears the Yif family.
00:03:38Anything for Lauren's happiness?
00:03:39I'll do anything.
00:03:41Even if I rot in hell.
00:03:42Colton.
00:03:44Jareth.
00:03:46If it weren't for you,
00:03:48Jaden and I wouldn't have been together.
00:03:55Why?
00:03:57I thought we were family.
00:04:00Why are you doing this to me?
00:04:03Elizabeth.
00:04:04We didn't want this either.
00:04:05But Jaden loves me.
00:04:07You stole him with that engagement.
00:04:09We were hiding from you.
00:04:11Why can't you leave us alone?
00:04:13You made us do this.
00:04:14Don't be sad.
00:04:15Lauren.
00:04:16She brought this on herself.
00:04:19Exactly.
00:04:20You're innocent.
00:04:21This has nothing to do with you.
00:04:30You disaster.
00:04:32Drop dead.
00:04:33Oh, my god.
00:04:33That's not what I do to guard.
00:04:44Oh, my God.
00:04:45Oh, my god.
00:04:47Oh, my God.
00:05:01All right.
00:05:21I became a ghost after I died, drifting around Jaden and all other.
00:05:27Jaden, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me, none of this would've happened.
00:05:35She lived for love. Death is her release. If there's a next life, I hope she won't choose
00:05:42me.
00:05:45The one in the grave is not Elizabeth. We put up this grave just so people won't talk.
00:05:50What should we do with our ashes?
00:05:53You won't even spare my ashes. After all, we killed Elizabeth. What if she becomes an
00:05:59evil spirit and comes back to haunt us? Why don't we scatter her ashes to the wind and
00:06:08put an end to this cursed fate?
00:06:10What?
00:06:14Lauren is right. Her family worshiped the Nuo goddess. Very superstitious. We can't let
00:06:20her harm us.
00:06:23No!
00:06:23No!
00:06:38Why? We've grown up together. Why are you doing this to me? Why?
00:07:10Luthor!
00:07:26Elizabeth, I'm too late.
00:07:56All these years, Jaden was gentle, Colton was compassionate, Jareth was passionate, yet they scattered
00:08:09my ashes to the wind.
00:08:12Luther was aloof, and we were never close, but in the end, he was the one who collected
00:08:18my remains.
00:08:23Elizabeth, I'll take you home.
00:08:32I was wrong, in this life, if I could start over, I would never repeat the same mistakes.
00:08:50Elizabeth, who is your favorite?
00:08:52This is the selection day.
00:08:55Elizabeth, Book of Fate.
00:08:56I've been reborn.
00:08:59You're choosing Jaden, right?
00:09:01You blush whenever you see him.
00:09:03Born again.
00:09:04How could I possibly choose Jaden again?
00:09:08I choose Luthor.
00:09:13I choose Luthor.
00:09:15Luthor is the least close to you.
00:09:17He's marked for an early death.
00:09:19Didn't you always like Jaden the most?
00:09:21I want to choose Luthor.
00:09:23You said I was blessed, can change others' fates.
00:09:27Besides, you personally approved these books of fate.
00:09:31Among the five of them, whose fate is truly good then.
00:09:37In my last life, with the power of the Nuo Goddess, I changed their fates, so the five
00:09:42great families could carry on.
00:09:44But in this life, I'll never interfere with their destinies.
00:09:56In this life, I will never marry Jaden, nor will I ever again change their fates.
00:10:03Elizabeth.
00:10:10Elizabeth, the one I love is Lauren.
00:10:13Even if you choose me on the selection day, I won't marry you.
00:10:16Why is it different this time?
00:10:18Do you know what this means?
00:10:22Isn't it just losing your inheritance?
00:10:24I don't care at all.
00:10:26In this life, I want to hold my destiny in my own hands.
00:10:29He said this life, just as I thought he was reborn too.
00:10:33In his last life, he faked his death to deceive me, making me spend half my life in pain and
00:10:40guilt.
00:10:41In this life, he has the nerve to bring Lauren here and confess to me.
00:10:45Since you've made up your mind, we won't be expecting you on selection day.
00:10:52Jaden?
00:10:54Let's just break up.
00:10:55Elizabeth likes you so much.
00:10:57Her mother is so powerful.
00:10:58Lauren.
00:11:00In this life, I don't want to have any more regrets.
00:11:03Poems you wrote, paintings you did, the music you played.
00:11:06I love them all.
00:11:08I want us to be out in the open.
00:11:10I want to see you in the sunlight.
00:11:20It seems Jaden truly loves Lauren, but he didn't know.
00:11:25The perfect girl persona he fell for was built on work she stole from me.
00:11:32Jaden, do you truly know if you fell in love with Lauren, or my soul behind Lauren?
00:11:45Jaden's sudden announcement was to force me to give him up.
00:11:48Everyone is saying they're a perfect match.
00:11:50If I meddle in their affairs, I'll just become a homewrecker.
00:11:54When Jaden was little, he kept saying he'd marry you.
00:11:58How did he suddenly get together with your best friend?
00:12:01His grandfather owes me a life.
00:12:03I'll make him break Jaden's legs right now.
00:12:06Mom, nothing good comes from force.
00:12:09Who he wants to be with is his choice to make.
00:12:12That kid has terrible taste.
00:12:13First, Lauren's private life is such a mess.
00:12:16You even helped her once.
00:12:19Not just once.
00:12:21In my last life, I helped her twice.
00:12:24If I remember correctly the second time, will happen tomorrow.
00:12:36You are so beautiful.
00:12:39Lauren's private life is a mess.
00:12:41The last time when this video was exposed, I used the power of Nuo to suppress it for
00:12:46her.
00:12:47But this time, I won't help her again.
00:12:51Lauren, don't cry yet.
00:12:53We all believe you.
00:12:53But what exactly happened?
00:12:56Elizabeth did all this.
00:12:58What?
00:12:59How dare she do this to you?
00:13:01Lauren, do you have proof?
00:13:03Proof?
00:13:05Come on, girl.
00:13:07The person in the video isn't me.
00:13:08It's Elizabeth!
00:13:10I already promised to cover for her, but she turned her back on me and threw me under
00:13:16the bus.
00:13:17How can I face people?
00:13:21I never thought she could be this vicious.
00:13:23Lauren, don't worry.
00:13:25I'll make her clarify everything and apologize to you.
00:13:27Otherwise, I won't let her off the hook.
00:13:32Elizabeth, I bet you didn't see this coming.
00:13:34I already had someone film a backup video, so I could frame you when someone exposes it.
00:13:43Elizabeth, why are you framing Lauren?
00:13:45Are you hurting her?
00:13:46Just because I love her.
00:13:52Lauren!
00:13:53Elizabeth!
00:13:54It's all my fault.
00:13:56I clearly knew you and Jayden were engaged.
00:13:59But I'm still falling in love with him.
00:14:02Elizabeth!
00:14:02Elizabeth, you've gone too far this time.
00:14:04If these videos get out, how could Lauren face anyone?
00:14:07I'll only say this once.
00:14:09I didn't do this.
00:14:10If not you, then who, Elizabeth?
00:14:12Think I'll leave Lauren just because of these rumors to make me marry you?
00:14:16How many more vicious tricks do you have?
00:14:18How arrogant to think that I have to marry you.
00:14:22In this life, I'd rather marry a dying man to be a widow than marry you.
00:14:26Elizabeth, you must publicly apologize to restore Lauren's reputation.
00:14:30Otherwise, even if you choose me, I won't marry you.
00:14:34Me neither.
00:14:36I won't either.
00:14:37But we grew up together.
00:14:39So if you clear her name, maybe I'll pity you and marry you.
00:14:44Jayden and Lauren are true love.
00:14:46Do you have to be a homewrecker?
00:14:48Their parents begged for this arranged engagement.
00:14:50Why does it feel like marrying me is supposed to be a huge favor in their eyes?
00:14:57As the daughter of Nuro, I'm privileged just to be their friends.
00:15:01They ganged up on me as kids and locked me in a pigsty.
00:15:04I was foolishly covering for them.
00:15:07That sincerity was well wasted.
00:15:09If you don't want to marry me, just don't come to my house in three days.
00:15:13But for me to clarify, it's impossible.
00:15:16Elizabeth, you clearly know they can't defy their elders.
00:15:20That's why you said that, to force us.
00:15:23Elizabeth, we gave you a chance to apologize.
00:15:25Since you don't want to…
00:15:27Don't blame me for being ruthless.
00:15:34What do you want?
00:15:37Elizabeth!
00:15:38Look at the news.
00:15:39What did it say?
00:15:44Recently, an intimate video circulated online.
00:15:47It appears to be Elizabeth, the daughter of the Nuro goddess.
00:15:50Just to clear her name, you spread rumors about me.
00:15:53Nonsense.
00:15:54All alone.
00:15:54You've been slandering, Lauren.
00:15:56I've already given you a chance to apologize.
00:15:58But you were so stubborn, so we…
00:16:00Had no choice but to post the video.
00:16:02This is our punishment for you.
00:16:04Alright.
00:16:05Time to clear Lauren's name on stream.
00:16:08Let's go.
00:16:14You should take a look at how people are cursing you.
00:16:17This is the price for bullying, Lauren.
00:16:21Price?
00:16:21I'll let you know.
00:16:22What price you'll pay for spreading rumors about me.
00:16:25Lauren could write a seven-step poem at seven…
00:16:28I suffered from severe insomnia.
00:16:30She played piano to help me sleep and even wrote a lullaby just for me.
00:16:34Before I confessed, I saw a painting in her studio.
00:16:37Although without the facial features, I knew the person she drew was me.
00:16:42Lauren cried and begged for the poem I wrote at five.
00:16:45Elizabeth, elders want a poetry showcase.
00:16:50But I can't do it.
00:16:52Could you give me your poem?
00:16:55Otherwise, my dad will hit me.
00:16:58Here you go.
00:16:59At the family gathering, she recited my poem, saying it was hers.
00:17:04When I was 18, I stayed at Lauren's house, and Jayden lived next door.
00:17:09I played piano every night.
00:17:11Lauren really liked that nameless tune, so she posted it online.
00:17:15And suddenly became a little star.
00:17:17The poem I wrote, the music I composed, built Lauren's image as a top-notch star,
00:17:22so that Jayden fell for her.
00:17:25As for that painting…
00:17:29Before I even finished the face, Lauren imitated the style,
00:17:33and took it to a world-class contest, won the first place.
00:17:36Afterwards, Lauren begged me not to expose her.
00:17:41I originally intended to give this painting to Jayden,
00:17:44but now…
00:17:46I can't capture him on canvas anymore.
00:17:49We were meant to be in love.
00:17:51He fell in love with my soul.
00:17:52He'd rather fake his death.
00:17:54Give up everything to live with, Lauren.
00:17:57As for me, I spent my entire life desperately searching for him,
00:18:02only to be burned alive.
00:18:04That's right.
00:18:05Lauren is the best girl in this world.
00:18:07If possible, we hope no one will.
00:18:10Destroy her happiness.
00:18:11Don't destroy her happiness.
00:18:13What about my life then?
00:18:15So it's fine for you to trample all over it.
00:18:30Three…
00:18:32Two…
00:18:32Thank you, brothers Jayden, and I will…
00:18:44All I did was touch the bell.
00:18:46And you're all panicking like this.
00:18:48What five great families?
00:18:50You're nothing special.
00:18:54Hello, Grandpa Edward.
00:18:56Elizabeth, it was all those kids' fault.
00:18:59All families have teamed up and taken down the video,
00:19:01and stopped the livestream.
00:19:03You and your mother, please don't be angry.
00:19:05How about this?
00:19:06Tomorrow, we'll hold an auction.
00:19:08You, Jayden, and the others can reconnect.
00:19:10Don't let those worthless things come between you.
00:19:14Okay.
00:19:16Jayden, you kept saying you love the soul behind this painting.
00:19:20Then I'll auction this painting.
00:19:22Wonder what your face will look when you find out.
00:19:26I painted this.
00:19:38Jayden, do you know who I drew?
00:19:40You probably figured it out right away.
00:19:43That's right.
00:19:44It's you, Jayden.
00:19:47Do you know?
00:19:48I've liked you since I was little.
00:19:50When we grow up, can I choose you to be my husband?
00:19:54I will definitely be a good wife.
00:20:08Elizabeth, posting your private photos was my fault.
00:20:12My parents have already taught me a harsh lesson.
00:20:15Could you forgive me?
00:20:17The video was well edited.
00:20:19Except the girl's face.
00:20:22It's all a real-life recreation.
00:20:26Did you find a girl who looks like me and got your boyfriends to reshoot the video?
00:20:35So what if it's fake?
00:20:37It's enough if everyone buys it.
00:20:39The elders of the family's house seem to be placating you.
00:20:42But actually, they all believe it.
00:20:44Your mom said you were born with good luck.
00:20:48In the end, aren't you still beneath my feet?
00:20:58Jayden!
00:21:00I just wanted to apologize to Elizabeth.
00:21:03But she ignored me.
00:21:08Elizabeth, can you just knock it off?
00:21:10Using the elders to pressure us.
00:21:12Is that fun?
00:21:14Apologize to Lauren now.
00:21:15Jayden!
00:21:16Are you crazy?
00:21:17Let go!
00:21:22This is...
00:21:24Elizabeth, how could you plagiarize me?
00:21:28Elizabeth, you've disappointed me so much.
00:21:31Just because Jayden rejected you.
00:21:33You're framing Lauren with a fake painting.
00:21:35How despicable you are.
00:21:43I didn't plagiarize.
00:21:45Do you want to see how I did it?
00:21:57Elizabeth, tell the organizers to pull this painting.
00:22:00I won't allow even a whisper against Lauren.
00:22:11I'm not pulling it.
00:22:13Experts only need one glance to know that I paint better than Lauren.
00:22:17By then, who copied whom will be crystal clear.
00:22:25The next charity auction item is a painting created by Miss Elizabeth.
00:22:29Starting bid 100,000.
00:22:35Lauren, your glory as a talented girl was stolen from me.
00:22:39In my last life, I never exposed you.
00:22:41For old times' sake.
00:22:42In this life, are you ready to give it all back to me?
00:22:48What's going on?
00:23:02For Lauren.
00:23:03You actually destroyed my painting.
00:23:05It's clearly your plagiarized her work.
00:23:08How dare you show it?
00:23:09I will never let you smear Lauren again.
00:23:13In my past life, Jayden wouldn't let me paint or play the piano.
00:23:20Elizabeth, I don't want you to spend too much time on these things.
00:23:23I want you to spend more time with me.
00:23:26He claimed he wanted me to keep him company.
00:23:28But actually, he didn't want to see any trace of Lauren in me.
00:23:32In this life, to protect Lauren's reputation, they didn't hesitate to destroy my hard work.
00:23:41Look who it is!
00:23:43This is too explosive!
00:23:45So disgusting!
00:23:47What are they filming?
00:23:49This is Miss Elizabeth's latest donation.
00:23:51The version circulated online was censored.
00:23:55Whoever bids on this can get the original video.
00:23:58Starting bid 1 million.
00:24:00So disgusting!
00:24:02What is this?
00:24:03I didn't expect much from her.
00:24:04But this goes far beyond anything I imagined.
00:24:07Let's bid on it to see what her figure is like.
00:24:09Is she hot?
00:24:101.1 million.
00:24:121.25 million.
00:24:14Elizabeth, I tried to stop them.
00:24:16But they said, they just wanted to stand up for me.
00:24:20As long as you destroy the creation records of that painting.
00:24:24I'll get them to...
00:24:25Buy your private photos back.
00:24:291.5 million.
00:24:31Everyone!
00:24:31You don't need to compete with me.
00:24:33I'll bid on this item and send a copy to...
00:24:36Everyone present.
00:24:37Jareth!
00:24:39You made the elders.
00:24:40Kill the video and livestream.
00:24:42Fine!
00:24:43I have plenty of money.
00:24:45I'll buy it and show the world.
00:24:47Alright.
00:24:47You have nothing to compete with me.
00:24:52Elizabeth, I won't let Jareth send the video to anyone.
00:24:57But you almost ruined Laura because of your jealousy.
00:25:01I have to teach you a lesson.
00:25:04Look!
00:25:05Everyone has stopped bidding.
00:25:07This video...
00:25:08Is mine!
00:25:12Luthor.
00:25:13Here.
00:25:15I'm going.
00:25:16All in for her.
00:25:23Luthor.
00:25:23Here.
00:25:24I'm going.
00:25:26All in for her.
00:25:27All in for Miss Elizabeth.
00:25:28It's Luthor again.
00:25:29In my last life, they scattered my ashes.
00:25:32Luthor was the one who gathered my remains.
00:25:34It's just an intimate video.
00:25:36Mr. Luthor actually went all in.
00:25:38Just a video.
00:25:39This sickly guy barely leaves the house all year.
00:25:42Why is he coming here to mess with us?
00:25:44Don't forget.
00:25:44He was also chosen as a fiancé for Elizabeth.
00:25:48Could he be trying to win over Elizabeth?
00:25:50So...
00:25:51She'll choose him.
00:25:52At tomorrow's engagement banquet,
00:25:53even if Elizabeth doesn't choose Jaden,
00:25:56she'll choose between the two of us.
00:25:58How could she possibly choose this sickly guy?
00:26:04Elizabeth doesn't want us to get this video.
00:26:08But she hopes Luthor gets it.
00:26:09What?
00:26:10Is she seeing Luthor as her savior?
00:26:13I am.
00:26:15Mr. Jaden.
00:26:18Going all in.
00:26:19He's going all in too.
00:26:21They're going head to head.
00:26:23Jaden.
00:26:24What are you doing?
00:26:25Five million.
00:26:26Ten million.
00:26:27This is gonna be good.
00:26:29Fifteen million?
00:26:30It's still going up.
00:26:32Twenty million.
00:26:35Fifteen million.
00:26:41Fifteen million.
00:26:46Five hundred million.
00:26:47Five hundred million.
00:26:48Five hundred million.
00:26:49He's gone ten times higher.
00:26:50It's just a video.
00:26:51He actually bid five hundred million for it.
00:26:53He's crazy.
00:26:56Jaden.
00:26:57What exactly do you want?
00:26:59Are you standing up for Elizabeth?
00:27:01What about me?
00:27:02What am I to you?
00:27:04Five hundred million.
00:27:05Going once.
00:27:06Five hundred million.
00:27:07Going twice.
00:27:08Five hundred million.
00:27:09Going three times.
00:27:10This video goes to Mr. Luthor.
00:27:21He's a sore loser.
00:27:30All this for a woman.
00:27:34Miss Elizabeth.
00:27:35Mr. Luthor asked me to give it to you.
00:27:37Mr. Luthor said.
00:27:38There are two videos here.
00:27:40The other one is.
00:27:41The original video.
00:27:42Of Miss Lauren.
00:27:43Mr. Luthor said.
00:27:44It's at your disposal.
00:27:45He's got your back.
00:27:51Dying young.
00:27:53That's indeed his fate.
00:27:55Choosing him in this life.
00:27:57Doesn't mean I loved him.
00:27:58But right now.
00:27:59I feel that.
00:28:01Changing his fate.
00:28:02And spending a lifetime with him.
00:28:04May not be a bad idea.
00:28:14Elizabeth.
00:28:21We're selling your private photos.
00:28:23Yet you still won't yield the records.
00:28:25Do you really want to ruin Lauren's career?
00:28:27She's an artist.
00:28:29And emotionally sensitive.
00:28:30Once she's tainted with plagiarism.
00:28:32Her life is over.
00:28:34If she's ruined.
00:28:35So be it.
00:28:37What does that have to do with me?
00:28:41In my past life.
00:28:43I helped Lauren over and over.
00:28:45I thought she was my best friend.
00:28:46But she was already having an affair.
00:28:48With my husband.
00:28:50Why are you so stubborn?
00:28:55I guess I deserve this.
00:28:57I know.
00:28:59You're only targeting Lauren because of me.
00:29:02If I agree to marry you.
00:29:04Will you let her go?
00:29:06He loves her that much.
00:29:07In past life.
00:29:09He faked his death for her.
00:29:10In this life.
00:29:11He'd marry me just for her.
00:29:13Listen to that patronizing tone.
00:29:15As if marrying me is some grand favor.
00:29:17Come with your proposal tomorrow.
00:29:20I'll tell you the answer.
00:29:24Fine.
00:29:25You win again.
00:29:27I will marry you.
00:29:30But I never said I would marry you.
00:29:33Tomorrow.
00:29:34You'll see.
00:29:34The real Lauren.
00:29:36Is so hypocritical.
00:29:37And malicious.
00:29:38The one you love.
00:29:39Is nothing but a snake.
00:29:47Elizabeth.
00:29:51I'm late.
00:29:54Elizabeth.
00:29:57I'll take you home.
00:30:00In this lifetime.
00:30:01Luther and I will definitely have.
00:30:04A different ending.
00:30:19Elizabeth.
00:30:20Will you marry me?
00:30:24Elizabeth.
00:30:25If Jayden doesn't want to marry you.
00:30:26I'll always be here for you.
00:30:29They're doing everything they can.
00:30:31So Jayden and Lauren can be together.
00:30:34They clearly don't like me.
00:30:36But they act like they can't live without me.
00:30:39Don't worry Lauren.
00:30:41I'll find a way.
00:30:42For us to be together.
00:30:45Bitch.
00:30:46They clearly admire me.
00:30:48Why are you the one?
00:30:49They're all proposing too.
00:30:51I won't let you enjoy this for long.
00:30:53Elizabeth.
00:30:54Marry me.
00:30:56It would mean the world to grandpa.
00:30:59It happened just like this the last time.
00:31:01And I was so overjoyed.
00:31:03I threw myself into his arms.
00:31:04Believing my years of silent devotion.
00:31:06Were finally being answered.
00:31:08But I failed to see.
00:31:09He only said grandpa would be happy.
00:31:12He never said if he was happy.
00:31:37Elizabeth.
00:31:39I'm here as promised.
00:31:41What more do you want?
00:31:42Just give me the marriage covenant.
00:31:48Jaden. Look closely. Whose name is on this covenant?
00:31:57How is that possible?
00:32:00I told you I won't choose you. The name on my marriage covenant is Luther.
00:32:06Of all people, we should have avoided him. They have been in decline for years.
00:32:10And besides, he has a congenital heart disease. He won't even live past 30.
00:32:14Elizabeth, are you blind? Even if you're picking a backup, it has to be me.
00:32:20Why should I pick you? You're a hopeless womanizer. Lost in cheap flings.
00:32:24And I'm not interested in picking up garbage like you.
00:32:27But how could you choose Luther? What about Colton?
00:32:30He's been the best to you. He's kept himself pure for you. Where does that leave him?
00:32:35Do you think Colton wants to play the Luther?
00:32:39That's because he didn't have a choice.
00:32:44Elizabeth, you swore you wouldn't tell anyone else.
00:32:47Colton, you also promised you would protect me forever.
00:32:50But you...
00:32:52In my past life, I lost my fingers. Because of you.
00:32:55And you helped them burn me alive.
00:32:59I won't allow it.
00:33:01How could you choose someone else?
00:33:03Exactly.
00:33:04And that short-lived wretch...
00:33:07Elizabeth, I'm giving you a chance to choose again.
00:33:09I said I'll marry you.
00:33:11He knows how much I loved him in my past life.
00:33:14That's why he's so arrogant.
00:33:15He thinks his consent is a grace I should beg for.
00:33:18But I'm no longer that Elizabeth anymore.
00:33:20Jayden, you told me never to choose you.
00:33:23So I'll grant your wish. I hope you and Lauren are happy.
00:33:27Give me the marriage covenant.
00:33:33Jayden, isn't it better this way?
00:33:37Didn't you hate being stuck with her?
00:33:46Jayden, there's no need to make things this ugly.
00:33:48She already said she won't choose you.
00:33:50So stop pestering her.
00:33:54Pestering?
00:33:56How could I possibly be pestering her?
00:33:59You've misunderstood.
00:34:01We grew up together after all.
00:34:02Seeing her throw her life away on you.
00:34:04I just had to talk some sense into her.
00:34:06Don't concern yourself with it.
00:34:07Luther, you think you've won, don't you?
00:34:10You dumped her, so she's running to you.
00:34:12You really have no standards, do you?
00:34:15At yesterday's auction, you went all in to buy her private videos.
00:34:18And now you can't wait to marry her.
00:34:20You?
00:34:21We all grew up together.
00:34:22Can't you tell?
00:34:23That the person in the video isn't her.
00:34:25Elizabeth has a red mole behind her ear.
00:34:27But the person in the video doesn't have one.
00:34:29I don't know who's behind this.
00:34:30But that person is such an amateur.
00:34:34I was never close to him since childhood.
00:34:36Yet he could tell it wasn't me.
00:34:38What?
00:34:40I've clung to Jaden.
00:34:42I even married him.
00:34:44And he still couldn't tell.
00:34:46As long as Lauren said it's me.
00:34:48He would believe that's me.
00:34:53Lauren.
00:34:55That's right, Lauren.
00:34:57You're still so careless.
00:35:00Elizabeth.
00:35:01You know exactly what you did.
00:35:04Besides a red mole behind the ear.
00:35:07Can be erased with AI.
00:35:08That proves nothing.
00:35:09You really are the type.
00:35:11Who has to learn the hard way?
00:35:13Miss Sylvia Elizabeth.
00:35:14What on earth is going on?
00:35:16We're here for the engagement.
00:35:17Why are you accusing Lauren now?
00:35:19Exactly.
00:35:20We're still one of the great families.
00:35:22And Lauren is still your best friend.
00:35:24Just because Jaden fell for her.
00:35:27Doesn't mean you can smear her, right?
00:35:29I've brought everyone involved in that video here.
00:35:32I ask you to bear witness.
00:35:35Let's see who is slandering whom.
00:35:42Now, speak up.
00:35:44Who put you up to this?
00:35:52You.
00:35:53How did you find them?
00:35:55We have ways of finding things out.
00:35:57Finding a few people.
00:35:59There's nothing but a snap of my fingers.
00:36:01Speak.
00:36:02I want to see.
00:36:03Who dares to slander my daughter?
00:36:05She was the one who slept with us.
00:36:07She was the one who paid me.
00:36:08To make that video with them.
00:36:11I can't believe she's this kind of person.
00:36:13You all heard that.
00:36:15Lauren.
00:36:17They're just lying.
00:36:19Elizabeth.
00:36:20We grew up together.
00:36:21They're all your fiancés.
00:36:23You already have everything.
00:36:24Why do you still want to hurt me?
00:36:27Lauren.
00:36:28If you still refuse to admit it.
00:36:31Then I'll just have to show the full video.
00:36:33For everyone.
00:36:34No.
00:36:35It wasn't me.
00:36:36Elizabeth.
00:36:37You clearly framed me.
00:36:42Lauren.
00:36:46Lauren has always kept herself pure.
00:36:48I don't believe she would do this.
00:36:50You're the one behind this.
00:36:51Elizabeth.
00:36:52How could you be so malicious?
00:36:57How can you be so malicious?
00:37:03Now that Elizabeth chose the lose, Mr. Liam will stay.
00:37:07The rest of you may leave.
00:37:09Jaden was too blind for this blessing.
00:37:12This marriage was beyond our fate.
00:37:14Let's go.
00:37:15Okay.
00:37:15Go.
00:37:16Mr. Liam.
00:37:18Please?
00:37:20There was a time when the five of us were a tight-knit little bunch I put up with their
00:37:25spoiled temperaments.
00:37:26And they pretended to care about me.
00:37:29But once Lauren was involved, they wouldn't hesitate to cast me aside.
00:37:35Even today, they still took her side.
00:37:38They are not worth it.
00:37:48Then are you worth it?
00:37:50I was born a lucky charm.
00:37:51I'm your ticket to a better life.
00:38:00Elizabeth.
00:38:01Neither am I.
00:38:03You're smart.
00:38:05You should understand what this means.
00:38:14Are you rejecting me?
00:38:16But we already made...
00:38:17The marriage covenant.
00:38:18My mom has already sent the invitations worldwide.
00:38:21You can't seriously expect me to show up alone.
00:38:23To our wedding.
00:38:27Don't be so stressed.
00:38:29I'm pretty open-minded.
00:38:30If you die young,
00:38:32I'll spend your money.
00:38:34On some boy toys.
00:38:37Then I'll make sure you're set for life.
00:38:41I said something so harsh.
00:38:43Yet he still chose to indulge me.
00:38:45And even wants to give me more.
00:38:47This is something I never had with Jayden.
00:38:51When I was with them,
00:38:53they're all spoiled heirs after all.
00:38:55So I was always the one giving.
00:38:57And putting up with them.
00:38:59Without realizing it.
00:39:00I became nothing but a maid.
00:39:09Luther.
00:39:11Luther.
00:39:11Long time no see.
00:39:12I've missed you so much.
00:39:17Luther.
00:39:19Long time no see.
00:39:20I've missed you.
00:39:36I used to think Luther was as cold as a corpse.
00:39:41Only after being reborn did I realize
00:39:43that Luther is the best.
00:39:46He might look cold on the outside,
00:39:47but his heart is warm.
00:39:49When he sees me cry,
00:39:50he becomes so tender.
00:39:56Luther.
00:39:57I keep my word.
00:39:59If I say you won't die,
00:40:01even death leaves you alone.
00:40:02I will change your fate
00:40:04and ensure you a life of wealth
00:40:05and longevity.
00:40:14Yeezy.
00:40:15Lauren.
00:40:16Are you okay?
00:40:18I knew it.
00:40:20Elizabeth brought those people
00:40:21and you all believed her story.
00:40:24We grew up together.
00:40:26In your eyes.
00:40:28Am I really that kind of person?
00:40:30Jareth.
00:40:31Do you believe her too?
00:40:34Elizabeth is really something...
00:40:37She described a few people
00:40:38and some clever lies.
00:40:40She turned you all against me.
00:40:42If that's it,
00:40:42why are you staying with me?
00:40:44Go to her instead.
00:40:45Lauren.
00:40:47So you're saying
00:40:48those people were
00:40:49brought by Elizabeth to frame you?
00:40:51Have you forgotten
00:40:52what her family does?
00:40:53That Nuo-Goddess nonsense.
00:40:55They're just charlatans
00:40:56twisting people's minds.
00:40:57Those people were bewitched.
00:40:59Of course they say.
00:41:00Whatever she told them to.
00:41:02What can I do?
00:41:02I don't even have a chance
00:41:03to prove my innocence.
00:41:06Yeah.
00:41:07With all that mumbo-jumbo
00:41:08her family deals with,
00:41:09it's impossible to explain.
00:41:10Lauren has always been pure and innocent.
00:41:12How could she do such things?
00:41:13Elizabeth is really going too far.
00:41:18Elizabeth is really going too far.
00:41:21Right.
00:41:22Jayden.
00:41:29Jayden.
00:41:30Even you don't believe me.
00:41:32I've loved you since we kids.
00:41:34I sketched you secretly
00:41:35when you couldn't sleep.
00:41:36I played the piano every day
00:41:38to help you asleep.
00:41:39and you said
00:41:40you loved my poems the most.
00:41:42Have you forgotten all of that?
00:41:45Jayden.
00:41:46What are you thinking?
00:41:47You love Lauren in both lives.
00:41:50You know exactly
00:41:51what she's like.
00:41:54I haven't forgotten.
00:41:56Just focus on your recovery.
00:41:58I have things to handle.
00:41:59I'll come see you later.
00:42:04Jayden.
00:42:07Lauren.
00:42:09I know you better than anyone,
00:42:11don't I?
00:42:13I've known that.
00:42:14You were adopted since we were kids.
00:42:17All these years.
00:42:19I've worked very hard
00:42:21to keep this secret for you.
00:42:23So,
00:42:24you'll always be on my side.
00:42:27Right?
00:42:32Lauren is clearly the one I love.
00:42:34But why do I feel sad
00:42:36when I saw Elizabeth's name
00:42:37paired with someone else's
00:42:38on that marriage covenant?
00:42:43Jayden!
00:42:44Elizabeth chose the Lou family.
00:42:46You-
00:42:46He's a dead man,
00:42:48walking.
00:42:49And the Lou family
00:42:50is the most faded
00:42:51among the five great families.
00:42:53What can he offer her?
00:42:55Elizabeth is just trying to spite me.
00:42:57She won't actually marry Luther.
00:42:59But the marriage covenant
00:43:00can't be faked.
00:43:01Once Elizabeth has made her choice,
00:43:02there's no turning back.
00:43:03If he dares to marry her,
00:43:05I'll bankrupt his family.
00:43:09In my previous life,
00:43:10I was born for wealth and success.
00:43:12Every investment I touched
00:43:14earned billions.
00:43:16And now I've been reborn.
00:43:19Luther is no match for me.
00:43:27Elizabeth?
00:43:28I heard...
00:43:29Jayden has made a move
00:43:30against the Lou family.
00:43:32Doesn't he love Lauren?
00:43:33So what is he doing this for?
00:43:36He's asking for it.
00:43:38Exactly.
00:43:39Luther may be short-lived,
00:43:41but his fate is noble
00:43:42while Jayden is fated from his fortune.
00:43:44Without us changing his fate,
00:43:46the Jiang family
00:43:46is destined to fall at his hands.
00:43:51Those are indeed their fates.
00:43:53In my previous life,
00:43:55I sacrificed my spiritual power
00:43:57to rewrite their fates.
00:43:59I ensured Jayden's success
00:44:01and wealth,
00:44:02secured Jareth's status,
00:44:04and kept Colton away from harm.
00:44:07But they all thought...
00:44:09They thought it was all meant to be.
00:44:11In this life,
00:44:12without my intervention,
00:44:14I'd like to see...
00:44:15them meet their true fates.
00:44:21The Lou family is here
00:44:22with the betrothal gifts.
00:44:23Well?
00:44:33Mr. Liam.
00:44:36Mr. Liam.
00:44:37What is all this?
00:44:39As soon as Luther got back,
00:44:41he told me to prepare
00:44:42the betrothal gifts.
00:44:43To be honest,
00:44:44I hope you don't laugh at us,
00:44:45Miss Sylvia.
00:44:45No one in our family
00:44:47ever thought Elizabeth
00:44:49would choose him.
00:44:51We had no preparations at all,
00:44:53so we rushed as fast as we could
00:44:55to get everything ready.
00:44:57Please take a look.
00:45:04In my past life,
00:45:05even when the Jiang family proposed,
00:45:07it wasn't this grand.
00:45:08The Lou family must have
00:45:09given us everything they had.
00:45:17Mr. Liam.
00:45:18Your family may not be
00:45:19the most prominent among us.
00:45:22When marrying off my daughter,
00:45:23it is never a matter of betrothal gifts.
00:45:25I appreciate the gesture,
00:45:26but there is truly no need.
00:45:28Well?
00:45:28Miss Sylvia,
00:45:29I've always been sickly.
00:45:31People said I won't live past 30.
00:45:33If I live,
00:45:34it would be Elizabeth's betrothal gifts.
00:45:37If I die,
00:45:38they will be her dowry.
00:45:40Everything will be up to her.
00:45:42I only want her to live a happy life.
00:45:44As for the family wealth,
00:45:45I don't want to deceive you.
00:45:47Over the years,
00:45:48the Lou family has been hiding
00:45:49its true strength
00:45:50to gradually cut ties
00:45:51with the other four families.
00:45:52The path thereon
00:45:53doesn't align with mine.
00:45:55Over the years,
00:45:55we have already
00:45:56developed our own power overseas.
00:45:58If Elizabeth marries me,
00:46:00no one will look down on her.
00:46:04If Elizabeth marries me,
00:46:05no one will look down on her.
00:46:17Don't cry.
00:46:18You never used to be
00:46:19such a crybaby.
00:46:20It's because you
00:46:21are not satisfied
00:46:22with the betrothal gifts.
00:46:24I can add more.
00:46:25That's enough, really.
00:46:26With this money,
00:46:27I could afford
00:46:28to have a toyboy every day
00:46:30for the rest of my life.
00:46:36Elizabeth,
00:46:37I was never afraid of dying.
00:46:39But when you
00:46:40handed me the marriage covenant yesterday,
00:46:42I was actually afraid,
00:46:44afraid of leaving you.
00:46:45I know you don't love me.
00:46:47You chose me
00:46:49because Jaden hurt you.
00:46:50But I'm greedy.
00:46:51I want to keep you by my side.
00:46:53Even if it's just for a year
00:46:55or a single day.
00:47:00Luthor,
00:47:01it's not that I don't like you.
00:47:02I realize the only one
00:47:04who truly cares about me
00:47:05is you.
00:47:06I want to be good to you, too.
00:47:07So for the rest of our lives,
00:47:09we're staying together forever.
00:47:19Now you believe me,
00:47:20don't you?
00:47:22Luthor,
00:47:23are you blushing?
00:47:39All right.
00:47:40You should head back now.
00:47:41No need to see me out.
00:47:42It's windy outside.
00:47:43I don't want you to leave.
00:47:50I'll pick you up
00:47:51and take you somewhere tomorrow.
00:48:06I'll be going now.
00:48:32Jaden,
00:48:33are you crazy?
00:48:34Let me go.
00:48:35Elizabeth.
00:48:36Is this your way
00:48:37of getting back at me?
00:48:39Have you lost your mind?
00:48:41Let go.
00:48:44Elizabeth I can overlook the rumors.
00:48:46You spread about Lauren.
00:48:47Just stop this.
00:48:49Okay.
00:48:49Rumors.
00:48:50Even after all this,
00:48:51you still think
00:48:52I'm making things up about her.
00:48:53She has always been timid.
00:48:55And she's a germaphobe.
00:48:56How could she possibly do?
00:48:57Something like that.
00:48:58But I know that's not you
00:49:00in the video.
00:49:01Lauren must have misunderstood as well.
00:49:02You grew up together.
00:49:04Don't let something so trivial
00:49:05ruin your friendship.
00:49:06Forget it.
00:49:07You never believed me anyway.
00:49:10So I have nothing left to say.
00:49:13Elizabeth.
00:49:14I'll give you one more chance
00:49:15to choose again.
00:49:16If you choose me,
00:49:17I can.
00:49:17Even if you give me a hundred
00:49:19or a thousand chances,
00:49:20I won't choose you.
00:49:21I'll only choose Luther.
00:49:26Luther is a dying man.
00:49:27What can he give you?
00:49:29Don't you dare say that about me.
00:49:31And he won't die young.
00:49:33I will change it.
00:49:34Enough, Elizabeth.
00:49:35Are you going to start
00:49:36that nonsense about
00:49:37changing his fate again?
00:49:38Do you know what I hate
00:49:39most about you?
00:49:40It's you.
00:49:41And your co-artist, Ma.
00:49:42Using that newer opera act
00:49:44to swindle people.
00:49:45Bad enough you fooled the elders.
00:49:47What year do you think it is?
00:49:48You really think
00:49:49you can fool us too?
00:49:50So you think.
00:49:51We are frauds.
00:49:53Aren't you?
00:49:54Your mom went to such lengths
00:49:55to spin those lies
00:49:56so you could marry an heir
00:49:57of the five great families,
00:49:58didn't she?
00:49:59In that case,
00:50:00my family
00:50:01is the wealthiest of all.
00:50:03I've said I'll marry you.
00:50:04Drop the act already.
00:50:06He has no idea.
00:50:08It was the co-artist,
00:50:09he said,
00:50:10who changed his fate
00:50:11in his past life,
00:50:12ensuring his success
00:50:13and lifelong fortune.
00:50:15Then what about Lauren?
00:50:16Marry me
00:50:17and keep her on the side.
00:50:19Or fake your death
00:50:21and run off with her.
00:50:23You.
00:50:26Elizabeth,
00:50:27you.
00:50:28Jaden,
00:50:28you were my only one.
00:50:30There was no one
00:50:30could catch my eye.
00:50:32Even when Jareth proposed
00:50:33and Colton stayed by my side
00:50:35for over a decade.
00:50:36But after I saw
00:50:37your true colors,
00:50:38accepting someone else
00:50:39became easy.
00:50:41In this world,
00:50:42tall or short,
00:50:43fat or thin,
00:50:44anyone is better than you.
00:50:45Not to mention,
00:50:46someone as good as Luther.
00:50:48So,
00:50:49please stop making a fool
00:50:50of yourself
00:50:51and don't show up
00:50:52in front of me again.
00:50:58Has she also been reborn?
00:51:00She has past life memories too.
00:51:03That's why she refused me this time.
00:51:05The Liu family
00:51:05will soon go bankrupt.
00:51:07I can't just stand by
00:51:08and watch her
00:51:09jump into that pit.
00:51:12Hello.
00:51:13Hello, Jaden.
00:51:14I'm performing
00:51:15going to concert tomorrow.
00:51:16Will you come with me?
00:51:18I'll play the piece.
00:51:19They used to accompany
00:51:20you all the time.
00:51:22It would be a shame
00:51:22if you weren't there.
00:51:24Okay.
00:51:25I'll pick you up tomorrow.
00:51:31Why did you bring me here?
00:51:34To challenge her.
00:51:38What do you mean?
00:51:39Years ago,
00:51:40Lauren stole the piece
00:51:41you composed
00:51:41and won the
00:51:41International Gold Medal.
00:51:43So all these years,
00:51:44you've never shown
00:51:44your talent on stage.
00:51:46Don't you want to
00:51:47take back the honor
00:51:48that you lost?
00:51:49How do you know?
00:51:50Because
00:51:51Jaden wasn't the only one
00:51:52listening to you play
00:51:53every day.
00:51:55I was there too.
00:51:58Go ahead.
00:51:59I'll be right there
00:52:00in the audience.
00:52:07Who's she?
00:52:08Why is she going on stage?
00:52:09We all came to hear
00:52:10Lauren play that signature piece.
00:52:11The one she won a medal for
00:52:12in high school.
00:52:12Exactly.
00:52:19Are we supposed to listen to her?
00:52:21Can she even play?
00:52:34That's beautiful.
00:52:39Isn't this Lauren's famous piece?
00:52:41It's Nightfall.
00:52:42The one that won
00:52:43the International Gold Medal.
00:52:44That's right.
00:52:45Lauren became a legend
00:52:46with this piece.
00:52:47But her later works
00:52:48never reached this level again.
00:52:51It was considered
00:52:52a great loss
00:52:52to the music world.
00:52:53But why do I feel like
00:52:54she plays even better?
00:53:01This is...
00:53:02This sound?
00:53:03It's Elizabeth.
00:53:07Who is that?
00:53:08Daring to play Lauren's piece.
00:53:16It's her.
00:53:17Elizabeth.
00:53:18Why are you so dazzling?
00:53:23Jaden?
00:53:24How could Elizabeth do this?
00:53:26She already stole my painting.
00:53:28Now she even wants
00:53:29to steal my composition.
00:53:30She knows exactly
00:53:31how important it is to us.
00:53:33I played this piece
00:53:34to help you sleep
00:53:35every night.
00:53:59Jaden.
00:54:02Elizabeth.
00:54:03Is it you?
00:54:08Elizabeth.
00:54:09Is it you?
00:54:10The one who played
00:54:11the piano.
00:54:12Was it you?
00:54:12No wonder all these years.
00:54:14Every time I heard
00:54:15Lauren play the piano,
00:54:16I always felt
00:54:17something was off.
00:54:17So I've been mistaken
00:54:18all this time.
00:54:23What brilliant playing!
00:54:25That's amazing.
00:54:35Elizabeth, what are you
00:54:36trying to do again?
00:54:37This is my stage.
00:54:39Get off my stage.
00:54:45This piece of music
00:54:46was composed by me.
00:54:48As for Lauren,
00:54:50she's just a despicable
00:54:51plagiarist.
00:54:54Elizabeth,
00:54:55what are you talking about?
00:54:57This piece of music
00:54:58was composed
00:54:58when I was 18.
00:55:00Everyone in the music industry
00:55:01knows that I considered
00:55:01you my best friend.
00:55:03And this is how
00:55:03you treat me.
00:55:04Elizabeth?
00:55:05That's enough.
00:55:06We've all seen
00:55:07Lauren's talent
00:55:07from way back.
00:55:08Did you have to
00:55:09embarrass her in public?
00:55:10Like this.
00:55:11Elizabeth,
00:55:12don't be jealous of others.
00:55:13Stop arguing with Lauren.
00:55:14Some things aren't worth
00:55:15proving.
00:55:16At everyone's expense.
00:55:20Jealous.
00:55:25I, Elizabeth,
00:55:26have always been
00:55:26open and honest.
00:55:27I've never been
00:55:28jealous of anyone.
00:55:29This piece of music
00:55:30was composed by me.
00:55:35How can you prove it?
00:55:36Back then,
00:55:37it really was you
00:55:38playing the piano
00:55:39at the Liu family's place.
00:55:40Back then,
00:55:41Lauren eavesdropped
00:55:42on me playing
00:55:42and stole my composition.
00:55:44But she slipped up
00:55:45and made a couple
00:55:46of mistakes.
00:55:47That's why
00:55:48every time she plays it,
00:55:49there are always
00:55:50something off.
00:55:51Real professionals
00:55:52find this very regrettable.
00:55:53Am I right?
00:55:58Am I right?
00:55:59Exactly.
00:56:00My mentors still
00:56:01bring it up to this day,
00:56:02saying what a real shame it was.
00:56:04Even now,
00:56:04they still feel
00:56:05that a piece like this
00:56:06should have been flawless.
00:56:07Now that you mention it,
00:56:08I do remember something.
00:56:10Before,
00:56:10when I heard Lauren play,
00:56:11this version,
00:56:12I always felt
00:56:12there were two odd parts.
00:56:14But when she played just now,
00:56:16I didn't feel that way at all.
00:56:17Could it be
00:56:18that Lauren really stole it?
00:56:20That's a lie.
00:56:21I was only 18 back then.
00:56:22I wasn't that good yet.
00:56:24It was inevitable
00:56:25to have some mistakes.
00:56:27Oh, really?
00:56:28But now you're good.
00:56:29Why can't you compose
00:56:31a better piece
00:56:31than this one?
00:56:33I...
00:56:33That's because this piece
00:56:35isn't yours at all.
00:56:36This piece is flawless.
00:56:38The original score
00:56:40is right here with me.
00:56:45Elizabeth,
00:56:46what exactly do you want?
00:56:48Is ruining me
00:56:48really that much fun?
00:56:50Exactly.
00:56:51If you mess up,
00:56:52you pay the price.
00:56:58This...
00:56:59It's not just
00:57:00Elizabeth's compositions,
00:57:01but also the poetry she wrote,
00:57:02and the paintings she created.
00:57:04Has Lauren plagiarized everything?
00:57:08No.
00:57:09No, no, no.
00:57:11I wrote all of these.
00:57:12I painted them.
00:57:13What does this have to do
00:57:14with Elizabeth?
00:57:15Jayden, you believe me.
00:57:17Right.
00:57:18You saw me paint it
00:57:20with your own eyes.
00:57:21These are photos from 2017
00:57:22that captured the entire process
00:57:23of Elizabeth creating her painting.
00:57:25Lauren plagiarized everything.
00:57:27Her style, her technique,
00:57:28even her entire color palette.
00:57:34This painting...
00:57:37Did you really paint it?
00:57:41It's a painting of me.
00:57:43Exactly.
00:57:46So?
00:57:48You liked me eight years ago,
00:57:50didn't you?
00:57:51Yes.
00:57:53So you...
00:57:55But you ruin it
00:57:56with your own hands.
00:57:59What's going on?
00:58:13I was out of my mind
00:58:15before.
00:58:18But now...
00:58:24I've found true happiness.
00:58:32Luthor, let's go.
00:58:42Elizabeth.
00:58:44Jayden, you have to believe me.
00:58:46I really composed this piece.
00:58:49I was the one playing piano for you
00:58:50every night back then.
00:58:54Lauren!
00:58:55You've been deceiving me
00:58:56for so many years
00:58:57and made me lose Elizabeth.
00:58:59If Elizabeth doesn't forgive me,
00:59:02I definitely won't let you off.
00:59:06Jayden!
00:59:07Jayden!
00:59:10Elizabeth,
00:59:11can I move a little?
00:59:12I can't take it anymore.
00:59:14I'm tired too.
00:59:16My arm is sore.
00:59:17But you're not allowed to move.
00:59:18Okay, I won't move.
00:59:20Keep going.
00:59:29Elizabeth?
00:59:32Come here.
00:59:37What is it?
00:59:41Elizabeth?
00:59:44I want to...
00:59:45Do you want to...
00:59:47Do you want to...
00:59:49Do you want to...
00:59:58Do you want to move?
01:00:00Do you want to move?
01:00:07Do you want to move?
01:00:07Do you want to move?
01:00:10Do you want to move?
01:00:11Do you want to move?
01:00:11Do you want to move?
01:00:11Do you want to move?
01:00:11Do you want to move?
01:00:12Do you want to move?
01:00:15Do you want to move?
01:00:19Do you want to move?
01:00:30Elizabeth, a little louder, I'd like to hear it.
01:00:44For four hours straight, Luther was like a beast.
01:00:48He just can't get enough.
01:00:53You sound a little hoarse, honey.
01:00:56Have some pear juice to soothe your throat?
01:00:58Where did this pear juice come from?
01:01:00I just went out, and mom gave it to me.
01:01:03She said it's for us to soothe our throats.
01:01:07Who are you calling, mom?
01:01:09We're not even married yet.
01:01:16Will you drink it yourself?
01:01:17Or should I feed you?
01:01:25It's all your fault.
01:01:27You're right.
01:01:28It's my fault.
01:01:29You didn't like it at all.
01:01:31I forced you into it.
01:01:33Stop talking.
01:01:43Jareth.
01:01:45Hello.
01:01:46Elizabeth.
01:01:47How about we meet today?
01:01:49I was wrong about you before.
01:01:52So I want to apologize to you in person.
01:01:58Okay.
01:02:02Lauren, this is the last time I'm helping you.
01:02:05If you ever dare to use my identity to threaten me again.
01:02:08Don't blame me for being unkind.
01:02:10Jareth.
01:02:11How could I lie to you this time?
01:02:14I was forced into this.
01:02:15I don't have a choice.
01:02:21Elizabeth, you made me fall from grace.
01:02:25I won't let this go.
01:02:27I will take back everything that belongs to me.
01:02:33Where are you going?
01:02:34I'll go with you.
01:02:35Today there's going to be a good show.
01:03:03I'll go with you.
01:03:07As expected, Elizabeth is still so easy to fool.
01:03:11Let's drink to this.
01:03:12And let bygones be bygones.
01:03:28I'd like to see what tricks you're playing.
01:03:31Elizabeth I ordered your favorite food.
01:03:33Try it.
01:03:53Elizabeth, I promise you this is the last time.
01:04:15Elizabeth, I didn't want this to happen either.
01:04:17I promise.
01:04:19This is the last time.
01:04:22Jaden will be here soon.
01:04:24When he sees you like this, he'll definitely give up.
01:04:27Luther will let go too.
01:04:28But you don't have to worry.
01:04:30I'll marry you.
01:04:31Do you know what you're doing?
01:04:33Of course I know what I'm doing, Elizabeth.
01:04:35Actually, all these years, I've always liked you, Elizabeth.
01:04:39I had no choice.
01:04:40Lauren has my secret and has been threatening me.
01:04:43So I had to be mean to you and had to help her.
01:04:46Elizabeth, you'll forgive me, right?
01:04:49So Lauren knows too that Jareth wasn't the real young master of the Zhao family.
01:04:57It's almost time.
01:04:58Don't worry.
01:04:59I won't lay a hand on you.
01:05:00When Lauren brings Jaden and the reporter's here, we just need to put on a show.
01:05:06Do you really think you can drug me?
01:05:10Elizabeth, why are you still trying to act up?
01:05:13I personally saw you take the medicine and drink it all.
01:05:18But you forgot I am the daughter of Nuo.
01:05:21Your medicine has no effect on me at all.
01:05:30I didn't want to hurt you, but you leave me no choice.
01:05:34Elizabeth!
01:05:35What do they have that I don't...
01:05:37Get off me!
01:05:38Elizabeth.
01:05:47Elizabeth.
01:05:50Elizabeth, are you okay?
01:05:52I'm not the one who should be worried.
01:05:54Elizabeth, I really didn't expect this side of you.
01:05:58You're about to marry Luther.
01:06:00Yet you're still here, seducing Jareth.
01:06:04Elizabeth.
01:06:06No matter what, I'm going to destroy you.
01:06:10Mr. Jareth, I heard you're not the real young master of the Zhao family, is that true?
01:06:14I heard you always knew.
01:06:15Your biological parents are cleaners.
01:06:17Why didn't you acknowledge them?
01:06:20It's you!
01:06:24It's you!
01:06:26You!
01:06:27I've already followed your instructions, and brought Elizabeth to the hotel.
01:06:30What else do you want?
01:06:32All these years you've been blackmailing me with my identity and slandering Elizabeth.
01:06:35Isn't that enough?
01:06:40Mr. Jareth.
01:06:41Mr. Jareth.
01:06:42It wasn't me.
01:06:45Mr. Jareth.
01:06:46Let's go.
01:06:56It's you!
01:06:59All these years you've been threatening Jareth all this time and intentionally slandering her.
01:07:03No.
01:07:03It's not like that.
01:07:06Help me.
01:07:14Elizabeth.
01:07:17Elizabeth.
01:07:18I've always liked you.
01:07:20As long as you agree to call off the wedding, I can be your substitute groom.
01:07:23Luther!
01:07:24Luther could die at any moment.
01:07:25Are you really willing to live like a widow?
01:07:29The Jareth family is known for foresight, so I set up that accident, just to break her.
01:07:33And somehow, you still found us.
01:07:35But all this, she asked for it.
01:07:39You're like me.
01:07:40That's just because you're insecure about your physical defect.
01:07:44So you wish that everyone would abandon me?
01:07:46That way you could stay by my side forever, right?
01:07:49You're living in hell yourself.
01:07:51So you want to drag me down with you.
01:07:55I don't need this kind of cheap and twisted affection.
01:08:00I don't need this kind of cheap and twisted affection.
01:08:02So please, from now on, don't ever appear before me again.
01:08:07Let's go.
01:08:17Elizabeth.
01:08:22So, you already knew everyone's destiny.
01:08:27Jareth will be kicked out of the Jarl family.
01:08:30Colton will be disabled for life.
01:08:34Elizabeth.
01:08:35What else is there that I don't know about?
01:08:40Luther.
01:08:42Actually, I was reborn.
01:08:46In my past life, I used my spiritual power to change the fates of you four.
01:08:50I chose to marry Jaden.
01:08:52But Jaden only loved Lauren.
01:08:55He even faked his death.
01:08:57To be with Lauren.
01:08:58To save him.
01:09:01I lost two fingers.
01:09:05When I found him,
01:09:07he and Lauren already had a son and a daughter.
01:09:11And later...
01:09:12And later,
01:09:14Jareth set the fire and burned me alive.
01:09:17Before I died,
01:09:19I learned that Colton staged the accident.
01:09:23To have the propeller rip my fingers off.
01:09:25They didn't want me to disturb Lauren's happiness.
01:09:28So they trapped me in the fire.
01:09:31And burned me alive.
01:09:40Luthor.
01:09:41You were the one who collected my remains after I died.
01:09:47I saw your tears.
01:09:53That's when I realized...
01:09:55Among my four fiancés,
01:09:57Only you were sincere to me.
01:10:00Elizabeth.
01:10:07Alright, I'm done talking.
01:10:10Do you think I'm talking crazy?
01:10:13After all,
01:10:14everyone calls me a charlatan.
01:10:16I don't think that...
01:10:17There are many things
01:10:18that can't be explained.
01:10:20But they still exist.
01:10:22I've never looked down on your background.
01:10:25I just feel for you.
01:10:27I feel for what you've been through.
01:10:38Luthor.
01:10:39I won't interfere with their fates anymore.
01:10:43But you...
01:10:44I'll take care of you until the very end.
01:10:46Don't worry, you won't die young.
01:10:48We'll be healthy and safe.
01:10:51Together forever.
01:10:52Together forever.
01:11:10Jareth set a huge fire
01:11:12and burned me to death.
01:11:14Colton staged an accident.
01:11:16To have a propeller to rip my fingers off.
01:11:18They did all this so I wouldn't disturb.
01:11:20Lauren's happiness.
01:11:21They locked me in that blaze.
01:11:23And burned me alive.
01:11:27Post Lauren's video online.
01:11:29Make a trend for a few days.
01:11:31I want everyone to know...
01:11:33what she did.
01:11:34Yes, sir.
01:11:35Tell the Jean family.
01:11:36If they want to maintain their current status,
01:11:38they must kick Jareth out.
01:11:40Yes.
01:11:41And don't forget Colton.
01:11:43Don't let him off the hook, either.
01:11:45If Elizabeth says he's disabled...
01:11:48then he must be disabled.
01:11:50Yes.
01:11:51Take out all my funds.
01:11:53Increase the leverage.
01:11:55Lure Jaden into the game.
01:11:58I want to crush the Jiang family.
01:12:00Boss is going to end.
01:12:02The era of the five great families.
01:12:03Yes.
01:12:04Elizabeth.
01:12:05Your justice.
01:12:07I will help you get it back.
01:12:12Get lost!
01:12:16Dad.
01:12:17Dad.
01:12:18Let me come back, Dad.
01:12:20Dad.
01:12:23You wretched girl.
01:12:24Generations of Liu family honor.
01:12:26You've dragged it through the dirt.
01:12:27From now on,
01:12:28you're disowned by the Liu family.
01:12:47It's over.
01:12:48It's all over.
01:12:51This?
01:12:52How is this possible?
01:12:54In my previous life,
01:12:55every projects I invested in
01:12:56turned a massive profit.
01:12:57How could it be this time
01:12:58I've lost everything?
01:13:01From a young age,
01:13:03I knew your destiny
01:13:03was unfavorable.
01:13:04Our family
01:13:05would be ruined by you
01:13:07sooner or later.
01:13:08It's just not fair.
01:13:09I sought out
01:13:10Mrs. Sylvia
01:13:10to change your fate.
01:13:12The girl Elizabeth
01:13:13was born a lucky star.
01:13:14If you married her,
01:13:15our family's destiny
01:13:16would change.
01:13:17And so would yours.
01:13:19But you unfortunately
01:13:20fell for that, Lauren.
01:13:22A shameless girl.
01:13:24Now everything's ruined.
01:13:28All the destinies are real.
01:13:30In my previous life,
01:13:31the reason I was able
01:13:33to live peacefully
01:13:34and be invincible
01:13:35in the business world
01:13:36was all because of Elizabeth
01:13:38who changed my fate.
01:13:50Jaden.
01:13:51Don't worry.
01:13:53I will change your destiny
01:13:54and guarantee you
01:13:54a lifetime of wealth
01:13:56and a swift rise to success.
01:14:14In my previous life,
01:14:16Elizabeth changed my destiny.
01:14:18So it turns out
01:14:20that wasn't a dream.
01:14:23Elizabeth also reborn.
01:14:25She also has memories
01:14:26from her previous life.
01:14:27That's why in this life,
01:14:29she chose Luther.
01:14:33When I married Jaden
01:14:35in my previous life,
01:14:36I was very anxious,
01:14:38terrified he might be displeased.
01:14:40This lifetime,
01:14:40I can finally be a happy bride.
01:14:43Really?
01:14:43Are you really gonna marry
01:14:44someone else?
01:14:45In the previous life,
01:14:46when you were in your wedding dress,
01:14:47you asked me
01:14:48if you looked beautiful.
01:14:49I didn't even look at you.
01:14:50I couldn't even
01:14:50be bothered to humor you.
01:14:52Until now,
01:14:54I only realized
01:14:55what I had lost.
01:14:56Elizabeth.
01:14:58You are truly beautiful.
01:15:00Jaden!
01:15:03It's meaningless.
01:15:04I was just deceived by Lauren.
01:15:06The one I loved was you.
01:15:08Are you really going
01:15:08to give up on me?
01:15:09I beg you,
01:15:10give me another chance.
01:15:11I will leave Lauren
01:15:12and use the rest of my life
01:15:14to protect you,
01:15:14making it up to you.
01:15:19Jaden!
01:15:23I gave you a chance.
01:15:24I gave you a lifelong chance.
01:15:26Even after we got married.
01:15:28Even living day and night together.
01:15:30Even giving you my heart.
01:15:32You still didn't fall in love with me.
01:15:34And you didn't even have
01:15:35a shred of pity for me.
01:15:37You chose to fake your death.
01:15:39And live with Lauren.
01:15:42I was always looking for you.
01:15:45But you treated me
01:15:46like the plague.
01:15:48Just watching in silence.
01:15:49As they burned me to the ground.
01:15:53Jaden!
01:15:54If you love me,
01:15:55how could you be so cruel?
01:15:56If you love me,
01:15:58how could you not recognize me?
01:16:00Elizabeth?
01:16:02So you've also been reborn.
01:16:05In my previous life,
01:16:07you changed my destiny.
01:16:08Yet I treated you poorly.
01:16:10You searched for me
01:16:11your whole life.
01:16:12And even eventually,
01:16:13you lost your life.
01:16:15I truly
01:16:17can't find a way
01:16:18to make you forgive me.
01:16:27Elizabeth.
01:16:28In my previous life,
01:16:29I actually had feelings
01:16:30for you too.
01:16:31But the more I felt for you,
01:16:32the more scared I became.
01:16:34Because I saw in you,
01:16:35I always saw Lauren's shadow.
01:16:37That's why I didn't let you paint.
01:16:39Or
01:16:39play music.
01:16:41But only at the very end
01:16:42did I realize
01:16:42I had loved the wrong person
01:16:44all along.
01:16:45I originally thought that
01:16:46by marrying me
01:16:46and inheriting the family fortune,
01:16:48I could live a stable life.
01:16:51But Lauren told me
01:16:52she was pregnant
01:16:53with my child.
01:16:54I lost myself for a moment
01:16:56and chose to stay with her.
01:16:58one wrong step
01:16:59and I was lost.
01:17:01Elizabeth.
01:17:02Are you really over me?
01:17:07Jaden.
01:17:08I wish I had never loved you.
01:17:12Now,
01:17:13even one more look at you.
01:17:14Makes me feel disgusted.
01:17:17Elizabeth.
01:17:27Luthor.
01:17:29You're going to die soon.
01:17:30The dead can't compete
01:17:31with the living.
01:17:32After you die,
01:17:34I'll be very good to Elizabeth.
01:17:42There's one thing you got wrong.
01:17:44In my past life,
01:17:45since I could change your fate.
01:17:48In this life,
01:17:49I can also change Luther's fate.
01:17:52Luther and I will grow old together.
01:17:58Let's go.
01:18:13Congratulations!
01:18:14Congratulations.
01:18:15The bride is so beautiful.
01:18:17Indeed.
01:18:17They are a perfect match.
01:18:19Exactly.
01:18:22Congratulations.
01:18:26May the newlyweds
01:18:28perform the three bows.
01:18:30First bow to heaven.
01:18:35Second bow to elders.
01:18:41Ever since I was little,
01:18:42I've been wondering
01:18:43what Elizabeth would look like
01:18:44on her wedding day.
01:18:45She is truly beautiful today.
01:18:47Jaden!
01:18:47Is it really as you said
01:18:49in our past lives?
01:18:51Did we really kill Elizabeth?
01:18:55Bow to each other!
01:18:58Elizabeth.
01:18:59You were once my bride too.
01:19:01You were supposed to be mine.
01:19:03But I was blind to the truth.
01:19:06And missed you for two lifetimes.
01:19:11Let's go.
01:19:12We have now lost
01:19:13the right to be at her wedding.
01:19:23You rich!
01:19:25You stole everything from me!
01:19:30I'm going to kill you!
01:19:33Elizabeth?
01:19:38Jaden!
01:19:45Will he die?
01:19:48Hurry!
01:19:49Hurry!
01:19:51Hurry!
01:19:52Call security!
01:19:54Elizabeth!
01:19:56This lifetime,
01:19:58I finally
01:19:58protected you once.
01:20:12I've finally protected you once.
01:20:16Elizabeth!
01:20:17My heart hurts so much.
01:20:19Where I'll take you
01:20:20to the hospital.
01:20:22Let's go.
01:20:36Get the car over here.
01:20:38Take Mr. Luther
01:20:39to the hospital.
01:20:40No need.
01:20:42I'm fine.
01:20:43Didn't you already
01:20:44change my destiny?
01:20:44My heart disease
01:20:45has already been cured.
01:20:46But just now...
01:20:47I was just afraid.
01:20:49Elizabeth.
01:20:50I was afraid
01:20:51you'd go soft.
01:20:53Afraid you'd go back
01:20:54to Jaden.
01:20:56I can't be without you.
01:21:00What were you thinking?
01:21:02Do you have
01:21:02so little faith in me?
01:21:04I don't have
01:21:05faith in myself.
01:21:11Elizabeth.
01:21:13Promise me.
01:21:14No matter what happens.
01:21:16No matter what happens.
