Short filmTranscript
00:00My name is Demeter, and I gave my first night to my boyfriend.
00:03I lost my virginity before marriage, and suffered from my in-law's disdain.
00:08My husband Paris went to Athens to be an archon.
00:11I've had a lifetime of hardship, living apart with my husband.
00:15When I turned 60, I found a name Paris carved on the family stone tablet.
00:19It showed a thriving family, but I couldn't find my name or our children's.
00:23He had two wives all along.
00:25The one in the city was the real wife.
00:27My children and I were just mistresses and bastards.
00:30They say a dying person's words are kind, but I was filled with rage.
00:34I lay on the bed with my eyes closed, unable to move a finger.
00:37I could hear my children crying softly.
00:39Mom, hold on a little longer.
00:40Father will be back soon.
00:42Don't you want to say your last words to him?
00:44I struggled to open my eyes, and stared straight out the window.
00:52I do want to.
00:54I want to ask Paris myself.
00:58How dare he treat me like this?
01:01Memories before I fainted came back.
01:03The solemn ancestral hall.
01:05The yellowed family stone tablet.
01:07Names I didn't know.
01:08I was married to Paris for 40 years.
01:10He was ambitious.
01:11He went to Athens to be an archon, serving the people.
01:14But Paris' mother, the princess of Troy, was moody and picky.
01:19She insisted on staying at the estate.
01:21She was sick and had chased away dozens of maids.
01:24Paris was worried.
01:26He begged me to care for her.
01:27I had to stay.
01:28To care for his parents.
01:30Raise the children.
01:31And then help with the grandkids.
01:33I stayed for 40 years.
01:35I am 60 years old now.
01:36I saw Paris' father pass away.
01:38And cared for his mother.
01:40At my age, being mistreated by my mother-in-law was rare.
01:44Thankfully, six months ago, my mother-in-law finally passed.
01:47I finally had some peace.
01:48I thought I could leave the estate and go to the city to be with Paris.
01:51But while cleaning the hall, I found the family stone tablet next to Paris' name.
01:56The spot for his wife had another name.
01:57A woman I didn't know.
01:59My name wasn't there.
02:00Neither were my son's or daughter's names.
02:02Not my grandkids' names.
02:03When I left the hall, I couldn't handle it.
02:05I suddenly passed out.
02:06When I woke up, I was already dying.
02:08I wasn't scared of death.
02:09I just felt regret.
02:10I felt my body grow light.
02:12A sharp cry from my daughter.
02:13Mother!
02:15Ended my ridiculous life.
02:16I floated in the air.
02:17My anger and resentment grew.
02:19I looked toward the city.
02:20A sudden urge rose in me.
02:21Since Paris wouldn't come, I want to see for myself.
02:24Not knowing how long.
02:25When I reached Paris' home in Athens, I saw him holding my death notice.
02:28A beautiful old woman walked to him.
02:30Go back and see her.
02:32After all, you were married.
02:34See her off.
02:35You can still make it to the funeral.
02:38You are my real wife on the tablet.
02:40How could she be my wife?
02:42She had it hard.
02:43She served your parents for 40 years.
02:46And gave you children.
02:47She worked her whole life without status.
02:50Died a mistress.
02:52How pitiful.
02:53I know what I'm doing.
02:54Everyone has their fate.
02:56It was hers.
02:57The estate is far.
03:00You haven't been well.
03:02I can't leave you.
03:04The old woman smiled sweetly and didn't urge him anymore.
03:07I watched them cling to each other.
03:08My ears were ringing.
03:09Paris really had another wife in the city.
03:11Before I could recover, couples came with young people to pay respects.
03:14I floated nearby, watching their happy family.
03:17It was a shock.
03:18My soul trembled.
03:19It was all true.
03:20These were his wife and kids.
03:21What about me?
03:21What were my children and I?
03:23Hidden mistresses and bastards.
03:24I was abused for 40 years.
03:26Cared for her till the end.
03:27I lived a lie Paris made.
03:29Anger and sadness filled me.
03:31Resentment surged.
03:32I lost my mind.
03:33Paris lied to me my whole life.
03:34My eyes turned red.
03:36Rage consumed me.
03:37Why did I work so hard?
03:38Why don't good people get good things?
03:40My soul roared.
03:42I screamed and charged at them.
03:46A chain wrapped around me.
03:48Dead soul, go to the underworld.
03:50Trying to hurt the living?
03:51You want to be destroyed?
03:52You will be judged.
03:54I can't accept this.
03:56I was lied to.
03:58This isn't fair.
04:00Thanatos glared at me.
04:03The god sighed and took me to a judge.
04:06He saw my bloody tears and my raging spirit.
04:09He closed his eyes.
04:11I see your life.
04:14I'll give you another chance.
04:16Golden rain fell in the dark underworld.
04:19It fell on me.
04:19I faded away in the light.
04:22I woke up, holding someone.
04:24Feeling close.
04:26The room was a mess with a heavy scent in the air.
04:29I touched the smooth skin and woke up fully.
04:32Wine.
04:33Perfume.
04:34Bodies intertwined.
04:36The one sleeping beside me was Paris.
04:38I held my breath.
04:39It felt absurd.
04:40The anger from my past life remained.
04:42Scenes flashed in my mind.
04:44I knew it wasn't a dream.
04:45I had lived a life and died.
04:46Pain filled my heart.
04:47I covered my eyes, crying silently.
04:49If I get a second chance, why not before this happened?
04:52Why after I lost my virginity to Paris?
04:54My past life felt like a dark cloud.
04:56Emotions overwhelmed me.
04:57I beat my chest, feeling deep sorrow, because of that night.
05:00I lost my virginity before marriage.
05:02I could never hold my head high in that house.
05:04A woman without virtue.
05:06She should be stoned.
05:08If Paris didn't insist, I'd never let you in.
05:14Mother agreed to let me marry you.
05:17But the ceremony will be simple.
05:20I don't care.
05:25As long as you love me.
05:26But all my efforts didn't earn her respect.
05:29I smiled coldly.
05:30In my past life, I only felt shy after that night.
05:33But now it seems strange that I lost control with Paris.
05:37Now I know.
05:38Paris gave me that drug.
05:39I got dressed and went back to my room.
05:41My room was in the farthest corner.
05:43It was so quiet and cold.
05:45I felt a deep sadness.
05:47Once a rich doctor's daughter.
05:49Now I was treated like this.
05:52Years ago, my father was accused of stealing.
05:55Executed by being thrown off a cliff.
05:58When news came, my mother killed herself.
06:00I was left alone.
06:02The princess of Troy had a deal with my family.
06:05So my mom sent me here.
06:07In my past life, I thought I was lucky.
06:10To have a good husband.
06:11And a kind mother-in-law.
06:12Now I see the cracks.
06:14An orphan with a fortune.
06:17They didn't want me.
06:18They wanted my money.
06:20Thinking of my past life.
06:22I felt so pathetic.
06:23I couldn't stop crying.
06:24Why was that my fate?
06:25I have a second chance.
06:26I will change it.
06:28Why was that my fate?
06:29I have a second chance.
06:30I will change it.
06:31I took a deep breath.
06:32And cleaned myself.
06:34They must not know.
06:36What happened between us.
06:38If they knew.
06:39They'd have power over me.
06:40I'd be forced to marry.
06:41Or my reputation ruined.
06:44But.
06:45I felt sad.
06:47And touched my belly.
06:49In my past life.
06:50I got pregnant here.
06:52Thinking of my kids.
06:54My heart ached.
06:55They were good.
06:55My mother-in-law wouldn't let me go.
06:57But they stayed with me.
06:58They were always respectful.
07:00But even they were called bastards.
07:02Remembering what I saw.
07:03I wiped my tears.
07:05And made up my mind.
07:06They are my children.
07:07No ties to Troy.
07:08Day was breaking.
07:10Stars still in the sky.
07:12I took my mother's fortune.
07:14And left the estate.
07:15I registered it all with the court.
07:17It was evening when I finished.
07:19Before I reached the gate.
07:20I saw a maid waiting.
07:21Miss Demister.
07:23You're back.
07:25Prince Parse and his mother waited all day.
07:28Leaving without a word.
07:30It's so rude.
07:31I paused at her words.
07:32A maid telling me about manners.
07:34I was so blind before.
07:36To not see my place.
07:37I walked through the halls.
07:39To the garden that trapped me before.
07:40Paris came to me.
07:41Demeter, where were you?
07:42My parents waited all day.
07:45I stood straight.
07:47Something wrong?
07:48His father scowled.
07:49Where are your manners?
07:50Bow to your elders.
07:52So rude.
07:53No wonder you're shameful.
07:56Your parents are gone.
07:57No one taught you.
07:59But you shame us too.
08:01What shame?
08:02I looked at them calmly.
08:03What did I do?
08:05I live here.
08:06But I pay for everything.
08:08The gifts I give cover any rent.
08:15They insult me.
08:19Why do you?
08:22I stared at the marks.
08:25Paris, we're to marry.
08:27You were with someone.
08:28Demoister, no.
08:29It was you last night.
08:33That's a lie.
08:35I went to bed early.
08:37How could it be me?
08:38Don't ruin my name.
08:40Paris stumbled.
08:41No.
08:43No.
08:45It can't be.
08:49You're a liar and a coward.
08:51I took out a necklace.
08:53Paris, you know the deal.
08:54I'll let you go.
08:56Everyone's here.
08:58Let's make this clear.
09:00Paris broke his promise.
09:01So the deal is off.
09:03From now on, we are nothing.
09:05I spoke with anger.
09:07What?
09:07Thinking of what was to come.
09:09I wasn't lying.
09:10Demitra, what are you saying?
09:11You deny last night?
09:12Paris was shocked.
09:13And now you want to break up?
09:14He couldn't believe it.
09:16I told you.
09:17I wasn't with you.
09:19Paris, you're a liar.
09:21My son is a liar.
09:22We accept you.
09:24And you blame us.
09:25I was so angry.
09:27Why do you say that?
09:28You're killing me.
09:30You're so sure.
09:31I stepped closer.
09:34Did you do this to me?
09:36You're so cruel.
09:38I'll fight for myself.
09:50What will you do?
09:52What will you do?
09:54She stepped back.
09:55Will you hit me?
09:56I got closer.
09:58Hit you?
10:00I'll take you to court.
10:01You'll go to jail.
10:03No!
10:03No!
10:04No court!
10:06Yes.
10:07Court meant jail for all.
10:08I have nothing to lose.
10:10And she looked guilty.
10:10They couldn't handle an investigation.
10:12They cared about their image.
10:14Paris wanted a clean record.
10:15I bet they'd avoid court.
10:17Fine.
10:18No court.
10:19We break up.
10:21I looked at them calmly.
10:22I'm done.
10:24We're over.
10:26Demestra, is this needed?
10:27Paris looked sad.
10:28I made a mistake.
10:30It was an accident.
10:31I promise it won't happen again.
10:33I'll only love you.
10:34I looked at him, feeling nothing but contempt.
10:37He'd forget me once he was in the city, thinking of my past life.
10:40I sneered at him.
10:41I don't trust you.
10:42You make me sick.
10:44You look down on my son?
10:46Who are you?
10:47A criminal's daughter.
10:49You're not good enough.
10:51Let me tell you.
10:53Paris will marry a noble.
10:56You're not even worthy as a mistress.
10:58You're only fit to be a mistress.
11:01You're not even worthy as a mistress.
11:03You're only fit to be a mistress.
11:05Night had fallen.
11:07I turned to Paris.
11:08Paris, this is why.
11:10Your family are monsters.
11:15I took the necklace and threw it down.
11:18It broke.
11:18Paris was shocked.
11:20His eyes read.
11:21Demaita.
11:22Tears in my eyes.
11:24You're just as bad.
11:25I slapped him hard.
11:27The cruelest thing is a liar.
11:30How could he enjoy my care and lie to me so easily?
11:34The cruelest thing is a liar.
11:36How could he enjoy my care and lie to me so easily?
11:39Stop pretending.
11:40And we break up.
11:42I want my dowry back.
11:43It's filed with the court.
11:45Everything's recorded.
11:46Princess of Troy.
11:47Prepare it for tomorrow.
11:48That's a lie.
11:50We both know the cost.
11:52Her voice was sharp.
11:53You have no money.
11:55What of about three years of rent?
11:56I didn't back down.
11:59I know what my mother gave me.
12:01I had thought it over.
12:03I figured them out.
12:04They thought I was beneath him.
12:05Not good for his future.
12:06But they wanted my money.
12:07Yes, the court took some.
12:09But I still had plenty.
12:10My mother left me a lot.
12:11They wanted the money.
12:12Without my name, they made a plan.
12:14So I'd accept it.
12:15A small wedding.
12:15Take my money.
12:16But not put my name on the tablet.
12:18I paid for their life.
12:19Gave them comfort.
12:20While Paris was clean.
12:22Marrying a noble in the city.
12:23What a plan.
12:24I'm not a child anymore.
12:28I'm not stupid.
12:29I laughed.
12:30And walked out.
12:32Early next day, I checked my things.
12:34Damani, where will you go?
12:37How will you live?
12:40I'll live better without you.
12:42Paris, you thought I had nowhere to go.
12:45You thought I'd stay.
12:47But I have hands.
12:48And money.
12:50I can live anywhere.
12:53I laughed.
12:54I finished checking.
12:55Put the list away.
12:57I'll open a shop.
12:59Carry on my father's work.
13:07Impossible.
13:08Paris was shocked.
13:09You don't know medicine.
13:11How can you...
13:12I can.
13:13I cut him off.
13:14Who says I don't?
13:15It's why his parents live so long.
13:17I gave them my heart.
13:18This time.
13:18I won't waste my money on them.
13:20Let's see how long they live.
13:22I'll open it in the city.
13:23I packed my bags.
13:24I'll clear my father's name.
13:26And laughed.
13:27Paris.
13:27Let's see.
13:28What my life will be.
13:30Away from this place.
13:32Life in the city is hard.
13:33But it's wide and free.
13:37I sold what I could.
13:38Turned it into gold.
13:40I trust no one but myself.
13:42Money is safer in my hands.
13:44I prepared.
13:46And went to the city.
13:47I never made it here before.
13:48They said I didn't belong.
13:50That it was my fate.
13:51But I came myself.
13:52I rode into the city.
13:54I need to fix a house.
13:56Buy herbs.
13:57So much to do.
13:58I counted in my head.
14:00Clearing my father's name is hardest.
14:03But I have hope.
14:04Clearing my father's name is hardest.
14:07But I have hope.
14:08I know he was innocent.
14:10Before Prince Hephaestus died.
14:12He reopened old cases.
14:14My father's was one.
14:16The old king wanted eternal life.
14:18He bought rare herbs.
14:20It was a secret.
14:21But he spent too much.
14:23He owed money.
14:24Corrupt officials took advantage.
14:26They killed merchants.
14:27Took their wealth.
14:28When they cleared his name.
14:29I was middle aged.
14:31Caring for the estate.
14:32Old and young.
14:33I couldn't help my family.
14:35My in-laws wouldn't let me.
14:36A married woman.
14:38Working?
14:38You'd shame your family.
14:42One line stopped me.
14:43I smiled bitterly.
14:44Calling myself a fool.
14:45I looked down again.
14:46Then heard a shout.
14:47Horses and people.
14:48Mr. Miter.
14:50Someone's here.
14:51I rushed out.
14:52It was dark.
14:52I was going to a village.
14:54Then I found someone in the grass.
14:55I looked closer.
14:56It was Prince Hephaestus.
14:57A powerful man in my past life.
15:00Now bloody and pale.
15:01I had him put in the carriage.
15:02I'm a healer.
15:03And he helped my father.
15:04He cleared our name.
15:05He was my benefactor.
15:06I'd need him again.
15:07How could I ignore him?
15:08I reached for his clothes.
15:09He woke up fast.
15:11Who sent you?
15:11I was scared and tore his shirt.
15:15The door opened.
15:16We both turned.
15:18Found a place to stay.
15:20You two are close.
15:23Yes.
15:24We're married.
15:25My husband's hurt.
15:27Can we get hot water?
15:28I'll treat him.
15:29Hephaestus looked mad.
15:31He tried to speak, but I pressed a spot.
15:33He fell, staring at me in shock before he passed out.
15:36Thank you saving me.
15:37He woke up a day later.
15:38The carriage moved toward the city.
15:40He looked at me.
15:41I saw him watching me and smiled inside.
15:43Don't worry about rumors.
15:45It was an emergency.
15:47Forgive me.
15:48He looked sharp.
15:50How do you know me?
15:51I pointed to his ring.
15:53He felt awkward.
15:55Sorry.
15:57It's strange.
15:58He thought for a bit.
16:00Why did you save me?
16:02No one saved me before.
16:04Of course not.
16:05I wasn't here.
16:07I answered without thinking.
16:08We looked at each other.
16:10One sitting.
16:11One lying down.
16:13Our eyes grew wide.
16:15We were both reborn.
16:17In my past life, I was found the next day.
16:20I was so stupid.
16:22Lied to my whole life.
16:25Died in that place.
16:26No point hiding it.
16:27I told him everything.
16:27You're a just man.
16:29You cleared my father's name.
16:31And now I saved you.
16:32He looked at me.
16:33You don't want me to be your baby's father, do you?
16:36What?
16:37I stared at him.
16:37Why would he think that?
16:38I know my place.
16:39I was embarrassed.
16:40I'd never claim that.
16:41That's crazy.
16:42Even if I needed a father, I wouldn't pick a prince.
16:44That's royal blood.
16:45I want you to clear his name.
16:47I knelt.
16:47I want my family back.
16:49His name is important.
16:51He was quiet.
16:52Then nodded.
16:53It's not the best time.
16:55But you saved me.
16:57I'll do it.
16:58I smiled and thanked him.
17:00But...
17:01He glanced at me.
17:02Twins, you said.
17:03You'll show soon.
17:05My heart sank.
17:06I shook my head.
17:07One step at a time.
17:11My injury needs care.
17:14I'll need your help.
17:16He looked relaxed.
17:17If you ask.
17:20I can help you.
17:21Help me?
17:22How could he help?
17:23I was confused, but didn't ask.
17:25We reached the city.
17:26My father's shop was okay.
17:28I cleaned it and moved in.
17:30He kept his word.
17:31He gathered proof to clear my father.
17:33But from his words, I saw the danger.
17:36The old king made mistakes.
17:38Many were wronged.
17:40These cases hurt his name.
17:42His own father.
