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