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