00:00I took an arrow from my husband. It pierced deep, damaged my organs. I got shipped off to a country
00:06estate down south to heal. Four years. When I finally came home, another woman was living my life. My son
00:13relied on her. My daughter adored her. My mother-in-law praised her. And my husband? He whispered her name
00:19in my ear when we were in bed. I snapped. I raised help. So they got rid of me. Clean
00:25and easy. Like I was the problem all along.
00:27And their perfect little family lived happily ever after. As a ghost, I watched them for 20 years. Watching what
00:34came for them in the end. And then I woke up. Right on the road home. I was back.
00:41Don't take me home yet. Take me to the palace. I'm seeing the queen mother first.
00:47My name is Olivia Shaw. I'm the orphan daughter of a fallen war hero. My dad died in battle when
00:52I was nine. The queen mother took pity on me. She brought me into the palace and raised me like
00:57her own.
00:57I got married at 16. By 18, I had twins. A boy and a girl. My marriage to Ethan Barone
01:04was perfect. Or so I thought.
01:07When the twins turned six, I went on a royal hunt with Ethan. That day, the third prince pulled a
01:12bow on him. He smiled like it was a joke. But his eyes said something else.
01:16So I stepped in front of Ethan. The arrow hit me instead. It wrecked my insides. I was badly hurt.
01:22And yes, I used it.
01:24I cried in front of the king. I cried in front of the queen mother. I made sure they saw
01:28every bit of my pain. The third prince got hammered for it.
01:32My husband's family had backed the second prince for years. My injury lit a fire. The king turned cold on
01:38the third prince. My father's old men in the army also turned on him. The second prince's path to the
01:43throne got a whole lot cleaner.
01:45Olivia, that wound isn't healing anytime soon. The third prince hates us now. So let's finish this. Let's use this
01:54chance to bury him for good.
01:55I believed him. I thought we were one team. One name. One future. His win was my win. His shame
02:02was mine too. So for the bigger plan, I had to disappear. I had to stay far from London. Heal
02:08somewhere quiet.
02:11Three years. Maybe five. Long enough for the court to keep using my injury as a weapon. Long enough for
02:17the second prince's people to keep dragging the third prince through the mud.
02:20So I went. To the southern estate. And when the second prince was finally named heir. Ethan still didn't send
02:26for me. Not right away. That was when the dread hit. Something was wrong. And when I finally got home,
02:32I found out the truth. My place had already been filled.
02:35This time, after being reborn, I went to see the queen mother first. She was the only person in the
02:39world who had ever truly loved me.
02:41I'm better now.
02:43She took my hand and held it tight.
02:45That's all I wanted to hear. You're back. Come see me often. Don't leave me worrying like this. I won't.
02:53Before I left, I quietly slid the gold bracelet from my wrist. And tucked it deep into the cushions. Right
02:59into her favorite armchair. Her throne. It had belonged to my birth mother.
03:03The queen mother had put it on me with her own hands. She knew what it meant to me. She
03:07knew I never took it off.
03:09I got back to the Barone estate late in the afternoon. The sun was dropping. Golden light broke through the
03:14trees and scattered across the yard.
03:15My husband was there. My kids too. They were all gathered around my mother-in-law.
03:22Every single face looked surprised. And behind them stood a woman in a soft lilac dress. Pretty. Gentle looking. Sweet
03:29in that careful, polished way.
03:31Olivia? Why are you home today?
03:34As she hurried over and grabbed my hand.
03:36The house manager never sent word.
03:38It's my home. I don't need a formal announcement to walk into it.
03:43Right, mum?
03:45Ethan stepped up next. Asked about the trip. Asked if the road was rough.
03:49Then my twins came over. Ten years old now.
03:52They greeted me properly. All polished manners and distance.
03:56Olivia, you haven't met her yet.
03:58This is Lana.
04:00I hired her to teach Sophie Needlework.
04:04My name is Lana Brooks.
04:06It's a pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Barone.
04:08She was my mother-in-law's distant niece.
04:10A widow.
04:11She'd come to stay after her husband died.
04:14She was amazing with embroidery.
04:16Even better in the kitchen.
04:17And with those two things, she had won over my entire family.
04:20No need to be so formal. Thank you for looking after Sophie while I was away.
04:26Mum! You have no idea how great Aunt Lana is!
04:30I gently smoothed her hair back.
04:32You can tell me all about it later, sweetheart.
04:34In my last life, I noticed it right away.
04:37How every person in that house had a soft spot for Lana.
04:39How none of them were really mine anymore.
04:41And I let it show.
04:43My face turned cold. The whole house froze.
04:45By the first night, everything had already gone bad.
04:48Not this time.
04:49This time, I smiled.
04:51I joked with them.
04:52I sat through dinner like nothing was wrong.
04:54After dinner, Ethan was clearly on edge.
04:57Restless.
04:58Distracted.
04:59Like his mind was somewhere else.
05:00I knew why.
05:02By now, he had already slept with Lana.
05:04And tonight?
05:05He wanted her.
05:06Not me.
05:07So I made it easy for him.
05:09I'm wiped out from the trip I want to turn in early.
05:12Could I trouble you to sleep in the studio tonight, Duke?
05:15His face changed on the spot.
05:17He looked relieved.
05:18Thrilled, almost.
05:21Of course.
05:22Get some rest, Olivia.
05:24I slept well that night.
05:25The next morning, I picked my moment.
05:27And then I blew it all up.
05:31At breakfast, Lana was there again.
05:33Still standing by my mother-in-law.
05:35Still serving her like she ran the house.
05:37We had barely finished eating when a servant rushed in.
05:39And announced that someone from the palace had arrived.
05:42That was my moment.
05:43I let the bowl slip from my hand.
05:45It smashed hard against the floor.
05:47Everyone stared at me.
05:48My mother-in-law frowned.
05:50Ethan frowned too.
05:51Neither of them got it yet.
05:52I stood up and said it loudly.
05:54I'm the wife of this house.
05:56If my husband is taking a mistress, why was I the last to know?
05:59And if mom doesn't see me as her daughter-in-law anymore, then fine.
06:03Hand me divorce papers.
06:05I never should have come back.
06:07The whole room went dead.
06:08My son, Mason, spoke up like some tiny little judge.
06:12Mom, you smashed a bowl in front of dad and grandma.
06:15This is embarrassing.
06:17My daughter looked stunned.
06:19Mom, who's been filling your head with this stuff?
06:22You've got Lana all wrong.
06:24Olivia, you are way too spoiled.
06:26Is this really how the queen mother raised you?
06:29Only Ethan caught on fast.
06:30He walked over to me at once.
06:32Soft voice.
06:33Calm face.
06:35Olivia, maybe being home again feels strange.
06:37Maybe you didn't sleep well.
06:39It's just a bowl.
06:40That's nothing.
06:41Then he shot a look at the staff.
06:42At the same time, he tried signaling his mother and Lana.
06:45But they weren't quick enough.
06:47When did I say who the mistress was?
06:51That stopped them cold.
06:53Because that was the problem.
06:54Everybody in that house knew about Ethan and Lana.
06:57Everybody.
06:58Even my children.
06:59And right then, the queen mother seen your lady in waiting.
07:02Mrs. Gable walked in and saw the whole thing.
07:04I had people waiting at the front gate.
07:06The second the servant went to announce her, they let her right in.
07:09She stepped inside and looked around.
07:11What is going on here?
07:14My lady, were you wronged?
07:16Tears instantly sprang to my eyes.
07:18I didn't know someone else had taken over this household.
07:20Last night, my bedding was damp.
07:22I tried to have it changed, but I couldn't find anyone.
07:24I'm not used to being treated this way.
07:27So I barely slept.
07:30This morning, my hands gave out.
07:32And I dropped a dish.
07:33And now the Duke and Lady Barone think I'm throwing a fit.
07:36I swear I'm being framed here.
07:39Mrs. Gable looked at every face in that room.
07:41My mother-in-law wasn't stupid.
07:43Not really.
07:44She realized it then.
07:46It's all a misunderstanding.
07:48I took an arrow for my husband and left to recover.
07:52My mother-in-law wasn't in great health, so yes.
07:55Of course, I can understand bringing in help to run the house.
07:58But if she's been brought in as a concubine, why was I never told?
08:02Why keep it quiet?
08:03Why hide it from everyone?
08:05I took a shaky breath.
08:07I came home completely in the dark.
08:09If I hadn't seen the house keys on her,
08:11I would have thought she was just some guest.
08:13And once people call me jealous, who do they blame?
08:17They blame the Queen Mother for raising me wrong.
08:19Mrs. Gable, this is on me.
08:22I'm the fool here.
08:23Her face changed on the spot.
08:27Dark.
08:28Cold.
08:29Angry.
08:30And Ethan, my mother-in-law, and Lana all looked sick.
08:33Because now they were trapped.
08:34If Lana wasn't a mistress, why was she holding the house keys?
08:38Why was she acting like the lady of the house?
08:40And if she was a mistress, why had they kept the legal wife in the dark?
08:44I didn't keep screaming.
08:45I just cried.
08:46Then I went back to the palace with Mrs. Gable.
08:49Mrs. Gable had actually come that morning to return my gold bracelet.
08:52The Queen Mother knew I'd lost it.
08:54She'd worry.
08:55So she sent it over first thing.
08:57And that gave me exactly what I needed.
08:59A witness.
09:00Just my word alone would never have been enough.
09:02I learned that the hard way in my last life.
09:04Especially with Ethan.
09:05He was born to a sophist.
09:07He could twist the truth into a lie.
09:09If nobody from the Queen Mother's side spoke for me.
09:12Every ugly label would land on my head.
09:14Jealous wife.
09:16Unstable.
09:17Ungrateful.
09:18Before long, my name would be trash all over London.
09:20And after I died, people cheered.
09:23They praised Lana instead.
09:24Called her kind.
09:26Called her loyal.
09:27Said she and Ethan were perfect together.
09:29Now Ethan had to explain one thing.
09:31Why?
09:32After his lawful wife took an arrow for him and got sent away to heal.
09:35There was suddenly another lady of the house running his estate.
09:38I went with Mrs. Gable to the Queen Mother's palace.
09:40The second she saw me, she pulled me close.
09:43This time, she didn't say what she'd said before.
09:45She didn't remind me that I had chosen Ethan myself.
09:48She didn't say she'd never liked him much.
09:50She only said this.
09:51If you've been hurt, then stay here a few days.
09:54A daughter of the Shaw family does not get trampled by the baronies.
09:58In my last life, she told me to leave him.
10:00She told me to get a divorce.
10:02I refused.
10:04Divorce meant my husband didn't want me.
10:06My kids didn't want me.
10:07I couldn't swallow that.
10:09I had to fight.
10:10I had to beat them all.
10:11So I stayed, and it killed me.
10:14When I died, only one person truly cried for me.
10:16The Queen Mother.
10:18Back then, I never fully believed her love was real.
10:20She was ruthless.
10:22Sharp.
10:22The kind of old woman who could wipe out a whole bloodline and sleep just fine after.
10:26So how much could she really care about me?
10:28I thought it was politics.
10:29A show.
10:31A way to keep my father's old allies loyal.
10:33But after 20 years as a ghost, I watched her.
10:36And every time my name came up, she cried.
10:38People can get attached to a cat after enough years.
10:41Then what about me?
10:42I was beautiful.
10:44Obedient.
10:45Raised by her own hand.
10:46She really did love me.
10:50I asked for a divorce.
10:51And I wasn't leaving empty-handed.
10:53When I got married, endless chests filled with the finest treasures.
10:57Lustrous silks, exquisite jewelry, ornaments of gold and jade.
11:00Every last one bestowed by the Queen Mother herself.
11:03Try her best.
11:04Give me everything.
11:05I wanted all of it back.
11:07Every last piece.
11:08The Buranus shut that down fast.
11:10My mother-in-law went to the palace in tears.
11:12She said I had it all wrong.
11:15Lana is just a widowed relative with nowhere else to go.
11:18She is not a mistress.
11:20And Olivia, she wants a divorce.
11:21Just because she can't allow her husband another woman, she's also hurting her own reputation.
11:26In her mind, a good wife should help bring in more women.
11:29More women meant more children.
11:31More children meant a stronger family line.
11:33So no, according to her, that was not a valid reason for divorce.
11:36I lowered my eyes.
11:38Thought for a second.
11:40You're right.
11:41Ethan came to the palace himself and brought me home.
11:43The Buranus family sent Lana away.
11:45But after I came back, the whole house turned heavy.
11:48No one laughed.
11:49No one breathed easy.
11:51My mother-in-law even got so worked up that she fell sick.
11:53Then one day, my son, Mason, came to me and said,
11:57Mom, Grandma's sick.
11:58Go make her something to eat.
12:02I don't know how to cook.
12:03Aunt Lana always made good food.
12:05Grandma got better every time she ate what Lana made.
12:08Not just Grandma.
12:09When I got sick, Aunt Lena stayed by my bed.
12:12Where were you?
12:14I was out helping your father climb the ladder.
12:16I took an arrow for him.
12:18I let that injury become a weapon for the crown prince.
12:21Without the story of Lady Olivia was badly wounded and never fully healed,
12:24why would your grandfather's old military allies turn against the third prince?
12:27And why are they slowly moving towards the crown prince instead?
12:31My son froze.
12:32He was 10.
12:33He'd studied enough to understand a little about imperial power struggles.
12:36In my last life, I couldn't bear to tear the mask off his father in front of him.
12:40I never told him what kind of man Ethan really was.
12:43How hungry he was for power.
12:45How far he would go.
12:46So Mason blamed me instead.
12:48He said I was jealous.
12:50Small-minded.
12:51That I couldn't make room for another woman.
12:53What if Lana really had become Ethan's second wife?
12:56So what?
12:57In families like ours, men had women everywhere.
13:00Compared to other powerful men, Ethan already looked loyal.
13:03Already looked restrained.
13:04Why should he be expected to belong to me alone?
13:07But this life?
13:08I don't care anymore.
13:09How my son sees me means nothing now.
13:11So I told him the truth.
13:13All of it.
13:14His face went red.
13:15Don't use the royal family to make yourself sound important.
13:18I didn't even flinch.
13:19If you don't believe me, go to the estate.
13:22Ask the manager.
13:23Go ask what your father was doing while your grandmother was sick.
13:28Or if he was sneaking around with your precious Aunt Lana.
13:31He spun around and stormed out.
13:33My daughter, Sophie, took it even harder.
13:35She wasn't angry like her brother.
13:37She just looked hurt.
13:39Mom, I promised the Queen Mother I'd give her a lace embroidery piece.
13:43For her 50th birthday.
13:45I can't do it without Aunt Lana.
13:47Is she teaching you?
13:48Or is she doing it for you?
13:50She's teaching me.
13:51She's not the only person in the world who can do that.
13:54My daughter shook her head.
13:55But the one I'm making now is special.
13:58Only Aunt Lana knows this pattern.
14:00It's one of a kind.
14:01That's how I make the Queen Mother happy.
14:03I almost laughed.
14:04You're my daughter.
14:06You could hand the Queen Mother a scrap of old cloth.
14:09And she'd still be happy.
14:12If you weren't, you could stitch a miracle.
14:14And she still wouldn't care.
14:15The palace is full of master artists.
14:18You think she's lacking embroidery?
14:21Mom, you can't talk about Aunt Lana like that.
14:24When Lana talks herself up, you don't notice.
14:26But the second I tell the truth, suddenly I'm the cruel one?
14:28My son was foolish.
14:30My daughter was naive.
14:32Just like I used to be.
14:33So be it.
14:34Whatever bond one had with them, I leave it to fate now.
14:37I brushed the sleeve of my dress flat.
14:39Once the divorce is done, I'll leave instructions with the estate manager.
14:42He can look after the children here and there.
14:44I'll leave them enough money to live on.
14:47Enough to get them to adulthood.
14:48Enough to see them married.
14:50I'll do what a mother is supposed to do.
14:52They are still my children.
14:53But beyond that?
14:55I expect nothing.
14:56When I first left home, the twins were six.
14:59Old enough to know me.
15:00Old enough to remember.
15:02I had left trusted people behind to care for them.
15:04But by the time I came back, my people around them had been replaced.
15:07My mother-in-law did that.
15:09The people loyal to me had started clashing with the people loyal to her.
15:12And she was never going to let my side stay.
15:14So the people around my children changed.
15:17And then their hearts changed.
15:18But that's fine.
15:20I'm not clinging anymore.
15:21If this is all the fate I get with them, then that's all it is.
15:26I was waiting for the right reason to leave him.
15:28A reason no one could argue with.
15:30And I knew it was coming.
15:32Soon.
15:33Just like the last time.
15:34By the first day of September.
15:36I had been back at the Barone estate for three months.
15:38That morning, my mother-in-law got up early.
15:41And said she was going to the church to pray.
15:43She didn't ask me to come.
15:45Didn't ask the kids either.
15:46She only wanted Ethan to take her.
15:48The second they left, I called for my son and daughter.
15:51I'm taking you somewhere.
15:53My daughter was a little scared of me now.
15:55Her grandmother had been telling her.
15:57I was jealous and mad.
15:59And Sophie had believed it.
16:00Where are we going?
16:01Already sounding hostile.
16:03To pray.
16:03His face hardened.
16:05Grandma and dad just left for that?
16:06And now you suddenly want to go?
16:08What are you trying to do?
16:10I'm not going.
16:11You're full of trick.
16:12My daughter just stood there.
16:14Unsure.
16:14So I gave them a better reason.
16:16It's not just me going.
16:18Princess Anne will be there too.
16:20I thought I'd introduce you to her son.
16:22I heard you've been dying to learn spear work from him.
16:25Princess Anne was my older cousin.
16:26For years older than me.
16:27Her son was everything boys his age dreamed of being.
16:30Built like he was born for battle.
16:32He trained with top masters.
16:33His spear work was famous.
16:35People talked about it all the time.
16:37He'd even beaten the royal marshal champion once.
16:39Or maybe the champion had thrown him a little glory.
16:41Either way, my son had wanted to know him for a long time.
16:44But while I was gone, Princess Anne's household barely gave Mason the time of day.
16:48Then I turned to my daughter.
16:49Sophie, do you want to meet Princess Anne?
16:51She's one of the queen mother's favorites.
16:53That got her.
16:54My son hesitated.
16:56Then finally nodded.
16:57Once we met up with Princess Anne, we all climbed into her massive carriage.
17:01It was huge.
17:01The kind only true royalty could get away with.
17:04And my son got exactly what he wanted.
17:05He saw the young lord he admired.
17:07And just like that, he was grinning.
17:09Then the carriage turned.
17:10Not toward the church.
17:11Toward the country estate.
17:15Olivia, where exactly are we going?
17:17There's an estate nearby that belongs to my family.
17:19We're just stopping by.
17:21I need to deal with with something.
17:22What kind of something?
17:23I leaned against her shoulder and smiled like I was still 16.
17:26Come on, Anne.
17:27Be nice to me.
17:28Your kids are practically grown.
17:31And you still know how to play spoiled.
17:33My daughter watched us and looked a little jealous.
17:35My son just stared at me, like he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
17:38He probably thought I meant nothing in the royal family anymore.
17:41That's what Ethan had told him.
17:43Then we reached the estate.
17:44We all got out.
17:45And walked straight into a private courtyard.
17:48The door opened.
17:49And there she was.
17:50A beautiful woman with the slightest roundness at her belly.
17:53Pregnant.
17:54My mother-in-law was holding her hand.
17:56Talking to her softly.
17:57And Ethan was standing right there beside them.
17:59Supporting her like she was something precious.
18:01Everyone froze.
18:02Everyone except me.
18:04I stepped forward and made my face go blank with shock.
18:06Lady Baron?
18:07Ethan?
18:07What's this?
18:08Then I reached for Lana's belly.
18:10Ethan reacted on instinct.
18:12He shoved my hand away.
18:13So I let myself fall.
18:15Hard.
18:15I cried out as I hit the ground.
18:17Inside my sleeve, I already had a shard of broken glass hidden and ready.
18:20The second I went down, I pressed it into my palm.
18:23It sliced right through.
18:24Princess and Rush to help me up.
18:25Then she turned on Ethan with fire in her eyes.
18:28Are you out of your mind?
18:29You lay hands on your lawful wife in front of me?
18:32Do you have any respect left for the king?
18:34And the queen mother?
18:37I acted like I couldn't take one more second.
18:40I stumbled to my feet and ran for the door.
18:42Princess and came after me.
18:43Her son stepped in front of Ethan and blocked him when he tried to follow.
18:46Back in the carriage, blood was pouring down my hand.
18:49The glass was still buried in the flesh.
18:51I clenched my jaw.
18:52Grabbed it.
18:53And ripped it out.
18:54Blood burst out fast.
18:56Like a faucet turned full open.
18:58Princess and watched me and said,
18:59You owe me for this.
19:01I looked up at her.
19:02I'll never forget what you did for me.
19:04She nutted.
19:05Divorcing him means you lose.
19:06If I were you, I'd stay.
19:08I'd drag every one of them through hell.
19:09I'd see who breaks first.
19:11You're being too soft.
19:12I gave her a bitter smile.
19:14Honestly, that's what most women would say.
19:16If you betray me, I'll burn everything down.
19:19You drown, I drown.
19:20Nobody walks away clean.
19:21But I already died once.
19:23This time, I choose to live.
19:25The only person who ever truly cared about me.
19:27I don't want her sitting there crying.
19:29Not every time my name comes up.
19:31I don't want the queen mother blaming herself.
19:33Saying she should have stopped me from marrying that piece of trash.
19:36Saying my whole life was her one mistake.
19:38She was fearless her entire life.
19:40And I was the one crack in all of that.
19:42My death only did two things.
19:43It broke the people who loved me.
19:45And made my enemies very, very happy.
19:49In my past life, when I came back to the house, I blew up.
19:53The Burana sent Lana away then.
19:55I knew where she was.
19:56At the country estate.
19:57And I knew she was pregnant.
19:59She made sure I knew.
20:01She had people leak it to me on purpose.
20:03I also knew that on September 1st, Ethan used the same excuse as before.
20:06He said he was taking his mother to pray.
20:09Instead, the two of them went to see Lana.
20:11Last life, I followed them in secret.
20:13The second I saw Lana's belly, I lost it.
20:16I wanted to drag that filthy pair straight to the queen mother.
20:18Then my mother-in-law panicked.
20:20She faked a fall.
20:22There was a broken piece of glass on the ground.
20:24Her hand got cut.
20:25And Ethan said I did it.
20:27In this kingdom, if a wife harms her husband's mother, she can be charged.
20:31So Ethan and his mother went to the queen mother first.
20:34They said they were willing to keep it a secret.
20:36As long as I stopped making a scene.
20:38The queen mother told me again to divorce him.
20:40I still said no.
20:41I wanted to fight.
20:43Back then, I was pure rage.
20:45I wanted to sink my teeth into them.
20:47Just to kill them.
20:48But rage makes people stupid, and stupid people lose.
20:51So this time, I changed the board.
20:53I asked princess and to help me set the trap.
20:55I made sure my children saw the truth with their own eyes.
20:58And yes.
20:59I borrowed my mother-in-law's old trick.
21:01Now the whole city was saying one thing.
21:03Beat his lawful wife over a mistress.
21:06He crippled her hand.
21:09For days, the censor's office was buried in complaints against Ethan.
21:13In the previous life, Lana had that baby in secret.
21:16Outside the family.
21:17Later, they brought the child back under some fake title.
21:20An adopted son.
21:21Lana was never made a concubine.
21:23Never named a mistress.
21:25Not on paper.
21:26And after I died, Ethan married her.
21:28That was the real plan all along.
21:30Because by law, a concubine can't be raised to a wife.
21:33A mistress can't become the legal wife either.
21:35If he had tried that openly, he could have gone to prison.
21:38So no, they didn't protect Lana's status for my sake.
21:41They protected it for hers.
21:43I should have understood that from the start.
21:45People like that are not worth fighting to the death over.
21:47The censors hammered Ethan for two months.
21:49Even the king got sick of it.
21:51So he asked what I wanted.
21:53By then, I had already moved out of the Barone estate.
21:55I was living back at my old family residence.
21:58The Shaw estate.
21:59It had been kept up.
22:00A few elderly staff still guarded it.
22:03People who remembered me from before I was handed off as a bride.
22:05Ethan came to see me there.
22:07Once, he had been the kind of man girls fell for on sight.
22:10Tall.
22:11Polished.
22:12Beautiful in that cold, clean way.
22:14I fell for him fast.
22:15Now he looked stripped down.
22:17Gaunt.
22:18His cheekbones were sharp enough to cut.
22:22Olivia, can you stop doing this?
22:24I just looked at him.
22:26I'll make Lana a concubine.
22:27I'll hand her slave contract over to you.
22:29Is that enough?
22:30We're a family.
22:32That's your apology?
22:33Whether she becomes your concubine or gives birth to your bastard.
22:37Either way, it has nothing to do with me now.
22:40Then what do you want?
22:41A divorce.
22:41And I take every piece of property that came with me.
22:44You're not thinking about the children.
22:46Mason and Sophie are ten now.
22:48They'll be entering the marriage market soon.
22:50If you keep acting like this, who's going to marry into this family?
22:53Ethan, you really can talk.
22:55You slept with another woman.
22:56You hurt me.
22:57When you got into Lana's bed, did you think about their future then?
23:02Did I shove you onto her?
23:03That's not the same.
23:05Men take more than one woman.
23:06That's how the world works.
23:07I never said you couldn't.
23:09You're the head of that house, sure.
23:11But taking in a concubine doesn't only need your approval.
23:13It also needs mine.
23:16Did you ask me first?
23:17What exactly are you trying to do?
23:19He was angry now.
23:20Done pretending.
23:21My mother is sick because of this.
23:23I looked him dead in the eye.
23:24She raised a useless son.
23:26Of course she's sick.
23:27You do not get to talk about my mother like that!
23:32There you go again.
23:33Using your mother as a shield.
23:35When did I disrespect her?
23:37I was talking about you, Ethan.
23:39That was the end of that.
23:40He left angry.
23:42I let him.
23:43After that, the whole Burana started showing up one by one.
23:46My mother-in-law came first.
23:48She lasted maybe three sentences.
23:50Why she handed the household keys to Lana.
23:52Why she helped Lana buy my children's loyalty.
23:55And suddenly she had nothing left to say.
23:57Then the children came.
23:58I put on my mother voice and gave them one warning.
24:01If you won't stand with me, then don't call yourselves good children.
24:05If that's how you want it, maybe we should cut ties now.
24:08The last one to come was Lana.
24:09Her belly was flat.
24:11She looked pale.
24:12Fragile.
24:13Like grief itself.
24:14The second she saw me, she dropped into tears.
24:17My lady!
24:18I lost the baby!
24:20It's all my fault!
24:21I forgot my place!
24:23Please forgive the Duke!
24:25I'll go back to my hometown!
24:27I'll never show my face in front of you again!
24:31I looked at Lana in silence.
24:33She had that soft, harmless face.
24:35Round cheeks.
24:36Big doe eyes.
24:37The kind of face that made people drop their guard.
24:40But that was the trick.
24:41She knew exactly how to get inside people's heads.
24:43She was tough.
24:45Cold where it counted.
24:46And she never lost sight of what she wanted.
24:48She wanted one thing.
24:50To be the lady of the Buron estate.
24:52In my last life, I only found out the truth much later.
24:54She and Ethan had been in love as teenagers.
24:57But Ethan's mother thought Lana's family had fallen too far.
25:00No money.
25:01No status.
25:02No use.
25:03So she forced Lana's cousin to marry her off far away.
25:06That left a wound in Ethan.
25:07A deep one.
25:08It wasn't that he didn't like me.
25:10I was raised by the Queen Mother herself.
25:12Plenty of sons from powerful families wanted me.
25:15I was gentle.
25:16Sheltered.
25:17Easy to love on the surface.
25:19And yes, I was beautiful.
25:21What man wouldn't want me?
25:22Ethan wanted me too.
25:23In his own way.
25:25He loved me while still missing Lana.
25:27He played the devoted husband in one hand.
25:29Kept mourning his lost love with the other.
25:31And because of Lana, he even started resenting his own mother.
25:35Back then, the two of them were at each other's throats.
25:37The joke was on me.
25:38I had just married into that family.
25:40And I actually tried to fix their relationship.
25:43I thought I was helping.
25:44Lana was widowed first.
25:46That came before my injury.
25:47The second Ethan heard that her husband was dead, he was thrilled.
25:51He begged his mother to find a way to bring Lana back to the city.
25:54And just like that, he got two wins with one move.
25:57He told me to head south and recover after I got shot.
26:00Said the warmer air would help my wound heal.
26:02The second I left, his mother made her move to win back her son's heart.
26:05She used my daughter as the excuse.
26:07Said she was hiring a needlework tutor for Sophie.
26:10That was how she brought Lana into the house.
26:12Lana had lived a rough life with her late husband's family.
26:14She had already learned what it felt like.
26:17Life with no money, no power, no one backing you up.
26:20So she came back with one goal.
26:22Not to be some hidden woman.
26:23Not to be a mistress tucked out of sight.
26:25She wanted to marry Ethan for real.
26:27Right now, though, she had to play the long game.
26:30That meant getting rid of this baby.
26:32Even if it wrecked her body.
26:33Even if it meant she might never have another child again.
26:36She was still willing to do it.
26:38That was how ruthless she was.
26:39If I had even half that kind of nerve, I never would have let them kill me.
26:43Lana!
26:47I will never forgive Ethan.
26:49My lady.
26:51This is all my fault.
26:53I deserve whatever you do to me.
26:55I'll kneel.
26:56I'll beg.
26:56I'll knock my head on the floor if I have to.
26:59You could crack your skull open right here.
27:01And no one in this house would feel sorry for you.
27:03This is my family home.
27:05Everyone here answers to me.
27:07You could die on this floor and it still wouldn't buy you pity.
27:10Her lips trembled.
27:12Then she bit down on them.
27:13My lady.
27:15Please.
27:16Tell me what you want.
27:19If there's any way to solve, I'll do it.
27:21Can you turn back time?
27:25My lady.
27:26If time couldn't be reversed.
27:28Her apologies meant nothing.
27:29I already took the wrong road once.
27:31All I wanted now was to get back to the right one.
27:34You lost the baby.
27:35Do you really think Ethan won't blame me for that?
27:38If I go back now, that whole family will see me as the enemy.
27:42And you want me to go back into a house full of people who hate me?
27:45To live under their roof?
27:46To sleep among enemies?
27:49So one day if I end up dead, no one even asks why?
27:52Do I look that stupid to you?
27:54She flinched.
27:56This little act of yours?
27:58It's not for me.
27:59You're stepping back now so Ethan, his mother, will love you more.
28:02You want them to pity you.
28:04You want them to protect you.
28:06That's all this is.
28:07So all that pain, you wasted.
28:11I'm not changing my mind.
28:13I am divorcing him.
28:15Killing your own child just to clear the board.
28:17Look at my two kids.
28:18Foolish and cruel.
28:19But even then, I never thought of throwing them away.
28:22That hit her.
28:23Hard.
28:23Her hands curled into fists so tight her knuckles went white.
28:26I kept going.
28:27This little sob story has gone as far as she's going to go with me.
28:30Take the tears back to Ethan and his mother.
28:32Go sell your tragedy to them still dumb enough to buy it.
28:36Don't waste another minute here.
28:38Then I called in two older housemates.
28:40I told them to take her back to the Barone estate carefully.
28:43No bumps.
28:44No bruises.
28:46No accidents.
28:47I didn't want anyone saying I touched her.
28:49At the same time, I sent someone to buy off the storyteller at the tavern.
28:53Where gossip spread faster than wildfire.
28:55I had them tell the whole thing under fake names.
28:58The great love story between Ethan Barone and Lana.
29:02The rich family.
29:03The old flame.
29:04The secret child.
29:05The betrayed wife.
29:06And that wife?
29:08That was me.
29:09The beautiful, loyal woman who took an arrow for her husband.
29:12The one who almost died for him.
29:14The one who spent four years healing while he was busy rebuilding his romance with another
29:17woman.
29:18They also talked about my father.
29:19A war hero.
29:21A good man.
29:22The kind that this country still respected.
29:24They talked about my looks.
29:26My innocence.
29:27My massive inheritance.
29:28And they shredded Ethan.
29:30People everywhere called him heartless.
29:32A traitor.
29:33A man who used love like a knife.
29:35The Barone name rotted in public for months.
29:37By the end of it, Ethan broke.
29:39He gave me the divorce.
29:40And he returned every property that came with me.
29:43The kids are not going with you.
29:44I smiled.
29:45Keep them.
29:46Take both of them.
29:46Once the love is gone, the weight is gone too.
29:48I don't waste my heart on people who never loved me back.
29:51This time, I'm choosing one thing.
29:53I'm staying alive.
29:55I'm staying alive.
29:55I'm staying alive.
29:56I'm staying alive.
