00:00:00My name is Alice Wright. 100 years ago, I disappeared.
00:00:06Mom!
00:00:07Today, I wake up. I stand before the iron gates of the Wright family estate.
00:00:11The owner of this estate is my son, but he is about to die.
00:00:16The Wright estate is not receiving visitors at this time. I must ask you to leave at once.
00:00:22I am the person Damien Wright has been waiting for. Let me in. I can save him.
00:00:28You? Mr. Wright has been waiting for his mother, Alice Wright.
00:00:32He does not believe me. He calls two security guards to throw me out.
00:00:36And you dare stand here, a young woman barely out of her teens, telling such an absurd lie?
00:00:42Get lost!
00:00:54I kick the iron gate. Those thick, sturdy iron bars snap me off.
00:01:00Wait!
00:01:02What are you trying to do? Defying the Wright family is asking for death!
00:01:08I have already made my intentions clear.
00:01:11I must see Damien Wright.
00:01:14No one else can save him.
00:01:16They want to stop me, but after seeing the broken bars, they let me walk into the estate.
00:01:21In the living room, the Wright family gathers around Damien's hospital bed.
00:01:25Father is not lucid. Maybe we find someone to impersonate Grandmother?
00:01:29But Grandmother has been gone for a hundred years. None of us has ever seen her. Not even a single
00:01:35photograph remains.
00:01:36Michael is my eldest grandson. He is already 57. Bruce and Josie are wrinkled too. Time has been so cruel
00:01:43to them.
00:01:48Did we not say no visitors? Who let her in?
00:01:51They do not recognize me, but from their conversation, I know that I am their grandmother.
00:01:58Who are you? Leave immediately. Do not disturb my father.
00:02:04You are Damien's son, aren't you? I am his mother.
00:02:12You should call me Grandmother. Let me see him.
00:02:16Perhaps I can still save him.
00:02:18What? You are my father's mother? My grand-mother?
00:02:23Father said Grandmother disappeared at 27. Even if she were alive, she would be over 120.
00:02:30She is obviously a fraud.
00:02:33Exactly. She looks even younger than us. There's no way she could be our grandmother.
00:02:40I understand their doubt, but if they delay any longer, Damien will truly be beyond saving.
00:02:46His heart rate just spiked.
00:02:49He is responding to external stimulation.
00:02:52I walk quickly upstairs. Damien's door is half open. I see him.
00:03:07The little boy who once had thick black hair now lies there, about to die.
00:03:13Are you Damien's mistress?
00:03:16Stay away from my husband, you shameless woman!
00:03:19She is Ruby, Dami's wife. She thinks I am his mistress.
00:03:22She screams, lunges at me, shoves me aside.
00:03:26Let me tell you, as long as I am here, you will not get one step closer to him.
00:03:32But her voice is what made Mr. Wright's heart rate spike just now.
00:03:36That talk about seeing his mother one last time is all lies.
00:03:40On his deathbed, he is thinking about his mistress.
00:03:47Miss, whoever you are, please leave, now.
00:03:51If you are here for his fortune, I will have my lawyer contact you.
00:03:54Michael thinks I will back down.
00:03:56But I am Damien's mother.
00:03:58I will not back down.
00:04:00Only I can save him now.
00:04:02Get out of my way, now.
00:04:04Or face the consequences.
00:04:06They try to stop me again.
00:04:08I've already said, you can't come in.
00:04:11But suddenly, Damien's weak voice rings out.
00:04:14Come on.
00:04:18Everyone looks at me in shock.
00:04:23Let her in.
00:04:25Even if she is not father's mother, consider it a kind lie for father.
00:04:33I walk into the room.
00:04:37Damien's condition is critical.
00:04:41I pick up the scalpel and slice open Damien's scalp.
00:04:45She has lost her mind.
00:04:47She did not even look at the CT scan before cutting him open.
00:04:51This is murder.
00:04:53Stop!
00:04:54Stop this at once!
00:04:56Security!
00:04:57Break in!
00:04:58Drag her out!
00:04:59They think I am cutting blindly,
00:05:00but they do not know that I can see through his skull.
00:05:03I can see the tumor,
00:05:05like an egg,
00:05:06embedded deep in the brain tissue.
00:05:08I was once a world-renowned neurosurgeon.
00:05:12And now,
00:05:15my strength,
00:05:16my speed,
00:05:17my vision are not what a normal person should have.
00:05:22Wait.
00:05:22That insertion angle,
00:05:24it is perfect.
00:05:25She missed every major vessel?
00:05:27Her hematasis technique,
00:05:29I have never seen anything so precise.
00:05:31I clasp the tumor with delicate forceps.
00:05:34Hair-thin,
00:05:35noral strands cling to it,
00:05:37but they do not stop me.
00:05:38She did it.
00:05:39The tumor that the world's leading experts declared inoperable,
00:05:43she removed it in under five minutes.
00:05:45I push open the door.
00:05:49The way they look at me is as if they are seeing a goddess.
00:05:54Miss,
00:05:55my father.
00:05:57The operation was successful.
00:06:00No sooner have I spoken than the cardiac-mometer screams.
00:06:05The jagged line that represents life flattens into one straight line.
00:06:09Father is dead!
00:06:10She killed him!
00:06:12Security!
00:06:13Capture her!
00:06:14I know I made no mistakes.
00:06:15The tumor was cleanly removed.
00:06:18Every vessel was preserved.
00:06:20There is no medical reason for cardiac arrest.
00:06:23Michael,
00:06:24what are you waiting for?
00:06:25If you will not kill her,
00:06:27I will.
00:06:29He fired a shot.
00:06:31A bullet flies straight at my head.
00:06:34I do not dodge.
00:06:36I reach out my hand and catch it.
00:06:40I crush the bullet in my palm.
00:06:42Silver dust spills through my fingers.
00:06:44What?
00:06:45What kind of monster is she?
00:06:47She can catch bullets with her bare hands?
00:06:49Everyone looks at me as if I am a monster.
00:06:51Open fire!
00:06:52I do not care what she is!
00:06:54I want her dead!
00:06:57Countless bullets hit me,
00:06:58but they don't cause me any fatal damage.
00:07:00A bullet grazes my cheek.
00:07:04The wounds appear and then heal completely in an instant.
00:07:10What kind of monster are you?
00:07:14I ignore Michael.
00:07:16I bend down to check Damien's vital signs.
00:07:19Suddenly,
00:07:21his finger twitches.
00:07:22Father's finger moved!
00:07:24Everyone's eyes focus on Damien.
00:07:27They rush over,
00:07:28push me aside,
00:07:29and gather around his bed.
00:07:31Father.
00:07:33It seems my grandchildren are somewhat filial after all.
00:07:37Damien slowly opens his eyes.
00:07:40His heartbeat gradually returns to normal.
00:07:42The heartbeat has returned.
00:07:44The surgery really succeeded.
00:07:48Father.
00:07:49You are finally awake.
00:07:54Mother.
00:07:57Damien murmurs softly.
00:07:59This makes everyone around the bed turn to look at me.
00:08:03But they do not believe I am Damien's mother.
00:08:06I do not know who you are,
00:08:07but you saved my father.
00:08:09Then you are our family's benefactor.
00:08:12It is what I should do.
00:08:14If I could trade my life for his,
00:08:16I would not hesitate.
00:08:18Michael brings me to the bedside.
00:08:20Father.
00:08:21She is the one who performed the surgery on you.
00:08:23The moment he sees me,
00:08:25Damien's eyes widen.
00:08:26To everyone's disbelief,
00:08:28he cries out,
00:08:29Mother.
00:08:30Everyone stares at Damien in shock,
00:08:33thinking he has mistaken her for someone else.
00:08:37Father.
00:08:38Are you mistaken?
00:08:39How could this young lady possibly be your mother?
00:08:46Damien struggles to get up.
00:08:49Pushes everyone aside.
00:08:51And falls to his knees before me.
00:08:59Mother.
00:09:00I missed you so much.
00:09:03Where did you go?
00:09:06I have been looking for you for a hundred years.
00:09:10I hold him gently in my arms.
00:09:15Damien, do not cry anymore.
00:09:17You are already a great-grandfather.
00:09:20Your children will laugh at you if they see you like this.
00:09:24What is wrong with crying in front of my mother?
00:09:28Even if I am one hundred and seven years old,
00:09:31in front of you,
00:09:33I will always be a child.
00:09:37What are you standing there for?
00:09:40Greet your grandmother.
00:09:43Are you all mute?
00:09:46Grandmother?
00:09:51They cannot bring themselves to call a woman who looks the same age as their own children grandmother.
00:09:57I do not blame them.
00:09:59Damien, you have just woken up.
00:10:02Do not get too emotional.
00:10:04Let your children go rest.
00:10:06We will talk later.
00:10:08Everyone go out.
00:10:10As they walk out of the room,
00:10:12they keep looking back.
00:10:16Watching their one hundred and seven-year-old father nestle beside me like a child.
00:10:24Damien falls asleep.
00:10:26I tuck him in and walk out of the room.
00:10:30Downstairs, Michael sits in the living room,
00:10:32his expressions tangled with unease.
00:10:34I do not know how to face him.
00:10:37In theory, he is my grandson.
00:10:41But he is older than I look.
00:10:44Just as I hesitate,
00:10:45a face appears on the television.
00:10:48It is an honor to welcome everyone to the LR Group's new product launch.
00:10:53I freeze.
00:10:55I rush to the television,
00:10:57staring at the tiny dark mole at the corner of his eye.
00:11:00There is no doubt.
00:11:01This man is Damien's biological father.
00:11:12Who is he?
00:11:14That is Bowen Morris,
00:11:15the CEO of the LR Group.
00:11:17Do you know him?
00:11:19How old is he?
00:11:20From what I know,
00:11:21he just turned 27.
00:11:2327 years old.
00:11:25100 years ago,
00:11:26when I met that man,
00:11:27he was also 27.
00:11:29If it is really him,
00:11:30then he,
00:11:31like me,
00:11:31have existed for over a century.
00:11:33To confirm the relationship between Damien and me,
00:11:36we go to do a paternity test.
00:11:44Soon,
00:11:45the test results come out.
00:11:48Mr. Wright,
00:11:49the DNA test results are here.
00:11:51The doctor holds a report and looks at me as if I am a monster.
00:11:58This young lady's DNA matches your father's at 0%.
00:12:02So you are saying she is not biologically related to my father?
00:12:08You fools.
00:12:11I knew all along that this woman was a fraud.
00:12:16Beyond that,
00:12:20even humans and chimpanzees share over 96% genetic similarity.
00:12:27Zero percent means this young woman is not human.
00:12:33Everyone looks at me as if I am a monster.
00:12:37Not human?
00:12:41Then what is she?
00:12:43Do you hear that?
00:12:45She is not even human.
00:12:48Security.
00:12:49Grab her.
00:12:52I knew the DNA test would raise questions,
00:12:55but I never imagined they would label me as non-human.
00:13:01I cannot explain why the DNA test turned out this way.
00:13:05100 years ago,
00:13:06I had an accident.
00:13:07When I woke up,
00:13:09I was no longer in the world I knew.
00:13:11But one thing I am certain of
00:13:13is that I am Damien's mother.
00:13:16I came for only one thing,
00:13:18to find my child.
00:13:20I want to make up for this hundred-year absence.
00:13:22You still want to deceive us.
00:13:25Someone like you should be locked up in prison for life.
00:13:29Silence!
00:13:30Who gave you the audacity to treat my mother like this?
00:13:39Whether you believe it or not is your problem.
00:13:41But if anyone dares to harm her again,
00:13:44I will not let it go.
00:13:46Damien comes.
00:13:48He sits in a wheelchair,
00:13:50pale but with sharp, commanding eyes.
00:13:53He stands in front of me again,
00:13:55just like 100 years ago,
00:13:57when that little boy tried to shield me with his small body.
00:14:02From today onward,
00:14:03the chairman of the Wright Group
00:14:05is my mother, Alice Wright.
00:14:10What did you say?
00:14:14Damien,
00:14:14are you really going to give the company
00:14:16to a woman of unknown origin?
00:14:19Father,
00:14:19this decision is too hasty.
00:14:22Even setting aside
00:14:23how unbelievable her age claim is,
00:14:26you should at least
00:14:27let us verify her identity.
00:14:30Without her,
00:14:31I would not exist.
00:14:33If she had been by my side all these years,
00:14:36this company would be
00:14:37a hundred times stronger than it is now.
00:14:40You have lost your mind!
00:14:42You have truly lost your mind!
00:14:45Damien,
00:14:46tell me,
00:14:46has this woman drugged you or something?
00:14:49I am perfectly clear-headed.
00:14:52If you cannot accept it,
00:14:55divorce me now
00:14:56and leave the Wright family immediately.
00:15:01I will kill you,
00:15:03shameless woman!
00:15:05Ruby grabs a fruit knife from the table
00:15:07and charges at me.
00:15:08I do not dodge.
00:15:11Damien,
00:15:12I tolerated her
00:15:13because she stayed by your side
00:15:14for so many years.
00:15:15But she has closed that path herself.
00:15:19I snatched the knife from her hand
00:15:21and pressed the blade against her neck.
00:15:23You will be maimed under my sanction.
00:15:25You said I am a monster.
00:15:28So remember this.
00:15:29Do not come looking for death.
00:15:32Ruby,
00:15:33you dared to lay a hand on my mother.
00:15:37From now on,
00:15:38all your credit cards are cancelled.
00:15:40Find a quiet place
00:15:41and reflect on what you have done.
00:15:47Ruby collapses on the floor crying.
00:15:49No one in the Wright family
00:15:51dares to speak.
00:15:53Then,
00:15:54I remember something else.
00:15:57You said that man's name is Bowen Morris.
00:15:59Help me contact him.
00:16:00I have something extremely urgent to confirm.
00:16:03Your reaction when you saw him
00:16:05was very abnormal.
00:16:07What exactly is your relationship with him?
00:16:10I look at dark television screen.
00:16:13That face is still lingering in my mind.
00:16:16He is Demi's biological father.
00:16:19Everyone's eyes widen
00:16:21as they stare at me in shock.
00:16:25Mom, what did you say?
00:16:27It is also possible
00:16:28that he just looks like him.
00:16:32In any case,
00:16:34arrange a meeting
00:16:35between me and Bowen Morris
00:16:36as soon as possible.
00:16:37To confirm his identity,
00:16:39they contact Bowen Morris,
00:16:40but he refuses.
00:16:41At the same time,
00:16:42Damien arranges something for me.
00:16:44Enrollment at Weston University.
00:16:46He says it is the best university
00:16:48in the country.
00:16:49I need to adapt to this era quickly,
00:16:51and attending school is the best way.
00:16:59I do not know
00:17:00that someone I never expected
00:17:02is waiting for me at this school.
00:17:08I stand at the entrance
00:17:09of Weston University.
00:17:11One hundred years ago,
00:17:13I taught here.
00:17:14Now,
00:17:15I am a student.
00:17:18I am about to step inside
00:17:20when a commotion breaks out
00:17:21to my right.
00:17:22Several boys in school uniforms
00:17:24push their way through,
00:17:25shoving all the students
00:17:26on the stairs aside.
00:17:30It is Weston Wright.
00:17:31Hurry!
00:17:32Let us go!
00:17:33He is the tyrant of Weston.
00:17:36Someone challenged him
00:17:37last semester
00:17:38and ended up in the hospital.
00:17:40A blonde young man
00:17:41walks over,
00:17:42his uniform jacket open.
00:17:45Arrogance radiates
00:17:46from every inch of him.
00:17:48What are you looking at?
00:17:49Do you not know
00:17:49how to get out of the way?
00:17:51Weston,
00:17:51this is for you.
00:17:52I have liked you
00:17:53since the first day of school.
00:17:56Get lost.
00:17:57He crushes the love letter
00:17:59into a ball,
00:18:00throws it on the ground
00:18:01and steps on it.
00:18:02The girl cries.
00:18:04No one around
00:18:04dares to speak.
00:18:06Stop right there.
00:18:12You here to confess
00:18:13your love too?
00:18:14Go wait in line.
00:18:15Pick it up.
00:18:18What did you say?
00:18:19I said,
00:18:23Pick up that letter
00:18:25give it back to her
00:18:26and then apologize.
00:18:28New student?
00:18:29Do you know who I am?
00:18:30Do you really think
00:18:31you can tell me what to do?
00:18:33Who you are
00:18:33does not matter.
00:18:35When someone offers you
00:18:36their sin's feelings,
00:18:39you can reject them,
00:18:40but you have no right
00:18:41to trample on them.
00:18:43What if I do not pick it up?
00:18:46He reaches for my collar.
00:18:48I use just one move,
00:18:50grab his shoulder,
00:18:51and execute a shoulder throw.
00:18:55He flies several meters
00:18:56and crashes to the ground.
00:18:58The whole crowd
00:18:59falls silence.
00:19:02Wesson lies on the ground,
00:19:04staring at me in disbelief.
00:19:06His followers rush over
00:19:07and help him up.
00:19:09Bustot!
00:19:13You are dead!
00:19:15This is not over!
00:19:19Wesson leaves in disgrace.
00:19:24I pick up the love letter
00:19:26and give it back to the girl.
00:19:28Instead of thanking me,
00:19:30she glares at me.
00:19:38I shake my head.
00:19:40I really do not understand
00:19:41kids these days.
00:19:43Did you see that?
00:19:46I walk into the classroom
00:19:47and am assigned
00:19:48to the back corner.
00:19:49I am about to walk over
00:19:51when a basketball flies in
00:19:52through the back door,
00:19:53heading straight for my face.
00:19:56I swat the basketball away.
00:19:58The ball belongs to Wesson.
00:20:08He comes up to me
00:20:09and kicks my chair away.
00:20:16Did I allow you to sit here?
00:20:18Leave immediately.
00:20:20Wesson and his friends
00:20:21yell at me to change seats,
00:20:23but I do not care.
00:20:25The classroom is for studying.
00:20:27You are the ones
00:20:28who should change seats.
00:20:29Wesson,
00:20:30she is just like the others,
00:20:32just trying to get your attention.
00:20:34She has been watching you
00:20:36since she stepped onto campus.
00:20:41I will give you two choices.
00:20:43Sit down properly
00:20:44or get out.
00:20:45She actually told Wesson
00:20:47to get out?
00:20:47I have never seen anyone
00:20:49dare to talk to Wesson like that.
00:20:50Does she have a death wish?
00:20:54You have some nerve.
00:20:57I hope you can last
00:20:59more than two days
00:21:00sitting here.
00:21:02Hm.
00:21:11I am Corian.
00:21:12I saw what you did
00:21:13to Wesson in there.
00:21:14That was incredible.
00:21:17Do you know
00:21:18people have started
00:21:20a betting pool?
00:21:23They are betting
00:21:24on how many days
00:21:25you can last
00:21:26sitting next to him.
00:21:28Everyone says
00:21:29Wesson is about
00:21:29to make his move.
00:21:31A bet on how many days
00:21:33I can last?
00:21:35Fine.
00:21:37I want to see
00:21:38who comes out on top.
00:21:48The next day
00:21:49I post class rules
00:21:51next to the bulletin board.
00:21:53Greet the teacher?
00:21:55No unrelated activities
00:21:56during class?
00:21:57Alice,
00:21:58who do you think you are?
00:22:00Even the teacher
00:22:01does not dare
00:22:01to control us.
00:22:03What gives you
00:22:03the right?
00:22:06Do you really think
00:22:07these stupid class rules
00:22:08will turn us
00:22:09into good students?
00:22:10This class was given up
00:22:11on long ago.
00:22:13Studying or not studying
00:22:13makes no difference.
00:22:15Just because you
00:22:15do not want to study
00:22:16does not mean
00:22:17others do not want to either.
00:22:19Mr. Faulkner,
00:22:21Alice says she can
00:22:21lead our class
00:22:22to surpass the elite class,
00:22:23the number one class
00:22:24in the school.
00:22:25Alice,
00:22:26I appreciate
00:22:27your enthusiasm.
00:22:30To be honest,
00:22:31as long as our class
00:22:31does not end up
00:22:32in last place,
00:22:33I would already be grateful.
00:22:35What if I told you
00:22:36that it is possible?
00:22:38What are you saying?
00:22:39If I can raise
00:22:40the class's average score
00:22:41on the next monthly exam,
00:22:42you will lend me
00:22:42your faculty library card.
00:22:47Fine.
00:22:49If you can actually
00:22:50raise the class average,
00:22:51not only will I lend you
00:22:52the card,
00:22:53I will agree
00:22:53to any request you make.
00:22:56Wesson spins a basketball
00:22:57nearby,
00:22:58a mocking grin
00:22:59on his lips.
00:23:01Alice,
00:23:02do you really think
00:23:03you can save this class?
00:23:04Do you know
00:23:05how pathetic
00:23:06our class average is?
00:23:11Then let us
00:23:12revise our bet.
00:23:14What do you mean?
00:23:15If I raise
00:23:16the class's grades,
00:23:17from now on,
00:23:18everyone must follow
00:23:19the class rules.
00:23:21No causing trouble,
00:23:22no defiance.
00:23:23If I lose,
00:23:25then you
00:23:25voluntarily
00:23:26withdraw from school.
00:23:29Withdraw?
00:23:30But Alice is...
00:23:31It is a deal.
00:23:32What?
00:23:33What?
00:23:34What?
00:23:35Is she crazy?
00:23:36She wants to lead
00:23:37the worst class
00:23:38to surpass
00:23:38the elite class?
00:23:39She beat up Wesson
00:23:40as soon as she arrived,
00:23:41caused trouble,
00:23:42and now she wants
00:23:43to surpass
00:23:43the elite class?
00:23:44She must be insane.
00:23:45In just one morning,
00:23:47my name spreads
00:23:48throughout the entire school.
00:23:49Everyone is waiting
00:23:50to see me get
00:23:51expelled in disgrace.
00:23:53And trouble finds me
00:23:55very quickly.
00:23:57In the cafeteria,
00:23:59Corinne and I
00:23:59are eating.
00:24:03A group of people
00:24:04approach me.
00:24:05The leader is a girl
00:24:06with a very
00:24:07unfriendly look
00:24:08in her eyes.
00:24:12So you are Alice,
00:24:14right?
00:24:15What do you want?
00:24:18Nina has heard about you
00:24:19and wants to meet you.
00:24:20She is waiting for you
00:24:22in the small courtyard.
00:24:24Alice,
00:24:25they are Nina's people.
00:24:27Nina is the highest
00:24:28of the Thompson family.
00:24:29You need to be careful.
00:24:31The Thompson family.
00:24:33During the war,
00:24:34there was a boy
00:24:35with the Cernay's Thompson.
00:24:36He was Dami's playmate.
00:24:38I wonder if he is related
00:24:40to this Nina.
00:24:43If you take one more step,
00:24:45I guarantee you will regret it.
00:24:46It offends the Thompson family
00:24:48and you will not even know
00:24:49how you die.
00:24:51She waves the small knife
00:24:53in her hand at me.
00:24:55I grab her wrist.
00:24:58Twist it and shove.
00:25:00She flies through the air.
00:25:04You dare hit me?
00:25:05Just wait.
00:25:07The Thompson family
00:25:08will not let you
00:25:09get away with this.
00:25:12They flee in embarrassment.
00:25:13But I know
00:25:15they will not let this go.
00:25:20As I go upstairs,
00:25:22Wesson is leaning
00:25:22against the stairwell corner
00:25:23as if he is waiting
00:25:25specifically for me.
00:25:27Did Nina cause trouble for you?
00:25:32Thanks to you?
00:25:34Nina has nothing to do with me.
00:25:37But she is targeting you
00:25:38because of me.
00:25:41I will handle this.
00:25:42You need my help.
00:25:44I do not need that.
00:25:45I refuse his help.
00:25:47I really want to see
00:25:48how the Thompson family
00:25:49will not let me off.
00:25:50In the classroom,
00:25:52my class rules
00:25:53have been posted
00:25:53for a week.
00:25:55No one follows them.
00:25:57Everyone laughs at me.
00:25:59Alice,
00:26:00even the teacher
00:26:01has given up on us.
00:26:03Why are you trying
00:26:04to play hero?
00:26:05Those stupid
00:26:05class rules of yours?
00:26:07Do you really think
00:26:07following them
00:26:08will get us high scores?
00:26:09Dream on.
00:26:10To be honest,
00:26:12why should we worry
00:26:13about the future?
00:26:14We were born rich.
00:26:15Whether we study or not,
00:26:17we will never have
00:26:18to worry our whole lives.
00:26:19I know every one of them
00:26:20is very rich.
00:26:21But money can disappear.
00:26:23Only knowledge
00:26:24always belongs to you.
00:26:25I post another paper
00:26:27next to the class rules.
00:26:29Scholarship incentive plan.
00:26:30For every point
00:26:31the class average goes up,
00:26:32I will reward $10,000.
00:26:34Wesson,
00:26:35look quickly.
00:26:36Alice has lost her mind.
00:26:38She wrote that
00:26:38for every point increase,
00:26:40$10,000.
00:26:41A hundred point increase
00:26:42is $1,000,000.
00:26:44Split among everyone.
00:26:45That is so much money.
00:26:46Wesson tears down
00:26:47the plan I posted.
00:26:51No studying.
00:26:53No one is allowed
00:26:54to study.
00:26:56I am in charge.
00:26:57It does not matter to me.
00:26:59Whether you study or not,
00:27:01I lose nothing.
00:27:02Your life is yours.
00:27:04Alice,
00:27:04I read your study plan.
00:27:06You explain things
00:27:07much more clearly
00:27:08than Mr. Faulkner.
00:27:09I want to learn from you.
00:27:10I really want to learn.
00:27:12Is that okay?
00:27:13Eaton walks over
00:27:14and sees me doing
00:27:15menza test questions.
00:27:17Mesa test questions?
00:27:19You dare to touch these?
00:27:21Do you think you can?
00:27:22I grab his wrist
00:27:23and twist it gently.
00:27:25A crack sounds.
00:27:27Eaton clutches his wrist
00:27:29and falls to the ground
00:27:31in pain.
00:27:33Get lost.
00:27:35The dismissal bell rings.
00:27:37Wenson is the first
00:27:38to rush out of the classroom.
00:27:44Then,
00:27:45everyone crowds around me.
00:27:48Is it true?
00:27:49Do you really give money
00:27:50for improving scores?
00:27:53Corian said your notes
00:27:54are very detailed.
00:27:55Can I borrow them
00:27:57and take a look?
00:28:00You actually believe her?
00:28:02Wesson said
00:28:03no one is allowed to study.
00:28:05He grabs a bucket
00:28:06and dumps water
00:28:08on the desks.
00:28:13Books,
00:28:14backpacks,
00:28:15test papers,
00:28:16all soaked.
00:28:17Eaton,
00:28:18have you lost your mind?
00:28:20This is only the beginning.
00:28:22Eaton slams the door
00:28:23and leaves.
00:28:25Corian turns
00:28:26to look at me.
00:28:30Alice,
00:28:31maybe you should not
00:28:32come to school
00:28:32for a few days.
00:28:33You have made Nina angry
00:28:35and now Eaton too.
00:28:37They are even harder
00:28:38to deal with
00:28:38than Wesson.
00:28:40Corian leaves.
00:28:44I am alone
00:28:45in the classroom.
00:28:48It gets dark.
00:28:50I do not yet know
00:28:51what is waiting
00:28:52for me tonight.
00:28:54Janice leads
00:28:55a group of girls
00:28:55and blocks me
00:28:56in the stairwell.
00:28:58They are holding
00:28:59a bottle.
00:29:03I smell it.
00:29:04Sulfuric acid.
00:29:06Alice,
00:29:07do you think
00:29:08you are so tough?
00:29:12Guess what it would
00:29:13feel like
00:29:14if we poured this
00:29:15on your face.
00:29:21I snatch the bottle
00:29:23of sulfuric acid
00:29:24and look at Janice.
00:29:26I point the opening
00:29:27at Janice's face.
00:29:33Her whole body
00:29:34collapses.
00:29:35No,
00:29:36I was wrong.
00:29:38I was really wrong.
00:29:41Your mouth
00:29:43needs to learn
00:29:44to shut up.
00:29:47I threw away
00:29:48the bottle.
00:29:49Janice lies
00:29:50on the ground
00:29:51trembling.
00:29:55I turn
00:29:56and walk away.
00:29:57The next day,
00:29:58when Janice comes
00:29:59to school,
00:30:00everyone stares
00:30:01at her head.
00:30:02Her hair
00:30:03has been shaved off.
00:30:04Not a single
00:30:05strand left.
00:30:07Oh my god,
00:30:08what happened
00:30:09to Janice's hair?
00:30:10Who did that?
00:30:11The whole class
00:30:12is asking.
00:30:13Who did it?
00:30:14I do not answer.
00:30:16Some questions
00:30:18do not need answers.
00:30:22Things have escalated.
00:30:25The elite class
00:30:26students start
00:30:27to surround me.
00:30:29The leader
00:30:29is Sally.
00:30:31Alice,
00:30:31I apologize to you
00:30:33on Janice's behalf.
00:30:34She went too far.
00:30:37But you should not
00:30:38take it too seriously.
00:30:40After all,
00:30:41you are new here.
00:30:42You do not understand
00:30:43the rules here.
00:30:44On the surface,
00:30:45she is mediating.
00:30:46But what she really means
00:30:48is you do not belong here.
00:30:50Have we met before?
00:30:53I was just trying
00:30:55to help you.
00:30:56Why are you so ungrateful?
00:30:58Sally kindly spoke up
00:31:00for you
00:31:00and this is your attitude?
00:31:01No wonder Janice
00:31:02wanted to teach you
00:31:03a lesson.
00:31:04You deserve to be
00:31:05put in your place.
00:31:06Sally bites her lip,
00:31:07standing in the middle
00:31:08of the crowd.
00:31:09She does not stop them.
00:31:11She just watches.
00:31:12This is what she wants.
00:31:13For everyone to think
00:31:15that I am the one
00:31:16bullying her.
00:31:23You are still too young
00:31:24to compete with me.
00:31:26Nina is not satisfied.
00:31:27She spends a large sum
00:31:29of money to hire
00:31:29international bodyguards.
00:31:31A dozen large men
00:31:32surround me.
00:31:33Alice,
00:31:34tonight is the night
00:31:35you die.
00:31:36I look at her.
00:31:38The dagger glints
00:31:39under the street light.
00:31:40Then I move.
00:31:44In less than 30 seconds,
00:31:46a dozen large men
00:31:47are all on the ground.
00:31:48Their arms are broken by me.
00:31:50They are tossed aside
00:31:51like trash.
00:31:53How is this possible?
00:31:54Are you even human?
00:32:01I grab the back
00:32:02of her collar
00:32:03and lift her up.
00:32:04I snatch the dagger
00:32:05from her hand.
00:32:07What are you going to do?
00:32:09Let me go!
00:32:12I cut off her hair.
00:32:14Strand by strand.
00:32:18Her hair falls
00:32:20to the ground
00:32:20in clumps.
00:32:22My hair!
00:32:24My hair!
00:32:30I leave.
00:32:32And her hair
00:32:33has become
00:32:34just like Janice.
00:32:39The monthly exam
00:32:41results are out.
00:32:42My score surpasses
00:32:43the elite class.
00:32:44Perfect score.
00:32:46First place
00:32:46in the school.
00:32:50The elite class teacher
00:32:52looks at the score report.
00:32:53Her face full of disbelief.
00:32:59Impossible.
00:33:00She must have cheated.
00:33:01I demand a retake.
00:33:03Take it publicly
00:33:04on the sports field.
00:33:05Full surveillance.
00:33:09I do not argue
00:33:10with this request.
00:33:11Only strength
00:33:12will truly shut them up.
00:33:14What if I still
00:33:15get a perfect score?
00:33:19If you get
00:33:20a perfect score,
00:33:21I will give you
00:33:22the elite class classroom.
00:33:24Fine.
00:33:25The exam begins.
00:33:28Aaliyah is waiting
00:33:29to see me
00:33:30make a fool of myself.
00:33:36In less than 20 minutes,
00:33:38I hand in my paper.
00:33:40My test paper
00:33:41is graded
00:33:41by Aaliyah herself.
00:33:49Seeing the perfect score
00:33:50on it,
00:33:51she completely
00:33:52breaks down.
00:33:57Perfect score?
00:33:58This is impossible.
00:33:59You must have used
00:34:01high-tech cheating methods.
00:34:03Is it really that hard
00:34:04to admit that
00:34:04someone else is excellent?
00:34:07You...
00:34:07I can prove
00:34:08that Alice did not cheat.
00:34:15Because she has passed
00:34:16the Mensa Advanced Assessment.
00:34:21The Mensa Advanced Assessment.
00:34:23Only 0.01%
00:34:26of the global population
00:34:28can pass it.
00:34:30Alice is one of them.
00:34:33This...
00:34:33This is impossible.
00:34:38Alice's IQ test results
00:34:39have broken every record
00:34:41since this school
00:34:42was founded.
00:34:43She is a once-in-a-century genius.
00:34:49Wesson's status
00:34:49at me blankly,
00:34:51his eyes full of confusion.
00:34:53Who is she really?
00:35:01The crowd disperses.
00:35:03Pierce walks over to me
00:35:04and lowers his voice.
00:35:07There is a top-secret
00:35:09national project.
00:35:10Are you willing to join?
00:35:13What project?
00:35:14I cannot say yet.
00:35:16But if you join,
00:35:17the resources you will have
00:35:19access to will be
00:35:20a hundred times more
00:35:21than what you have now.
00:35:22I do not agree.
00:35:24I do not refuse either.
00:35:26I am thinking,
00:35:27what exactly are they doing?
00:35:29The elite class lost the bet,
00:35:31but they stubbornly refused
00:35:33to move out of the best classroom.
00:35:38Sally has a heart condition.
00:35:40She cannot climb stairs.
00:35:42Changing classrooms
00:35:43will affect her health.
00:35:46When you made the bet,
00:35:48why did you not consider
00:35:50her heart condition then?
00:35:53You.
00:35:54I contact the vice president directly.
00:36:02The vice president personally orders
00:36:04that the elite class
00:36:05must move out.
00:36:13Alice, why are you so cruel?
00:36:16I am not cruel.
00:36:18I am just asking you
00:36:19to keep your word.
00:36:21The elite class students
00:36:22drag their boxes
00:36:23and slink out of the classroom.
00:36:25Sally walks at the back.
00:36:29She looks back at me.
00:36:31In that look,
00:36:32I see the deepest hatred
00:36:33I have ever known.
00:36:35Late at night,
00:36:36I return to my dorm.
00:36:43The door is open.
00:36:45Something is wrong.
00:36:48A python coils on the bed.
00:36:53Spiders crawl on the walls.
00:36:57A monitor lizard clings to the ceiling.
00:37:02Esther and her companions
00:37:03hide outside the door
00:37:04watching this scene.
00:37:05Smiles of revenge on their faces.
00:37:12Let us see how she dies this time.
00:37:16I blow a soft whistle.
00:37:21The sound is very quiet.
00:37:23But the animals hear it.
00:37:27The python slides off the bed.
00:37:29It coils around Esther's neck.
00:37:31Help!
00:37:32It is squeezing me!
00:37:34Help!
00:37:35The spider jumps onto another girl's face.
00:37:39The monitor lizard chases a third girl
00:37:42up two flights of stairs.
00:37:44The whole dormitory build is screaming.
00:37:49What?
00:37:50What is going on here?
00:37:57I do not speak.
00:37:59No one knows I can communicate with animals.
00:38:04Expel Alice!
00:38:06This is intentional assault!
00:38:09She should go to prison!
00:38:16We need to review the surveillance footage.
00:38:18The footage appears on the screen.
00:38:21Everyone sees it.
00:38:22The elite class students
00:38:23brought the animals into the dorm themselves.
00:38:26Esther used the keypad to open my door.
00:38:28No one will ever know.
00:38:37This...
00:38:37This is impossible!
00:38:39You're saying the surveillance footage is fake?
00:38:41Yes!
00:38:42The footage is fake!
00:38:44Alice fabricated it!
00:38:45The footage must be fake!
00:38:49Fake?
00:38:51Then what about the fingerprints?
00:38:54The animals have your fingerprints on them.
00:38:57Aaliyah cannot speak.
00:38:58The elite class students hang their heads.
00:39:00My students...
00:39:01This time no one can help them.
00:39:03Just then,
00:39:04Minna steps forward.
00:39:05She is the quietest student in our class.
00:39:07Sir, it's not like that at all.
00:39:09Then tell me what really happened.
00:39:13I testify that Alice used a brain-computer interface chip
00:39:16to control us.
00:39:22The special federal agency arrives.
00:39:24They are here to take me away.
00:39:29You illegally implanted a brain-computer interface chip.
00:39:34I sit calmly in the interrogation room,
00:39:36like I am listening to a joke.
00:39:38That is a federal felony.
00:39:44Your classmate has already identified you.
00:39:48Who?
00:39:50Minna Montgomery, your classmate.
00:39:53She said you used a chip to control the whole class.
00:39:57Then did you run the test?
00:39:59Do I have a chip in my body?
00:40:04I...
00:40:04I...
00:40:05The testing process is standard procedure.
00:40:07The results aren't ready yet.
00:40:09Then until the results come back,
00:40:10you have no evidence to detain me.
00:40:12The test results come back.
00:40:13There is no chip in my body.
00:40:15But Charles refuses to let me go.
00:40:18Even if there is none now,
00:40:19it does not mean you never had one.
00:40:21We need to continue the investigation.
00:40:23So you plan to detain me indefinitely without any evidence?
00:40:26Until all suspicion is eliminated.
00:40:29And does your elimination of suspicion have a time limit?
00:40:33That depends on the progress of the investigation.
00:40:38You do not have the authority to detain her.
00:40:42Who are you?
00:40:46William Swain.
00:40:48Mensa Department.
00:40:49Mesa?
00:40:50Department?
00:40:52Alice is a certified top-tier talent of our organization.
00:40:57If you do not release her immediately,
00:41:00you will bear the consequences.
00:41:04I am released.
00:41:06I return to school.
00:41:07Corrin rushes up and hugs me.
00:41:13I thought I would never see you again.
00:41:16It's all right now.
00:41:17Look, I'm perfectly fine.
00:41:19Wesson stands in the distance.
00:41:21His expression is complicated.
00:41:23He almost called home for help.
00:41:25The people he swore he would never contact again.
00:41:28Fuck, forget it, Wesson.
00:41:29The person who filed the false report will be severely punished.
00:41:36Mina Montgomery, do you have anything to say for yourself?
00:41:41I... I...
00:41:46No one expected that Mina would run to the school rooftop.
00:41:51The school pushed me to this!
00:41:53Alice pushed me to this!
00:41:58Alice Wright did this.
00:42:01My father is sick.
00:42:04My mother is gone.
00:42:06My little brothers and sisters are starving.
00:42:09I need that scholarship!
00:42:12But Alice took it all away!
00:42:15How can you be so cruel?
00:42:20Are you gonna watch my whole family starve to death?
00:42:24In front of everyone, she starts to morally manipulate me.
00:42:30Where did you spend your money?
00:42:35What?
00:42:38I pull up Mina's social media account in front of her.
00:42:41The screen is full of expensive anime figurines.
00:42:44Could you please explain the prices of these limited edition figures?
00:42:48One figurine costs enough to feed an ordinary family for three months.
00:42:52I... I... I...
00:42:53No one feels sorry for Mina's breakdown.
00:42:56People who lie do not deserve sympathy.
00:43:01You can be poor, but you cannot lie.
00:43:07Mina is asked to withdraw from school.
00:43:10The day she leaves, no one sees hair off.
00:43:12No one wants to be friends with a liar.
00:43:21Useless.
00:43:23One pawn gone just like that.
00:43:26Damn Alice.
00:43:34One day, I receive a call from Dami.
00:43:38Mom.
00:43:39I bought you a villa.
00:43:40It is right near the school.
00:43:48She can live in the school dormitory!
00:43:50Why does she need a villa?
00:43:52It is my money.
00:43:54I can spend it on whoever I want.
00:43:57Are you just going to stand there and watch your father do this?
00:44:06I...
00:44:08I think that woman will drain the right group dry sooner or later.
00:44:12Michael says nothing.
00:44:13He is not sure how he feels about me either.
00:44:15I saved his father, but my appearance has turned everything upside down for them.
00:44:21Because of your arrival, all hell is breaking loose at home.
00:44:28I know.
00:44:30But I will not back down.
00:44:39Because they are my descendants.
00:44:47I move into the villa Damien bought for me.
00:44:51Modern minimalist style.
00:44:53Very quiet.
00:44:54Very clean.
00:44:57It is the way I like it.
00:45:04I have just settled in, when I notice a figure by the window of the villa across from mine.
00:45:09I focus my gaze.
00:45:11That person's profile looks exactly like someone.
00:45:14But the next second, the figure is gone.
00:45:17Is that my imagination?
00:45:19I open my computer and search for Bowen Morris.
00:45:25That impossibly handsome face appears on the screen.
00:45:31My fingertip stops on the screen.
00:45:34Is this man really Damien's father or not?
00:45:40Just then, I receive a call from Damien.
00:45:47He is in trouble.
00:45:49Mom, the LR group's new drug is about to hit the market.
00:45:53If they succeed, our pharmaceutical business will be severely impacted.
00:45:57Bowen Morris.
00:45:59Mom, is he really my father?
00:46:03I do not answer him immediately.
00:46:05Because I have not confirmed it in person yet.
00:46:08I cannot be sure if he really is Damien's father.
00:46:10I cannot be sure yet.
00:46:12But I will find out.
00:46:14If he really is, why is he going after the right group?
00:46:18I do not know.
00:46:22But I will find the answer.
00:46:25I hang up.
00:46:26Outside the window.
00:46:27The villa across from mine is completely dark.
00:46:30Bowen Morris.
00:46:31Who exactly are you?
00:46:32Just as I am thinking about how to meet Bowen Morris, an opportunity arrives.
00:46:38He is coming to give a lecture at our school.
00:46:41Posters are plastered all over campus.
00:46:44The students go crazy.
00:46:46He is super handsome.
00:46:48And still single.
00:46:54I am going.
00:46:55No one stop me.
00:46:56I find the vice president.
00:46:59I need a front row ticket.
00:47:02The front row is reserved for VIPs.
00:47:10I do not speak.
00:47:12I just look at him quietly.
00:47:16In the end, he agrees.
00:47:20All right.
00:47:22Leave this to me.
00:47:23I will arrange it.
00:47:26On the day of the lecture, I sit in the front row.
00:47:31Amid the cheers of the students, Bowen walks onto the stage.
00:47:35He looks exactly the same as in my memory, without any change.
00:47:40When I look at him, he also looks at me.
00:47:49Time seems to stand still in this moment.
00:47:53This moment is very brief, but it also feels very long.
00:47:59Bowen shifts his gaze away and walks to the podium.
00:48:05His voice is deep and powerful.
00:48:07Every move he makes radiates a composure that does not match his age.
00:48:12I stare at the tiny dark Mo at the corner of his eye.
00:48:16The future of biotechnology lies in our understanding of the essence of life.
00:48:23It looks exactly the same as in my memory.
00:48:36The lecture ends amid the cheers of the students.
00:48:41Bowen leaves, surrounded by bodyguards.
00:48:47I stand up to chase after him, but I am blocked by his bodyguards.
00:49:01Just as I turn around, my phone buzzes.
00:49:04A message from an unknown number.
00:49:05Alice Wright, I have long admired you.
00:49:15The message is from Bowen, but he has already disappeared into the crowd.
00:49:21Looking at the message on my phone, a question arises in my mind.
00:49:29How does he know my name?
00:49:32With confusion in my heart, I leave the auditorium.
00:49:40But I hear Wesson's voice at the stairwell corner.
00:49:43He is on the phone.
00:49:45You finally took the initiative to contact me.
00:49:49I need you to help me look into someone.
00:49:52Who?
00:49:54Bowen Morris.
00:49:56Why are you looking into him?
00:49:58None of your business.
00:50:05Wesson hangs up, looks around vigilantly, and leaves only after confirming no one is there.
00:50:11But he does not notice me.
00:50:15I stand at the corner, my brows furrowed.
00:50:17Why is Wesson investigating Bowen?
00:50:26I decide not to confront Wesson for now.
00:50:30I want to see what he is really trying to do.
00:50:36Wesson has changed.
00:50:38He starts to become studious, asking me questions from time to time.
00:50:42He has transformed from a problem student into a good student.
00:50:53However, this makes Nina, who likes Wesson, very unhappy.
00:50:58One day, Nina finds Wesson.
00:51:00I have invited several university professors to come to my house for tutoring.
00:51:04Do you want to come?
00:51:05Nina pushes the professor's resumes in front of Wesson.
00:51:08Look at these professors' credentials.
00:51:10They are all top scholars.
00:51:12Okay.
00:51:13Really?
00:51:14That is great!
00:51:16The news reaches Sally's ears.
00:51:20Wesson will not go.
00:51:21He will not go.
00:51:24She resents, because she also likes Wesson.
00:51:27But she knows that Wesson went, because she does not have the money to hire professors.
00:51:32Sally stands in the hallway, watching Wesson and Nina leave together.
00:51:36I will not lose.
00:51:37I will not lose to a rich idiot.
00:51:40Her fingernails dig into her palm.
00:51:44Blood seeps out.
00:51:47She does not feel it.
00:51:53Wesson arrives at Nina's mansion.
00:51:58The living room is bigger than the school auditorium.
00:52:02Nina nestles very intimately neck to Wesson.
00:52:05I do not understand this problem.
00:52:09Can you teach me?
00:52:13Wesson frowns.
00:52:15He came here to listen to the professor's lecture.
00:52:18Not to teach Nina.
00:52:24Do you not have your own professors?
00:52:29Wesson.
00:52:31I want you to teach me.
00:52:37If you invited me to your house to start something with me, then you will be disappointed.
00:52:45Wesson, do not understand.
00:52:47I will study seriously.
00:52:49Do not go.
00:52:52Wesson pays no attention to Nina's coaxing.
00:52:55Instead, he pushes her away with disgust.
00:53:02Wesson leaves.
00:53:04Janus walks into the room and leans close to Nina.
00:53:08You will never catch him like this.
00:53:18Then what should I do?
00:53:20You need to get rid of the woman next to him first.
00:53:26Alice?
00:53:28Yes, Alice.
00:53:35I receive a mysterious invitation.
00:53:37Inside the envelope is just a card.
00:53:40On it is an address and a time.
00:53:42No signature.
00:53:44Although there is no name on it, I know it is from Bowen.
00:53:48I hesitate all night.
00:53:51Go or not go.
00:53:54If Bowen really is that man, how should I face him?
00:53:57What if I am wrong?
00:54:03In the end, I grab my coat and walk out the door.
00:54:12The car pulls up to the restaurant.
00:54:17I see Bowen is already sitting inside.
00:54:22I walk into the restaurant.
00:54:25Bowen waves to me.
00:54:27I go to the table.
00:54:29He looks up, smiles at me, and stands up very gentlemanly.
00:54:34Please sit, Alice.
00:54:38I nod to him.
00:54:45His voice sounds again.
00:54:58The first words Bowen Morris speaks make my heart skip a beat.
00:55:05Do you know me?
00:55:07I am completely frozen in place.
00:55:09I've always known you.
00:55:11One hundred years ago, you saved my life.
00:55:13You probably do not remember.
00:55:15My pupils contract.
00:55:17I saved him one hundred years ago?
00:55:19But he looks so young.
00:55:21That means he, like me, has existed for over a century.
00:55:25I went by another name back then.
00:55:27The war.
00:55:28The front lines.
00:55:29You treated my wounds.
00:55:30Bowen continues to recount details from over a hundred years ago.
00:55:34I listen quietly.
00:55:36Old memories appear in my mind.
00:55:44You are that soldier?
00:55:48Yes.
00:55:50I pick up the wine glass in front of me to take a sip and calm my nerves.
00:55:55Just then, his voice continues.
00:55:59And I also know that Damien is my son.
00:56:02My hand trembles.
00:56:04Wine sloshes out of my glass.
00:56:07My gaze locks onto his twenty-seven-year-old face.
00:56:10But I know, he is already over a hundred years old.
00:56:15After that night, I was transferred away.
00:56:19When I came back to find you, you had already disappeared.
00:56:22I listened quietly.
00:56:24In the face of war, an individual's power is too insignificant.
00:56:28I thought you were dead.
00:56:32Until a few years ago, I discovered that the founder of the Wright Group was named Damien Wright.
00:56:39I checked his DNA.
00:56:41He is my son.
00:56:44I can't believe what I'm hearing.
00:56:49Since you have existed for over a hundred years, why do you still look so young?
00:56:55I guess that, like me, he fell into a deep sleep for some special reason.
00:56:59But that is not the case.
00:57:01I traveled through time.
00:57:03What?
00:57:04Time travel?
00:57:08I listened to this news in shock.
00:57:10It sounds even more bizarre than my own experience.
00:57:14Yes.
00:57:15I do not know how it happened.
00:57:22But I was thrown one hundred years into the future.
00:57:25Then why did you not come to find Damien?
00:57:29Do you know how much he longs for his father to be by his side?
00:57:33He is silent for a very long time.
00:57:43I know, but I cannot.
00:57:46You cannot?
00:57:47Why?
00:57:50My heart is full of confusion.
00:57:53Does he have some hidden difficulty?
00:57:56It is not that I do not want to acknowledge him.
00:58:00But if I acknowledge him, he might be in big trouble.
00:58:06Big trouble?
00:58:07What do you mean?
00:58:08On the surface, the LR group is managed by me.
00:58:11But behind it, there is a massive power.
00:58:14If I admit that Damien is my son, they will move against the right group.
00:58:22What power?
00:58:25I cannot tell you yet.
00:58:27But trust me.
00:58:29Not acknowledging him is to protect him.
00:58:32I do not know whether what he says is true or false.
00:58:37But I cannot accept that the father of my child watches his child from afar but does not acknowledge him.
00:58:43In one hundred years, you only learn to run away?
00:58:47I stand up.
00:58:50I turn and leave.
00:58:51He watches my back and says one thing quietly.
00:58:58Alice, one day, you will understand.
00:59:02One day, Ruby finds Bruce.
00:59:04She is unwilling to be neglected.
00:59:09Your father has lost his mind.
00:59:11He wants to give the company to that woman of unknown origin.
00:59:17You are his son.
00:59:19You are the one who should inherit the right group.
00:59:22But father has clearly stated that the company's shares have already been transferred to her.
00:59:27That's just words.
00:59:28Legally speaking, as long as he hasn't officially signed the final documents, there's still a chance.
00:59:33Are you saying you want me to fight him for it?
00:59:36No.
00:59:36It's not about fighting.
00:59:38It's about taking back what belongs to you.
00:59:42But...
00:59:43What are you afraid of?
00:59:44Your father's health is failing.
00:59:46He does not have much longer to live.
00:59:48After he dies, who will that woman have to rely on?
00:59:52I need time to think it over.
00:59:54There isn't much time.
00:59:55Your father's health won't hold out much longer.
00:59:58Bruce's eyes change.
00:59:59He knows Ruby is telling the truth.
01:00:01In the face of profit, so-called family affection becomes as fragile as paper.
01:00:07He begins secretly contacting board members, preparing to seize power.
01:00:13He contacts board members day and night.
01:00:16He reaches out to every single member on the list.
01:00:19Michael notices Bruce's unusual movements, but he chooses to remain silent.
01:00:24Bruce, you're still too impatient.
01:00:27You two have your fight.
01:00:29I'll wait for the last card to fall.
01:00:37He is waiting.
01:00:38To see who will win, he plans to reap the benefits without doing any work.
01:00:47Compared to Bruce's power grab, the right group faces an even bigger problem.
01:00:52The LR group suddenly announces it is acquiring shares of the right group.
01:00:56The market trembles.
01:00:58I receive a call from Damie.
01:01:05His tone is very anxious.
01:01:08Mom, the LR group is making a hostile takeover of our shares.
01:01:12I know.
01:01:13Bowen told me.
01:01:15What?
01:01:16Bowen?
01:01:17You met him?
01:01:20What does he really want?
01:01:22I am silent for a moment.
01:01:23I take a deep breath, muster up all my courage and say,
01:01:27He is protecting you.
01:01:29I do not tell him that Bowen is his father.
01:01:32I plan to figure everything out first before telling him.
01:01:35This is called protecting me?
01:01:37He is destroying the life's work I built!
01:01:43I hang up.
01:01:45I dial Bowen's number.
01:01:47I cannot just watch Damie's company disappear like this.
01:01:50What are you really up to?
01:01:53I need an explanation.
01:01:55Damien is your child.
01:01:57Why are you treating him like this?
01:01:58Alice, calm down and listen to me.
01:02:01Please trust me.
01:02:02I am really helping him.
01:02:03Someone is using the company's money for illegal transactions.
01:02:06There is a mole inside the right group.
01:02:07If I do not act,
01:02:09when the government investigates,
01:02:10Damien will go to prison.
01:02:12Who?
01:02:13Bruce.
01:02:15He and Ruby are working together to drain the company dry.
01:02:18Hearing his explanation,
01:02:19I cannot help but clench my fists.
01:02:22I will never allow anyone to harm Damie.
01:02:25How do you know?
01:02:27Because my people have been secretly watching the right family.
01:02:31It turns out Bowen has not been ignoring Damie.
01:02:33He has been quietly helping him all along.
01:02:37I have a request.
01:02:40What request?
01:02:42I want to see our son.
01:02:46All right.
01:02:47I have no reason to refuse.
01:02:49He is the child's father.
01:02:51He has the right to see his child.
01:02:53I find Damien.
01:02:56Mom,
01:02:57have you seen Bowen?
01:02:58I have.
01:03:01Then he...
01:03:03He is your father.
01:03:07Mom,
01:03:08he really is my father?
01:03:11Yes.
01:03:12He is your biological father.
01:03:15He has actually been quietly watching over you.
01:03:17But for some reasons,
01:03:19he cannot acknowledge you.
01:03:21I tell Damien the truth.
01:03:23His father did not abandon him.
01:03:25He is protecting him.
01:03:28After hearing it,
01:03:29he is silent for a very long time.
01:03:32So for this entire hundred years,
01:03:34he has been watching over me in secret?
01:03:37He cannot acknowledge you publicly.
01:03:39But he has always been there.
01:03:41When I was bullied by relatives as a child,
01:03:43where was he?
01:03:45When I worked hungry,
01:03:46where was he?
01:03:47When I needed him the most,
01:03:49why could he not step forward?
01:03:52I know the pain and grievance in Damien's heart.
01:03:55I do not speak.
01:03:56I just hold him quietly.
01:03:59My child,
01:04:00he has his own difficulties too.
01:04:02Damien wipes away his tears and looks at me,
01:04:04his eyes determined.
01:04:08Mom,
01:04:08I want to see him.
01:04:10With my arrangement,
01:04:11the two of them meet.
01:04:12A 107-year-old son meets his biological father for the first time.
01:04:17And the father looks only 27.
01:04:20Bowen comes to Damien and gently holds his hand.
01:04:24I am sorry,
01:04:25Damien.
01:04:25I should have come to find you sooner.
01:04:28You are really my father?
01:04:30The room falls silent.
01:04:32Yes.
01:04:34But you look younger than I do.
01:04:37Then Bowen starts laughing too.
01:04:39But as he laughs,
01:04:41tears begin to fall.
01:04:42No parent wants to see their child leave this world before them.
01:04:45Damien,
01:04:46now I need to tell you something.
01:04:49Mom,
01:04:50what is it?
01:04:53Bruce is draining your company dry.
01:04:57After I say this,
01:04:59Bruce and Ruby's faces instantly change.
01:05:01They did not expect that I already know everything.
01:05:04After I reveal the truth,
01:05:06the two of them start to argue frantically.
01:05:09Father,
01:05:10do not listen to her nonsense.
01:05:12I did not.
01:05:14What is this crazy woman saying?
01:05:17Shut up!
01:05:19Do not think no one knows what you have done.
01:05:22Here is all the evidence against you.
01:05:25Bruce takes out a USB drive.
01:05:28Inside it records all of their conspiracies.
01:05:30Bruce,
01:05:31it is all you.
01:05:33You did all of this.
01:05:36You colluded with outsiders to swallow the right group.
01:05:41You think after your father dies,
01:05:43everything will be yours?
01:05:45Did you not tell me to do all of this?
01:05:47I may hate that woman,
01:05:49but I hate those who betray this family even more.
01:05:54Bruce,
01:05:55you have deeply disappointed me.
01:05:57At this moment,
01:05:58no one speaks for him.
01:06:00Everyone is kicking him when he is down.
01:06:03Bruce is expelled from the family.
01:06:04As he leaves,
01:06:06he looks back at me.
01:06:07You will regret this.
01:06:10After the dust settles,
01:06:11Damien calls me to his side.
01:06:14Mom,
01:06:14I want to retire.
01:06:19I am at ease leaving the right group in your hands.
01:06:22I do not need your company.
01:06:24What I want is for you to live well.
01:06:28I will.
01:06:32Because you came back.
01:06:34Outside the window,
01:06:36the sunlight is just right.
01:06:38The ginkgo trees in the century-old estate are golden.
01:06:41I stand by the window,
01:06:43looking at this world I left 100 years ago.
01:06:46Everything is changing.
01:06:47But some things never change.
01:06:49What I do not know is that Wesson is standing at the classroom door right now.
01:06:54Looking at my empty seat.
01:06:56Lost in thought.
01:07:00Sally realizes that her status as the school beauty has been completely replaced by me.
01:07:05She decides to destroy me.
01:07:09Anonymous posts suddenly appear on the school forum.
01:07:12They say I got into the school through special connections.
01:07:15They say I have been involved with multiple wealthy men.
01:07:18The posts come with photos,
01:07:20with evidence,
01:07:22written convincingly.
01:07:23Did you see that?
01:07:25That transfer student, Alice?
01:07:27So she is that kind of person.
01:07:29I knew she could not be that clean.
01:07:31Pretty and smart.
01:07:33How could that be?
01:07:36It must be Sally.
01:07:38Who else hates you this much?
01:07:40Let her post.
01:07:41The innocent have nothing to fear.
01:07:43You are just going to let it go?
01:07:44They are ruining your reputation.
01:07:47No one will listen if I explain now.
01:07:49The truth is most powerful when it surfaces on its own.
01:07:53I calmly look at those posts.
01:07:55But I know there is a deeper conspiracy behind this attack.
01:07:59Sally alone could not fabricate such convincing posts.
01:08:02Someone is behind her.
01:08:05The truth is just as I thought.
01:08:07A message arrives on Sally's phone.
01:08:09Her finger pauses on the screen for a moment.
01:08:12Good work.
01:08:13Next step.
01:08:14Destroy her reputation.
01:08:15Then she types one word.
01:08:17Received.
01:08:19Alice.
01:08:20Wait and see.
01:08:22Wesson uses his hacking skills to trace the IP address of the poster.
01:08:26It points directly to Sally's computer.
01:08:32Wesson slams the evidence down in front of Sally.
01:08:36Facing the evidence, Sally is completely speechless.
01:08:40What do you have to say for yourself now?
01:08:44You...
01:08:46You hacked my computer for her?
01:08:49I am just using the same methods you use against others against you.
01:08:57You were not like this before.
01:09:05You used to be so kind to me.
01:09:09I was kind to you?
01:09:11When?
01:09:12Do you really not remember?
01:09:13When we were children?
01:09:15We met!
01:09:17I do not remember.
01:09:20Of course you are the young master.
01:09:22Why would you remember a poor girl?
01:09:25I stand in the distance watching this scene.
01:09:29Sally is crying but her tears are not remorse.
01:09:33They are resentment.
01:09:35A woman's jealousy is sharper than any blade.
01:09:39Wesson and Sally met when they were children?
01:09:42This makes me a little surprised.
01:09:44After all, their social statuses are worlds apart.
01:09:48When I was little, I lived in a small town.
01:09:51Your grandmother once sponsored our school.
01:09:54You came to visit us and even gave me a gift.
01:09:57I do not remember.
01:10:02Of course you are the young master.
01:10:05Why would you remember a poor girl?
01:10:06Anything else?
01:10:08Sally's eyes are filled with nostalgia.
01:10:11But that nostalgia is not love.
01:10:13It is obsession.
01:10:15What she remembers is not Wesson the person.
01:10:18But the world she desperately wants to break into.
01:10:21But has always been shut out of.
01:10:25I find Wesson.
01:10:32Who is your grandmother?
01:10:34He wants to speak but hesitates.
01:10:37Finally, he falls silent.
01:10:41Wesson finally speaks about the family he never mentions.
01:10:44My grandmother is Ruby Wright.
01:10:47His grandmother is Ruby.
01:10:49I freeze.
01:10:50Wesson is Damien's grandson?
01:10:53Then I am his great-grandmother?
01:10:55This teenager in a school uniform who fights and never studies is my grandson's son?
01:11:03Wesson is silent for a moment.
01:11:04Then speaks again.
01:11:07But I never liked that family since I was little.
01:11:09They only care about money.
01:11:10Only about status.
01:11:11So I ran away from home.
01:11:13I changed the spelling of my last name so they could not find me.
01:11:17I look at Wesson.
01:11:18I only feel pain for him.
01:11:22How disappointed must a child be to leave his own home?
01:11:26That cold, Hippocratical home was never somewhere I wanted to stay.
01:11:30Do you know what relation you are to me?
01:11:35We're just ordinary classmates.
01:11:38What other connection could there be?
01:11:40Yes, we are just classmates.
01:11:42I do not answer directly.
01:11:44I want him to come to terms with it slowly on his own.
01:11:47From classmate to great-grandson, that is a big leap.
01:11:50It will take him some time to digest.
01:11:53Wesson learns my true identity.
01:11:56Wesson sits on the steps, holding his head, finding it hard to accept this fact.
01:12:02So the reason you have always treated me like a child is because you really are my elder?
01:12:09Yes.
01:12:12Then everything I said to you before, everything I did...
01:12:20You are a good kid.
01:12:23You just took the wrong path.
01:12:27Can you still keep teaching me?
01:12:29Of course.
01:12:31You are my great-grandson.
01:12:33If I do not teach you, who will?
01:12:40In the distance, Sally sees this scene.
01:12:43There is no envy in her eyes.
01:12:45Only hatred.
01:12:47Deeper hatred.
01:12:48She cannot have Wesson.
01:12:50Yet Wesson follows me around like a little dog.
01:12:53She does not understand why.
01:12:55She never will.
01:13:00Esther comes to find me.
01:13:04She kneels in front of me.
01:13:08Please teach me.
01:13:13Get up.
01:13:14Do not kneel.
01:13:17I know I was wrong before, but I truly want to change.
01:13:22I look at Esther.
01:13:24Her eyes are red from crying, tear stains still fresh on her face.
01:13:28She is not putting on an act.
01:13:31She is truly at the end of her rope.
01:13:34Sally does not want her anymore.
01:13:36The elite class does not want her anymore.
01:13:38She is alone, with nowhere to go.
01:13:41So she comes to me.
01:13:43She kneels in front of me and begs me to teach her.
01:13:46Are you sure?
01:13:48This path is not easy.
01:13:50She nods firmly.
01:13:52She looks at me with something I have never seen in her eyes before.
01:13:56It is determination.
01:13:58I am sure.
01:13:59I cannot keep following Sally anymore.
01:14:03I do not want to live in someone else's shadow for the rest of my life.
01:14:08There are no shortcuts here.
01:14:11And I won't go easy on you.
01:14:16I pick up a notebook from my desk and hand it to her.
01:14:19From today on, you are my student.
01:14:21Some people have to hit the wall many times before they turn back.
01:14:27Thank you, Alice.
01:14:29Esther is lucky.
01:14:31When she turned back, someone was still there waiting for her.
01:14:35Not everyone has that kind of luck.
01:14:37Sally discovers that Esther has defected.
01:14:40She is so angry, she throws her phone against the wall.
01:14:44The screen shatters, but she does not care.
01:14:47Her pawns, one by one, are all gone.
01:14:50The midterm exam arrives.
01:14:52This is my class's last chance to prove themselves.
01:14:56They definitely cheated on the monthly exam last time.
01:14:59This time there are signal jammers.
01:15:00Let us see how they do now.
01:15:02Just wait and laugh.
01:15:03What good results could Alice's class possibly get?
01:15:08I walk into the exam hall as calm as if I were taking a stroll.
01:15:12Wesson sits next to me and takes a deep breath.
01:15:14Alice, if I do well, will you be proud of me?
01:15:18You are taking the exam for yourself, not for me.
01:15:21This time, he cannot embarrass me.
01:15:23The exam begins.
01:15:25The sound of pens scratching across paper fills the room.
01:15:30I hand in my paper early and walk out of the exam hall.
01:15:34The sunlight is beautiful.
01:15:36I lean against a pillar in the hallway, waiting for them to come out.
01:15:40Tomorrow the results will be out.
01:15:42Then we just wait and laugh at Alice.
01:15:44Exactly.
01:15:45With signal jammers in place, how can she possibly cheat now?
01:15:48And handing in her paper early?
01:15:50I bet she just didn't know how to answer and left early.
01:15:55On the day the results are announced, the entire school gathers in the auditorium.
01:16:03Who will be number one?
01:16:06The results are out.
01:16:08The school's number one is not from the elite class.
01:16:21First place.
01:16:24Wesson Wright.
01:16:28He is stunned.
01:16:30Me?
01:16:32What?
01:16:33Wesson?
01:16:33That good for nothing Wesson?
01:16:35How is this possible?
01:16:39Alice, I make it.
01:16:43You deserved it, Wesson.
01:16:44Keep pushing forward.
01:16:46Please join us in welcoming Wesson to the stage to share his story.
01:16:55He walks up to the stage to accept the award.
01:16:59Facing the microphone, he says one thing.
01:17:02None of this would have been possible without someone's efforts.
01:17:05I want to thank someone.
01:17:08Without her, I would still be that last place loser.
01:17:13His gaze falls on me.
01:17:16Thank you, Alice.
01:17:27Thank you, Alice.
01:17:33Sally stands in the corner, biting her lip, her fingernails digging into her palm.
01:17:39She lost.
01:17:40Completely lost.
01:17:44Sally comes to find me.
01:17:46For the first time, she sets aside her pride.
01:17:54I lost.
01:17:56I lost.
01:17:57I am not as good as you.
01:17:59It is not that you are not as good as me.
01:18:02You lost to yourself.
01:18:06Maybe.
01:18:07She turns to leave.
01:18:09I stop her.
01:18:13Sally, wait!
01:18:15What's up?
01:18:19I signed your scholarship application for you.
01:18:27Why?
01:18:28Because you deserve a chance.
01:18:32Do not waste it.
01:18:36Her tears fall.
01:18:40You...
01:18:41Do you not hate me?
01:18:44Hating you is too exhausting.
01:18:46I do not have the time.
01:18:48This is the first time Sally cries sincerely.
01:18:51Not out of grievance,
01:18:52but because she finally understands that some things cannot be taken by force.
01:18:57Like respect.
01:18:59Like trust.
01:19:06The semester ends.
01:19:08I stand at the school gate.
01:19:10Watching the sunset.
01:19:11The sky is orange-red.
01:19:13Just like that night 100 years ago.
01:19:17Bowen pulls up and stops in front of me.
01:19:24Get in.
01:19:26I am taking you to see something.
01:19:28Where?
01:19:30You will know when we get there.
01:19:40I get in the car.
01:19:41Bowen takes me to an ancient castle.
01:19:43It is the exact same castle I went to before I fell into my deep sleep.
01:19:51We are here.
01:19:52Let's get out.
01:20:02This is...
01:20:03This place is where you began your deep sleep.
01:20:05It is also why I was able to find you.
01:20:08I push the door open and walk inside.
01:20:10Deep inside the castle,
01:20:11there is a light.
01:20:12I do not know where it comes from.
01:20:14It just shines there.
01:20:16Do you want to know the truth?
01:20:23I look back once.
01:20:25Outside the door is the sunset.
01:20:27Inside the door is the light.
01:20:29I take a deep breath and walk toward that light.
01:20:32100 years later,
01:20:33I stand before this door again.
01:20:35This time,
01:20:36I am taking back what belongs to me.
01:20:38I do not know where I am.
01:20:39You
