00:00:00a billionaire from the west coast.
00:00:01The other was Victor.
00:00:03Inside a gothic cathedral stood two men looking for wives.
00:00:06One was Jace, a billionaire from the west coast.
00:00:09The other was Victor, a small-time thug from the east coast.
00:00:12For the sake of a massive bride price,
00:00:14our powerful stepmother made us choose which one we would marry.
00:00:17In my last life, my younger sister Lily rushed to choose Jace, the billionaire,
00:00:21and she pushed Victor, that low-life thug, onto me.
00:00:26But no one expected that five years later,
00:00:29Jace would go completely bankrupt,
00:00:31and Lily would have no choice but to move with him into a leaking slum.
00:00:35As for that thug Victor,
00:00:36he carved a bloody path across the east coast
00:00:38and became a mafia godfather who struck fear into everyone who heard his name.
00:00:42I became the mafia matriarch countless people tried to curry favor with.
00:00:46Luxury cars and yachts, whenever I went out, money spent like water.
00:00:50When I saw Lily starving in the slums, picking up discarded vegetable leaves,
00:00:53I kindly handed her a check for $1 million to help improve her life.
00:00:57But she tore the check to pieces, clamped both hands around my throat,
00:01:00and dragged me towards a speeding truck.
00:01:02Give me back the life that should have been mine!
00:01:04The truck roared past, and Lily and I died together.
00:01:08When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to five years ago,
00:01:12to the day Jace and Victor came to choose their wives.
00:01:17I like wild men.
00:01:19I'm going with you!
00:01:22As if she had already decided that in this life,
00:01:26she would become the mafia matriarch and crush me completely under her feet.
00:01:31I knew then that Lily had been reborn too.
00:01:34She thought she had stolen my life.
00:01:36But I only found it funny.
00:01:38Victor was no devoted underworld boss from some mafia movie.
00:01:41He was a demon who took pleasure in tormenting people.
00:01:45The only reason Victor became a mafia godfather in my last life
00:01:48was because of the leadership I gave him from behind the scenes.
00:01:51Even so, Victor still broke 199 of my bones.
00:01:55I looked at Lily's relieved expression and curved my lips.
00:01:59You think you're about to live a glorious life above everyone else?
00:02:03But you have no idea.
00:02:04This road will only drag you into hell.
00:02:07Lily thought that throwing herself into Victor's arms would guarantee he would take her in.
00:02:11But Victor shoved her away and fixed his gaze on me.
00:02:16Come here.
00:02:16I want you.
00:02:18My heart trembled.
00:02:19Fear flooded over me like a tide.
00:02:21Memories from my last life poured into my mind in an instant.
00:02:24Being chained in his basement and beaten.
00:02:26Being handed to other gangs as a hostage and violated.
00:02:28Having my bones shattered for human experiments.
00:02:31I froze where I stood.
00:02:32Unable to move even half a step.
00:02:34Lily panicked at the sight.
00:02:36Don't choose my sister Chloe.
00:02:37She's vain and greedy.
00:02:39Always thinking about diamonds and sports cars.
00:02:41How could she possibly endure your dangerous bloodstake life?
00:02:45She looks down on you, but I'm willing to suffer with you.
00:02:51Fine.
00:02:52Then you'll be my woman.
00:02:54As long as you behave and do what I say,
00:02:57I'll make sure you can walk all over this street.
00:03:00I believe you.
00:03:02I believe you.
00:03:02I'll do whatever you say.
00:03:04At that moment, Jace, who stood beside us, held out an expensive wedding gown to me.
00:03:09Will you be my wife and leave with me?
00:03:12I'm currently facing a financial crisis.
00:03:16But I promise you, even if I lose everything, I'll never let you go hungry.
00:03:21Without hesitation, I placed my hand in his palm.
00:03:25I will.
00:03:26I knew very well that Jace was an exceptional man.
00:03:28In my last life, after Jace went bankrupt, even when he had to work three jobs a day,
00:03:33he still saved the last piece of bread for Lily.
00:03:35But Lily cursed him all day long, calling him useless.
00:03:38Since you're too blessed to appreciate him, then he'll be mine.
00:03:41When Lily climbed onto Victor's battered motorcycle, she turned back and whispered to me.
00:03:45Jace is about to go bankrupt and end up on the street.
00:03:48Victor will fight his way back into high society sooner or later.
00:03:51Chloe, in this life, you can wait in the gutter and look up at me.
00:03:56So she knew I had been reborn too, and she thought she had stolen my life.
00:04:00I watched the motorcycle roar away and sneered in the room.
00:04:03Only I knew Victor would treat the woman beside him like a machine
00:04:06until he had squeezed out every last drop of value.
00:04:09In my last life, when I first followed Victor back to the East Coast,
00:04:13I had naively believed he was a good man too.
00:04:15He bought me the most expensive dresses and took me in and out of the top underground casinos.
00:04:19Even though back then, I was so afraid I could barely walk, he brainwashed me,
00:04:24telling me this was the unique love a man who lived on the edge had for me.
00:04:28Until one day, his gang hit a dead end.
00:04:31Without hesitation, he chained me up and handed me over to a rival gang.
00:04:36I was abused by those vile men for two full years.
00:04:41Only then did I understand that Victor had only ever seen me
00:04:44as a scapegoat he could discard at any time.
00:04:48Chloe, welcome home.
00:04:51Jace's gentle voice sounded beside me.
00:04:53I followed Jace into the villa.
00:04:55The moment he opened the door, I froze.
00:04:58It was a luxurious dressing room filled with limited edition gowns from the current season.
00:05:02Brilliant jewels flashed almost blindingly under the lights.
00:05:06My eyes warmed.
00:05:08Jace, thank you.
00:05:10I've never seen such a beautiful place.
00:05:12Since you've come home with me,
00:05:14you're the mistress of this house.
00:05:16Swipe the card for anything you want.
00:05:22I'll never let my woman suffer the slightest grievous.
00:05:26Warmth rushed through my chest.
00:05:29Even though his company was currently being jointly stingled by Wall Street,
00:05:33he still gave me the very best.
00:05:36I'll behave.
00:05:38Facts proved that Jace was the perfect gentleman.
00:05:41He cherished me like a priceless treasure.
00:05:44My food, clothes, and daily necessities were all top tier.
00:05:48But he didn't know that I was no longer the fallen heiress
00:05:50who only knew how to enjoy herself.
00:05:54In my last life, I hid behind the scenes
00:05:57and helped Victor build a massive mafia empire.
00:06:00In this life, I could help Jace protect everything too.
00:06:05I walked straight into his study
00:06:07and picked up the financial reports on his desk.
00:06:13Since you're protecting me,
00:06:15I'll protect your business empire for you.
00:06:18Only three days later, Wall Street's hunt began.
00:06:21Jace's enemies had brabbed an executive in his company.
00:06:23They planned to present a fake report at the board meeting
00:06:25and force Jace out.
00:06:26In my last life, Jace fell at this very step.
00:06:29Not only did he go bankrupt,
00:06:30he was also saddled with massive debt.
00:06:32But in this life, I was here.
00:06:34My experience laundering money for Victor
00:06:36in my past life made me intimately familiar
00:06:38with these kinds of business tactics.
00:06:40I hacked directly into that traitorous executive's email,
00:06:42obtained ironclade proof that they had falsified the data,
00:06:45and sent it straight to the FBI.
00:06:46Not only that, I also used a black card Jace had given me
00:06:49to set a financial trap in the futures market.
00:06:51Jace, this time you won't lose.
00:06:54That night, a top charity gala was held in Manhattan.
00:06:57I held Jace's arm and stepped out of a Rolls Royce.
00:07:00But unexpectedly, I ran into Lily there.
00:07:02Victor was nothing but an up-and-coming street thug.
00:07:05He had no qualifications to attend such an event.
00:07:07Clearly, Lily had forced Victor to fortune-buying invitations
00:07:09so she could show off her mafia wife persona.
00:07:11Lily arrogantly blocked my path.
00:07:13Chloe, what a surprise.
00:07:15Jace, that loser who's going bankrupt tonight,
00:07:17actually managed to borrow money to rent you a gown?
00:07:20You have no idea how amazing Victor is.
00:07:23He took over three blocks of territory.
00:07:25The cash he brings home could fill a bathtub!
00:07:28See that?
00:07:29He assigned me fully-armed bodyguards to protect me,
00:07:31and every day he has people stew the finest supplements for me.
00:07:34You'll never experience this kind of love in your life.
00:07:37I looked at her nouveau riche posturing
00:07:39and smeared again and again in my heart.
00:07:41Bodyguards? Supplements?
00:07:43Lily had no idea that Victor's frantic territorial expansion
00:07:46had already angered several old mafia families.
00:07:49He gave Lily bodyguards to disguise her as a top-priority target
00:07:53and draw assassin fire.
00:07:55He fed her expensive supplements so he could draw her healthy blood
00:07:58and trade it to high-level figures on the underground black market
00:08:01in exchange for resources and life extension.
00:08:03I looked at Lily with pity.
00:08:05She wasn't far from death.
00:08:07Seeing me silent,
00:08:09Lily thought she had hit a sore point
00:08:10and laughed even more wildly.
00:08:13I just heard several Wall Street big shots say
00:08:16that after tonight, Jace will have nothing!
00:08:18She leaned closer and lowered her voice.
00:08:21When that happens,
00:08:22you'll have to sell yourself in the slums to pay off his debts.
00:08:25The throne above everyone else is mine in the end.
00:08:33I smiled.
00:08:34Then let's wait and see.
00:08:37When Lily saw that I wasn't intimidated at all,
00:08:39she stomped her foot hard.
00:08:41Chloe, just you wait!
00:08:43Sooner or later, you'll be kneeling and begging me!
00:08:47She turned and walked toward Eric,
00:08:50the crown prince of Wall Street,
00:08:51picked up a glass of champagne
00:08:53and tried to build a connection.
00:08:55Mr. Eric,
00:08:56Victor asked me to send you his regards.
00:08:58From now on,
00:09:00he'll have your East Coast business covered.
00:09:02Eric didn't even look at her
00:09:03before knocking over his glass with the back of his hand.
00:09:09What gutter rat thinks she's worthy of cozying up to me?
00:09:13But on TV,
00:09:14you clearly said you respected people
00:09:16who would do whatever it took to climb up.
00:09:17That's me!
00:09:18How can you look down on me?
00:09:20Watching this,
00:09:21I couldn't help finding it funny.
00:09:22In my last life,
00:09:24after Victor became a mafia godfast,
00:09:26Eric did indeed fawn over me like a dog.
00:09:28But Lily didn't know that the current Victor
00:09:30was nowhere near qualified.
00:09:32Capitalists like Eric only respected absolute power.
00:09:34They would never spare a second glance
00:09:36for a street thug's woman.
00:09:38A cheap whore who eats off gangsters
00:09:41has no right to dirty my suit.
00:09:46Mrs. Jace,
00:09:47congratulations to Mr. Jace
00:09:49on his perfect counterattack
00:09:50in the futures market tonight,
00:09:52earning a net profit of one billion.
00:09:54Wall Street will be relying on you from now on!
00:09:57Lily froze where she stood,
00:09:59shaking her head in disbelief.
00:10:00What nonsense are you talking about?
00:10:01Jace is supposed to go bankrupt tonight.
00:10:03Victor is the future godfather.
00:10:04She suddenly lunged at Eric.
00:10:05Eric, open your eyes!
00:10:06You should be working with me!
00:10:07Eric shoved her to the floor,
00:10:08his face full of disgust.
00:10:09Who collects protection money?
00:10:10Tonight, some other family
00:10:11will throw him into the sea
00:10:12to feed the sharks.
00:10:13What mafia matriarch fantasy are you having?
00:10:15The surrounding elite
00:10:16covered their ears and laughed,
00:10:18their gazes as sharp as knives.
00:10:19So she's a lunatook
00:10:20trying to use a thug
00:10:21to climb into power.
00:10:22Hurry up and call security
00:10:23to throw this bitch out!
00:10:24She's dirtying our eyes!
00:10:25Humiliated to the bone,
00:10:26Lily climbed...
