00:02:09the range with all my strength the carriage lost control and slammed into a luxurious carriage coming
00:02:14from the opposite direction ignoring the pain i climbed out of the carriage and fled toward that
00:02:19carriage that was my only chance to escape from behind came the knight's curse that bitch wants to run

00:02:30i desperately shoved my hand into the gap the door opened an extraordinarily handsome man sat inside
00:02:37his eyes cold and piercing i grabbed the corner of his clothing and begged in broken words

00:02:50sir we were in a rush to deliver the bride to the shore family hitting your carriage just now was
00:02:54our fault
00:02:55there was a hidden meaning in his words offending the shaw family would have no good outcome
00:02:59i shook my head desperately the potion made it impossible for me to speak in complete sentences

00:03:28the carriage drove away
00:03:30i slumped in the carriage
00:03:31my whole body burning
00:03:33the potion was getting stronger and stronger
00:03:35the carriage headed toward a seaside castle
00:03:39my consciousness grew hazier i curled up in the man's arms
00:03:42my whole body burning
00:03:44the castle stood by the sea
00:03:46with bass reliefs on its outer walls
00:03:50only a master craftsman could have built something so luxurious and elegant
00:03:57the interior decor was even more exquisite
00:03:59several famous paintings hung on the walls
00:04:02a testament to the owner's refined taste
00:04:07guards stood everywhere
00:04:08this man
00:04:09he was no ordinary person
00:04:12he carried me into the bathroom and put me into the bathtub
00:04:17i wrapped my arms around his neck and refused to let go
00:04:22bear with it
00:04:23it won't take long
00:04:25he turned on the cold water and showered me
00:04:27but even after 10 minutes
00:04:29i was still burning with desire
00:04:32fascinated by the silky feeling of his smooth skin
00:04:36i could not help but lean my face on his chest
00:04:38he tried to push me away
00:04:40but i grabbed his finger
00:04:42put it into my mouth
00:04:43gripped it with my plump red lips
00:04:45and licked his fingertip with my tongue
00:04:48help me

00:04:55pressed my red lips against his
00:04:58and kissed him passionately
00:05:00his desire was aroused
00:05:02he had planned to restrain himself
00:05:04but this kiss gave him a clear taste of lust

00:05:08i shook my head
00:05:09my mind was completely consumed by lust

00:05:35to the scar on his waist
00:05:36i reached out and caressed
00:05:38the slightly shriveled skin on his scar
00:05:40he tensed up instantly
00:05:42his breathing turning ragged
00:05:43his lips pressed against mine
00:05:45i kissed him back
00:05:47wrapping my arms around his neck
00:05:49and threading my fingers through his hair
00:05:51that night
00:05:52we were both crazy about each other's bodies
00:05:58the next morning
00:06:00sunlight streamed into the room
00:06:01i woke up
00:06:02i was completely undressed
00:06:06and that man was lying next to me
00:06:08i was completely panicked
00:06:10i saw the blood stain on the bed sheet
00:06:12i was both ashamed and furious
00:06:14my torn gown was scattered on the floor
00:06:16i hurriedly put it on
00:06:18and left all the gold coins in my pocket
00:06:19on the small table beside the bed
00:06:21i found a piece of parchment
00:06:22and quickly wrote a few lines
00:06:24i know you're wealthy
00:06:25but i never fail to pay my debts
00:06:27we're even now
00:06:28goodbye
00:06:28i tucked the note under the gold coins
00:06:31and tiptoed out of the room
00:06:32as soon as i left
00:06:33that man opened his eyes
00:06:35he had been awake the whole time
00:06:36just wanting to see what i would do
00:06:38my bride ran away again
00:06:40he picked up the note
00:06:41the corners of his lips curling up slightly
00:06:43we're even?

00:06:50on that wedding carriage

00:06:53wayne evans pushed the door open
00:06:55and walked in
00:06:55where did you go last night?
00:06:57why didn't you marry miss kane?
00:06:59the shore family is in chaos
00:07:00i was consummating my marriage last night
00:07:02wayne froze
00:07:03too stunned to respond for a long moment
00:07:06what happened?
00:07:08he didn't answer
00:07:09he looked down at the note
00:07:10his slender fingers gently tracing it
00:07:12we will meet again very soon
00:07:14i returned to the cottage i rented
00:07:16i was about to go out and buy contraceptive herbs
00:07:19when i opened the door
00:07:20my father was standing right there
00:07:23why didn't you get married yesterday?
00:07:25where are those two knights?
00:07:27what did you do to them?
00:07:29i don't know
00:07:30and i don't want to marry anyone
00:07:31from the shaw family
00:07:34the shaw family came demanding answers this morning
00:07:37i lied and said there was trouble on the road
00:07:40so they gave us one more day
00:07:42if you don't marry him
00:07:44the entire kane estate will be ruined
00:07:46i will never take sarissa's place
00:07:49i stopped being your daughter
00:07:51the day you kicked me out of the house
00:07:53so you don't want this ring either
00:07:55he held out his right hand
00:07:56the sapphire ring on his pinky sparkled in the sunlight
00:08:00that's my mother's ring
00:08:02as long as you are willing
00:08:03to marry into the shaw family for sarissa
00:08:06i will give you this ring after five days
00:08:09before she died
00:08:10my mother repeatedly told me to find this ring
00:08:13i didn't know why she cared so much about it
00:08:15but i couldn't ignore her last wish
00:08:18fine
00:08:18i agreed to marry him
00:08:22i put on a new wedding gown
00:08:25got into the carriage again
00:08:27and arrived at the shaw family's castle
00:08:34at the wedding ceremony
00:08:36the groom was nowhere to be seen
00:08:38why isn't he here yet
00:08:40i heard that masked loser
00:08:42doesn't want to marry her at all
00:08:44who would want to marry a woman like that
00:08:48arrogant and bossy
00:08:49she changes men faster than she changes clothes
00:08:52i clutched my gown
00:08:53my palms sweating
00:08:59those mocking words cut into me like knives
00:09:02adrian came to my side and lowered his voice
00:09:05grinding his teeth
00:09:08if tyson doesn't show today
00:09:11you can forget about getting your mother's ring
00:09:13i bit my lip and looked toward the entrance
00:09:15is he coming or not
00:09:17minute by minute passed
00:09:18the mockery grew louder
00:09:20i was almost in despair
00:09:21just then the heavy door of the hall slowly pushed open
00:09:25the sound of footsteps thundered in my ears
00:09:28everyone turned to look at the door
00:09:32a man wearing a metal mask walked in
00:09:37his build
00:09:38his eyes
00:09:41why do they look so familiar
00:09:42that man wearing the metal mask walked straight towards me
00:09:46i'm tyson shaw
00:09:48sorry i'm late
00:09:49i took a deep breath
00:09:50and forced myself to stay calm
00:09:52according to the plan
00:09:53i had to say my stepsister's name
00:09:54because i was a substitute bride
00:09:56i'm serista kane
00:09:58his eyes behind the mask stared at me
00:10:00i didn't slip up
00:10:01then a man stepped out from the crowd
00:10:03he was tyson's brother
00:10:04mac shaw
00:10:05i'm surprised miss kane is so open
00:10:07sleeping with another man
00:10:09the day before her wedding
00:10:11the hickeys are so obvious
00:10:13i quickly covered my neck
00:10:14the marks from last night
00:10:16you shameless woman
00:10:17how dare you do such a thing
00:10:20i clutched my gown
00:10:21bit my lip hard
00:10:22i couldn't speak
00:10:23because he was telling the truth
00:10:25a slut like her
00:10:27marrying into the shaw family
00:10:29what's the difference between her and a whore
00:10:31those words cut into me like knives
00:10:35i was about to break down
00:10:37just then tyson suddenly wrapped his arm around my waist
00:10:40i'm sorry
00:10:41it was my fault last night
00:10:43i wasn't gentle enough
00:10:44the entire hall fell silent in an instant
00:10:48i was stunned too
00:10:57could it be that he was the man i spent the night with
00:10:59i heard that tyson shaw was disfigured
00:11:02weak and sickly
00:11:04so he definitely wasn't that man from last night
00:11:07maybe he didn't want to be humiliated
00:11:09so he covered for me instead
00:11:11tyson had already claimed the hickeys
00:11:13so no one dared to speak another word
00:11:15the wedding continued and the vicar guided us through the vows
00:11:17sarissa kane
00:11:18do you take tyson shaw to be your lawfully wedded husband
00:11:21i looked into tyson's eyes
00:11:23he was staring at me
00:11:24i do
00:11:25after we exchanged rings
00:11:28duke danilo tyson's father spoke arrogantly
00:11:35you can stay in the main castle tonight
00:11:38i don't want you to think i'm not being kind
00:11:41no thanks
00:11:42we're going home
00:11:45tyson
00:11:46are you thinking our home is too humble for your wife
00:11:50he lowered his head and looked into my eyes
00:11:53tyson ignored him
00:11:54are you willing to come with me
00:11:57of course
00:11:59you're my husband now
00:12:00wherever you go
00:12:01i go
00:12:04after tyson and i finished our wedding ceremony
00:12:06he took me
00:12:07and we left the shaw estate directly
00:12:11everyone watched as we climbed onto that old
00:12:14worn out carriage
00:12:15the carriage drove away from the shaw family's castle
00:12:20the carriage stopped
00:12:21i looked up
00:12:22an old run-down cottage stood before me
00:12:25the wooden door was full of cracks
00:12:27the window frames were broken too
00:12:29this was the home of the shaw family's outcast
00:12:34i was kicked out of the shaw family long ago
00:12:36i just worry that you'll look down on this place
00:12:38there was a hint of caution in his voice
00:12:40i shook my head and spoke softly
00:12:42i understand
00:12:45don't worry it's not a big deal
00:12:48something lit up in his eyes
00:12:49the cottage was simple but clean
00:12:52this was the house tyson's late mother had left behind
00:12:55i didn't have a comfortable life since childhood
00:12:57so i quickly got used to this place
00:12:59tyson helped me draw water
00:13:01and i took a bath in the wooden tub
00:13:03but after finishing
00:13:04i suddenly realized i had forgotten to bring my shift
00:13:08just then
00:13:09tyson's voice came from outside the door
00:13:11you don't have your shift do you
00:13:14open the door
00:13:15i'll hand it to you
00:13:17i took the shift through the door crack
00:13:20he didn't peek
00:13:21i changed and walked out of the bathroom
00:13:24i saw tyson taking off his clothes
00:13:27the scar on his waist caught my eye
00:13:30the location
00:13:31the shape
00:13:32exactly the same as that man from last night
00:13:36him
00:13:37could he be that man from that night
00:13:39you've been staring at me for so long
00:13:42are you satisfied with my body
00:13:43i snapped back to reality
00:13:45how could it be
00:13:45he definitely wasn't that man
00:13:50are we going to sleep together tonight
00:13:51my face instantly turned red

00:22:48when tyson calmly took out a silver white token

00:24:23dish after dish was brought out
00:24:26each one was as delicate as a work of art
00:24:30tyson scooped up a spoonful and brought it to my lips
00:24:34here try it
00:24:35i obediently opened my mouth
00:24:39the taste
00:24:39so delicious it made me want to cry

00:25:00he took out a ring with a shiny stone on it
00:25:04this is a wedding gift

00:25:06just a fake gemstone set in it
00:25:08when i have more money
00:25:09i'll get you a real one
00:25:11he took off the ring the shaw family
00:25:13had given me at the wedding
00:25:15and slipped this one onto my finger
00:25:19as long as it's from you
00:25:22i love it even if it's fake
00:25:25after i had eaten and drunk my fill
00:25:28wayne showed up again
00:25:30he pushed the door open and walked in
00:25:32looking annoyed
00:25:35didn't i just leave
00:25:36why did you call me back again
00:25:38the server handed over the bill
00:25:39wayne took it
00:25:41glanced at it
00:25:42and gasped
00:25:45this meal
00:25:47costs enough to buy a small estate
00:25:49my heart sank
00:25:50oh my god
00:25:51how much could this possibly be
00:25:53tyson kept a calm face
00:25:55he stood up
00:25:56walked over to wayne
00:25:57and whispered something to him
00:25:59i couldn't hear what he said
00:26:00put it on my tab
00:26:01don't let her hear
00:26:03wayne nodded and tucked the bill away
00:26:06um my carriage is still outside
00:26:08those leftovers of yours
00:26:11stained my custom carriage
00:26:13it's the only one in the city
00:26:15it's the only one in the city
00:26:16wayne complained looking pained
00:26:18tyson didn't even glance at him
00:26:20he just looked down at the ring on my finger
00:26:24his fingers gently traced the fake gemstone ring
00:26:28and the corners of his lips curled up slightly
00:26:32wayne drove us home
00:26:33the carriage jolted along the suburban road
00:26:36i looked down at the ring tyson had just put on my finger
00:26:39that fake gemstone sparkled in the sunlight
00:26:42wayne suddenly turned his head and stared at the ring on my finger
00:26:46his eyes wide open
00:26:48this ring
00:26:48is that a graph pink diamond
00:26:51the one from the auction
00:26:52the priceless one
00:26:54how is it on your finger
00:26:55priceless
00:26:57tymon said it was just an imitation set with fake gems
00:27:00wayne's expression froze
00:27:02he opened his mouth then closed it
00:27:04just a high quality imitation
00:27:06there are plenty of fakes on the market
00:27:08that look just like the real thing
00:27:10right right i remembered wrong
00:27:11an imitation
00:27:12a worthless imitation
00:27:14wayne laughed dryly
00:27:16and quickly turned his head back
00:27:17the tips of his ears turned red
00:27:19something felt off
00:27:20the looks on their faces
00:27:22like they were hiding a secret
00:27:23after we got home
00:27:25wayne followed us into the kitchen
00:27:27his eyes landed on that black burnt thing on the stove
00:27:30what's this?
00:27:31burnt charcoal?
00:27:32that was the dish tyson had made at noon
00:27:34it really didn't look appetizing
00:27:36not even a dog would eat this
00:27:38get out
00:27:40fine fine i'm going
00:27:44i won't disturb you lovebirds
00:27:45after wayne left
00:27:47the room fell silent
00:27:48tyson stood beside me and suddenly spoke
00:27:50is wayne cute?
00:27:52he was jealous
00:27:53of course my husband is the cutest
00:27:55he laughed
00:27:56the mask covered his face
00:27:58but i could see the smile in his eyes
00:28:00that smile
00:28:01the way his eyes curved
00:28:03the tilt of his lips
00:28:05why did it look so much like that man from that night?
00:28:09his voice was similar too
00:28:10and the scar on his waist
00:28:12but tyson was disfigured
00:28:14a weak and sickly outcast
00:28:16that man from that night was extraordinary handsome
00:28:19and generous with his wealth
00:28:20they were completely different
00:28:22what was i thinking?
00:28:23was i going to live in that man's shadow for the rest of my life?
00:28:26soon after
00:28:27i went to the evans earldom's tailor shop for my trial
00:28:32everyone praised my skill
00:28:35but as i walked out of the earldom
00:28:37my mind was on someone else
00:28:39flavia
00:28:39my nursemaid
00:28:40after my mother died
00:28:42she was the only one in the cane household
00:28:44who ever showed me warmth
00:28:46my stepmother mabel had her thrown out
00:28:48she lived alone in a run-down cottage
00:28:51on the outskirts of town
00:28:52mending clothes to get by
00:28:54i pushed the door open
00:28:55and barely recognized her
00:28:57she had lost so much weight
00:28:59her face was as pale as parchment
00:29:01her lips completely bloodless
00:29:04flavia
00:29:05why have you become so thin?
00:29:07cecilia
00:29:08what are you doing here?
00:29:10i'm fine
00:29:11just haven't had much of an appetite lately
00:29:12she smiled at me
00:29:14but there was an unspeakable pain
00:29:16hidden in that smile
00:29:17i was about to ask more
00:29:19when the door was suddenly kicked open
00:29:21three brutish men stormed in
00:29:23the one in front
00:29:25carried a wooden club
00:29:26and reeked of ale
00:29:28abbot baldwin

00:29:32abbot

00:29:44we'll cut off his hands
00:29:45as he spoke
00:29:47his eyes landed on me
00:29:48he looked me up and down
00:29:50and licked his lips
00:29:53well, well
00:29:56who's this pretty little thing?
00:29:58his hand reached for me
00:30:01don't touch her

00:30:05get lost
00:30:06get lost
00:30:07old hag
00:30:07he slapped flavia to the ground
00:30:09her head hit the door frame
00:30:11and she passed out instantly
00:30:13flavia
00:30:14i rushed over to help her
00:30:16the man grabbed my wrist
00:30:18his grip shockingly strong
00:30:20nice ring

00:30:25he tried to pull the ring off my finger
00:30:30let go of me
00:30:31my husband gave me this
00:30:33i kicked him between the legs
00:30:35he screamed and let go
00:30:39fuck
00:30:40this bitch kicked me
00:30:44hold her down
00:30:45the other two lunged at me
00:30:47and pinned me to the floor

00:30:53but i couldn't break free
00:30:54i'll have my way with you first
00:30:59then take your ring
00:31:00to pay off the debt
00:31:02his hand tore at my collar
00:31:04i turned my head away desperately
00:31:07tears streaming down my cheeks
00:31:09tyson
00:31:11tyson where are you?
00:31:13just then
00:31:14the door was kicked off its hinges
00:31:16tyson stood in the doorway
00:31:18the look in his eyes
00:31:19like he was ready to kill
00:31:21tyson rushed in
00:31:22grabbed the man on top of me
00:31:24by the collar
00:31:25and slammed his fist
00:31:26into the man's face
00:31:27the sound of bone cracking
00:31:30the man flew back
00:31:31and knocked over the table
00:31:32the other two tried to run
00:31:35tyson kicked them down
00:31:38one after another
00:31:40get out
00:31:43tell your master
00:31:44that if you come looking
00:31:45for trouble again
00:31:46none of you will leave
00:31:47this village alive
00:31:49the three men scrambled
00:31:51to their feet and fled
00:31:52tyson walked straight over to me
00:31:54reached out his hand
00:31:56and gently pulled me up
00:31:57from the ground
00:31:59the next moment
00:32:01he pulled me tightly
00:32:02into his arms
00:32:03his hands were trembling
00:32:06i'm late
00:32:07i'm sorry
00:32:08he buried his face
00:32:10in my hair
00:32:11his voice muffled
00:32:13i shouldn't have let you
00:32:15come alone
00:32:16i held tyson tightly
00:32:18and was about to speak
00:32:19when i suddenly thought
00:32:20of my nursemaid
00:32:23flavia
00:32:24flavia passed out
00:32:25tyson let me go
00:32:26and knelt down
00:32:27to check on flavia
00:32:28he felt her pulse
00:32:30his brow furrowed
00:32:33we need to find a healer
00:32:34i'll send for one
00:32:35stay calm
00:32:36he left for a while
00:32:39soon returned
00:32:40and brought a healer
00:32:42with him
00:32:44the old healer
00:32:45checked flavia's
00:32:46eyes and tongue
00:32:47his expression
00:32:48growing darker
00:32:49and darker
00:32:51this woman's
00:32:52internal organs
00:32:53are failing
00:32:54toxins have built up
00:32:56deep inside her
00:32:58this is a long-standing
00:32:59illness that
00:33:00has been left
00:33:01too long
00:33:02can she be cured
00:33:03only the royal physician
00:33:05in the capital
00:33:06can prepare
00:33:06the life-saving decoction
00:33:08followed by holy water
00:33:09from the cathedral
00:33:10but that medicine alone
00:33:12costs 500 gold coins
00:33:13and even then
00:33:15recovery is not guaranteed
00:33:17500 gold coins
00:33:18500 gold coins again
00:33:22i asked tyson to look
00:33:23after flavia
00:33:24and ran to the nearest
00:33:25apothecary to pay for
00:33:26the consultation
00:33:29i took out the coin pouch
00:33:30tyson had given me

00:34:56flavia
00:34:56we left the cottage
00:34:59the setting sun
00:35:00stretched our shadows
00:35:01long
00:35:02i stole a glance
00:35:04at tyson's profile
00:35:05the mask
00:35:06hid his expression
00:35:07but his eyes
00:35:09always so deep
00:35:12how many more secrets

00:35:16five hundred gold coins

00:35:29he was silent
00:35:31for a moment
00:35:31then nodded
00:35:33how did you manage
00:35:34to take down
00:35:35those bastards today
00:35:36rumor said tyson
00:35:37was weak and sickly
00:35:39but the way he fought
00:35:40just now
00:35:41he didn't seem
00:35:42that way at all
00:35:43seeing you being bullied
00:35:45i was filled with strength
00:35:47i don't know
00:35:48where it came from

00:35:56late at night
00:35:57tyson was already asleep
00:35:59i sat by the bed
00:36:01looking at the two rings
00:36:02on my finger
00:36:02one was the ring
00:36:04the shaw family
00:36:05gave me at the wedding
00:36:06though valuable
00:36:07it carried no sentiment
00:36:08the other was from tyson
00:36:10he said it was set
00:36:12with a fake gem
00:36:13fake or real
00:36:14i could never sell it
00:36:15this was tyson's gift
00:36:17from the heart
00:36:17then the only option
00:36:18was to sell
00:36:19the shaw family's ring
00:36:20i quietly got up
00:36:22and dug out
00:36:23the shaw family's ring
00:36:24from the chest
00:36:27clutching it in my palm
00:36:29first thing tomorrow morning
00:36:30i'll go to the pawn shop
00:36:32for flavia
00:36:34this ring has to go
00:36:35i was about to put the ring away
00:36:37when a knock came at the door
00:36:39who would come at this hour
00:36:43tyson threw on a coat
00:36:44and opened the door
00:36:45a messenger stood at the doorstep
00:36:47holding a letter sealed with wax
00:36:49is this lady cane
00:36:50a letter from lady brea duffy
00:36:52daughter of the marquis
00:36:54i took the letter
00:36:55and broke the seal
00:36:58in the letter
00:36:59brea said she had seen
00:37:00my tailoring skills
00:37:02and was very satisfied
00:37:03she wanted me to come
00:37:05to the marquis
00:37:06of semshi's estate
00:37:07and become her personal tailor
00:37:09she offered double the pay
00:37:12double?
00:37:13then maybe there's hope
00:37:15for flavia's medicine
00:37:16what's wrong?
00:37:18who's the letter from?
00:37:19lady brea duffy
00:37:20daughter of the marquis
00:37:23she wants me to be
00:37:24her personal tailor
00:37:25isn't that good news?
00:37:27what's still troubling you?
00:37:29i always feel that
00:37:30something is off
00:37:32how would brea know my name?
00:37:34and how does she know my skills?
00:37:38don't overthink it
00:37:39tyson put his arm around me
00:37:41and led me into the room
00:37:42i turned to look at his profile
00:37:45i felt like this had something
00:37:46to do with him
00:37:47but when i thought about it
00:37:48carefully
00:37:49it seemed impossible
00:37:50he was just a cast off
00:37:51from the shaw family
00:37:52how could he have such influence?
00:37:55the next morning
00:37:56i followed the address
00:37:57in the letter
00:37:57and arrived at the most
00:37:58mysterious estate
00:38:00the semshi family grounds
00:38:02the mansion before me
00:38:03was even more magnificent
00:38:05than the evans earldom
00:38:06ivy climbed the high stone walls
00:38:09and two rows of sword-bearing guards
00:38:11stood at the gate
00:38:12i had just stepped into the hall
00:38:14when i heard a woman's sharp angry voice
00:38:26a young woman stood in the center of the hall
00:38:29wearing an ornate gown
00:38:30but the embroidery on it was tacky and bulky
00:38:33and the gems on the hem were piled so densely
00:38:36that they completely ruined her figure
00:38:37who can fix it?
00:38:39who?
00:38:40if it's not fixed by today
00:38:41all of you are fired!
00:38:44the tailors and maids around her
00:38:45all lowered their heads
00:38:47no one dared to speak
00:38:48i stared at the gown for a few seconds
00:38:51the image of how to fix it
00:38:53was already forming in my mind
00:38:56let me try
00:38:57rhea heard my voice
00:38:58and turned to look at me
00:38:59who are you?
00:39:00wayne stepped out from the crowd
00:39:02looking surprised
00:39:03he recognized me
00:39:04what are you doing here?
00:39:06you know her?

00:39:20offend her and no one can protect you
00:39:22i glanced at wayne
00:39:23and didn't stop
00:39:24rhea stood before the mirror

00:39:27waiting to see what i would do
00:39:29i raised the scissors
00:39:30and aimed them at the large
00:39:32tacky flower
00:39:33embroidered on the gown's
00:39:34collar
00:39:35everyone held their breath
00:39:37i cut off the tacky embroidery
00:39:39cleanly
00:39:39the fabric wasn't damaged at all
00:39:43you...
00:39:43she was about to explode
00:39:44when i crouched down
00:39:46removed the gems from the hem
00:39:48one by one
00:39:49and sewed them back onto the bodice
00:39:51and waist

00:39:54a thin one?
00:39:56yes yes
00:39:58i took the belt
00:39:59and tied it around rhea's waist
00:40:00cinching her figure
00:40:03done

00:40:05she turned
00:40:06and faced the mirror
00:40:07she froze
00:40:08this...
00:40:09this is me?
00:40:11the tacky flower was gone
00:40:12replaced by elegantly placed gems
00:40:15that accentuated her full chest
00:40:17and slender waist
00:40:18the hem had become a fishtail shape
00:40:20that swayed like waves
00:40:22when she walked
00:40:24it's gorgeous
00:40:25how did you do that?
00:40:28rhea looked at herself
00:40:29in the mirror with delight
00:40:30then turned and sized me up
00:40:33with satisfaction for a moment
00:40:34from today on

00:41:04let's see who can stop me today
00:41:06wayne's expression changed
00:41:08at the mention of reyes
00:41:09a strange smile slowly spread
00:41:12across his face
00:41:12fine
00:41:14i'll let her go
00:41:15take her
00:41:18that's more like it
00:41:19i looked at wayne in confusion
00:41:21he had been so resistant
00:41:23moments ago
00:41:24why did he suddenly agree?
00:41:26wayne winked at me
00:41:28and lowered his voice
00:41:29enjoy your time
00:41:30at the semshi estate
00:41:31he turned and walked away
00:41:33his shoulders trembling slightly
00:41:35he was holding back laughter
00:41:38what was he laughing at?
00:41:40this is gonna be interesting
00:41:42tyson's wife is going to tyson's estate
00:41:45brea couldn't stop praising the gown i altered

00:41:56brea had prepared a deep blue gown for me
00:41:59and dressed me up from head to toe
00:42:01the banquet hall was magnificent
00:42:03the chandeliers sparkling in the candlelight
00:42:05noble ladies in their finest gowns
00:42:08vied with one another for attention
00:42:10just then
00:42:10the doors of the hall opened
00:42:12brea walked in wearing the gown i had altered
00:42:14the entire room fell silent for a moment
00:42:17every eye was on her
00:42:19who is that?
00:42:21she's stunning
00:42:22who made that gown?
00:42:23i've never seen that style before

00:42:46i jumped off the carriage
00:42:48before it had even stopped
00:42:49the cottage was lit
00:42:51but the shadows in the window
00:42:52didn't look like just one person
00:42:54i pushed the door open
00:42:55and saw a mess
00:42:56cabinets were overturned
00:42:58clothes scattered everywhere
00:42:59flavia was huddled in the corner
00:43:01and abbott was stepping on her hymn
00:43:03demanding money

00:43:48his face twisted with rage
00:43:51he raised his fist and swung it at my face
00:43:53i had no time to dodge
00:43:55all i could do was close my eyes
00:43:57the fist never landed
00:43:58i opened my eyes
00:43:59a hand had caught abbott's wrist firmly
00:44:02tyson stood behind abbott
00:44:05his mask glinted coldly in the candle light
00:44:08his eyes murderous
00:44:10you
00:44:12you again
00:44:12tyson didn't give abbott a second chance
00:44:16he slammed his fist into abbott's face
00:44:19and blood sprayed from his nose
00:44:22stop
00:44:24tyson picked him up and punched him in the gut again
00:44:28abbott doubled over
00:44:29kneeling on the floor

00:44:32touch her again
00:44:34and i break your legs
00:44:36i won't
00:44:36i'll never do it again
00:44:38abbott scrambled to his feet
00:44:40his face covered in blood
00:44:42and fled
00:44:42i didn't have time to think about tyson
00:44:45i rushed over and helped flevia up
00:44:49her lips were purple
00:44:50her breathing rapid and shallow
00:44:52like a bellows
00:44:53flavia
00:44:54hold on
00:44:55the healer will be here soon
00:44:57cecilia
00:44:58i'm fine
00:45:00don't worry
00:45:02tyson immediately went to fetch a healer
00:45:05the healer arrived quickly
00:45:07he applied acupuncture to flavia
00:45:09and made her drink a bowl of herbal medicine
00:45:11her breathing gradually steadied
00:45:14her illness has been left too long
00:45:16you must take her to the capital as soon as possible
00:45:19the royal physician must prepare the medicine
00:45:22followed by holy water from the cathedral
00:45:24otherwise
00:45:26otherwise what
00:45:27otherwise
00:45:28i'm afraid she won't last three months
00:45:32the healer's words hit me
00:45:34like a bucket of cold water
00:45:35three months
00:45:36flavia had only three months left
00:45:38five hundred gold coins
00:45:40i couldn't even scrape together fifty
00:45:42where was i supposed to find that much money
00:45:44if flavia died
00:45:46it would be my fault
00:45:47because i had no money to save her
00:45:49tyson didn't say a word
00:45:50he took out another coin pouch from his cloak
00:45:53and placed it on the table
00:45:54is this enough
00:45:56the healer opened the pouch
00:45:57and his eyes widened
00:45:59enough
00:45:59i'll go prepare the medicine right away
00:46:02i looked at the pouch
00:46:04then at typhon
00:46:04gold coins
00:46:05again
00:46:06heavy
00:46:07at least a hundred of them
00:46:08tyson
00:46:09tell me
00:46:10where is all this gold really coming from
00:46:12he didn't answer
00:46:13again he didn't answer
00:46:15a surge of anger rose in my chest
00:46:17i couldn't hold it in any longer
00:46:19tyson
00:46:20shaw
00:46:21how many things are you hiding from me
00:46:24where does your money really come from
00:46:25my voice trembled
00:46:27tears fell despite myself
00:46:29i work my fingers to bone every day
00:46:32and i still can't afford the medicine
00:46:34and you
00:46:35you pull out this much gold like it's nothing
00:46:38but you won't tell me anything
00:46:40i'm your wife
00:46:42won't you give me even one truthful word
00:46:45tyson stood there
00:46:46motionless
00:46:47his eyes behind the mask were like cracked ice
00:46:50after a long silence
00:46:52tyson finally spoke
00:46:54a while back
00:46:55i invested in a friend's business
00:46:57made some money
00:46:59his voice was calm
00:47:00but something felt off
00:47:02whenever he lied
00:47:05he never looked me in the eye
00:47:06i didn't ask again
00:47:08after flavia took the medicine
00:47:10her complexion improved a little
00:47:13she leaned against the pillow
00:47:15held my hand
00:47:16and seemed as if she wanted to say something
00:47:18flavia
00:47:19don't talk
00:47:20just focus on getting better
00:47:21tyson stood by the window
00:47:23his back to us
00:47:24the firelight stretched his shadow long
00:47:26cc

00:47:34the next morning
00:47:36i put on a clean dress
00:47:37and arrived at semshi family estate
00:47:40the tall iron gates slowly opened
00:47:44i took a deep breath and walked inside
00:47:47from today on
00:47:48i am the personal tailor of the semshi family
00:47:50but i had a strange feeling
00:47:51i felt like i had seen this luxurious estate before
00:47:54and the master of this place
00:47:56nolan reyes
00:47:57his name sounded so familiar
00:47:59yet i couldn't remember where i had heard it
00:48:01bria dragged me around the castle
00:48:03this is the semshi family's estate
00:48:06see that tallest tower over there
00:48:08that's lord nolan reyes's study
00:48:10this lord is very mysterious
00:48:12he almost never shows himself
00:48:14even i've only met him two or three times
00:48:16nolan reyes
00:48:17the name made my heart tighten
00:48:18bria i think i should leave first
00:48:20what's the rush
00:48:21i haven't finished showing you around
00:48:24just as we were talking
00:48:25a servant came running up

00:48:32i'll take you to meet him
00:48:33i'd rather not
00:48:34what are you afraid of
00:48:35come with me
00:48:36bria dragged me through the corridor
00:48:38to a heavy oak door
00:48:40the brass handles were polished to a shine
00:48:43my heart was pounding for no reason
00:48:47lord reyes only summoned lady duffy
00:48:49this lady please wait outside
00:48:51wait for me out here
00:48:53i'll be quick
00:48:59the door closed
00:49:00i stood in the corridor
00:49:02my palms sweaty
00:49:04i stood in the corridor
00:49:05looking at the luxurious decor around me
00:49:08famous paintings hung on the walls
00:49:10and hand-woven rugs covered the floor
00:49:12every piece was priceless
00:49:15i couldn't help my curiosity
00:49:17i peeked through the slightly open door
00:49:19behind the desk sat a tall figure in a dark robe
00:49:22his presence was imposing
00:49:24i didn't dare look any longer
00:49:26and quickly pulled back
00:49:28after about 15 minutes
00:49:30brea came out
00:49:32lord reyes was in a good mood today
00:49:34but he said he was busy
00:49:36and didn't have time to see you
00:49:37next time
00:49:39i breathed a sigh of relief
00:49:41then let's go
00:49:44the carriage left the castle
00:49:46and traveled slowly along the suburban road
00:49:50uria suddenly stared at my hand
00:49:54isn't this the graph pink diamond
00:49:56i saw it at the auction
00:50:00who exactly is your husband
00:50:02how can he afford this
00:50:06it's a high quality imitation
00:50:08my husband bought it to make me happy
00:50:11it's not worth much
00:50:12brea looked at the ring skeptically for a long while
00:50:15but didn't ask any more questions
00:50:18in the evening
00:50:19i returned to the cottage
00:50:22tyson had already made dinner
00:50:33the food still didn't taste good
00:50:35but i ate happily
00:50:37did you see reyes at the semshi estate today
00:50:41no
00:50:41he's very mysterious
00:50:43he only summoned
00:50:44maria
00:50:45i heard he almost never shows himself
00:50:49tyson put down his utensils
00:50:51and looked at me seriously
00:50:55i've heard that reyes
00:50:56has a bad reputation
00:50:58his temper is strange
00:51:00stay away from him
00:51:02avoid contact as much as you can
00:51:05all right
00:51:06i'll remember
00:51:08his tone was strange
00:51:10like he was nervous about something
00:51:12i looked at the metal mask he wore
00:51:17candlelight flickered on its surface
00:51:19hiding all his expressions
00:51:22why do you always wear that mask
00:51:24tyson
00:51:25i am your wife
00:51:27even if you are disfigured i don't care
00:51:31in front of me
00:51:32you can take off the mask
00:51:34he fell silent
00:51:36the air suddenly grew very quiet
00:51:40leaving only the crackling of the fire
00:51:42give me some time cc
00:51:43i thought for a moment then nodded
00:51:46i could understand him
00:51:48after dinner i carried some hot water to bathe
00:51:50the washroom was simple
00:51:52with a few wet spots on the stone floor
00:51:54but my mind was full of the day's events
00:51:56reyes's mystery
00:51:57tyson's warning
00:51:58and that ring
00:51:58reya had mistaken for something priceless
00:52:00lost in thought
00:52:01my foot slipped
00:52:03i crashed hard onto the floor
00:52:06my knee hit the stone slab
00:52:08scraping the skin and drawing blood
00:52:12i gasped at the pain
00:52:15i tried to stand
00:52:16but my knee wouldn't hold
00:52:18cc what's wrong
00:52:19nothing
00:52:20i'm fine
00:52:21but i couldn't get up at all
00:52:23he didn't hesitate
00:52:24he kicked the door open
00:52:25i sat on the floor
00:52:27blood trickling from my knee
00:52:29both ashamed and embarrassed
00:52:31without a word
00:52:32he took off his coat
00:52:33wrapped it around me
00:52:34and lifted me in his arms
00:52:40tyson gently placed me on the bed
00:52:43he turned to fetch the medicine chest
00:52:45and crouched by the bedside
00:52:47he carefully cleaned my wound
00:52:51his movements were even more meticulous
00:52:53than the healers in town
00:52:54i looked at his profile
00:52:55the mask covered most of it
00:52:57but his eyes and lips were distinct
00:52:59filled with nothing but concern for me
00:53:01as he applied the medicine
00:53:02i flinched and accidentally
00:53:04knocked over the bottle of medicinal wine
00:53:06on the bedside table
00:53:07the coat wrapped around me slipped off
00:53:09i was almost naked again
00:53:11i hurriedly tried to cover myself
00:53:12don't be afraid
00:53:14in my eyes you're beautiful no matter what
00:53:17he lowered his head
00:53:19and kissed my lips
00:53:23i closed my eyes
00:53:25and wrapped my arms around his neck
00:53:28his hands gently traced my back
00:53:31the atmosphere grew more and more intense
00:53:34suddenly urgent knocking came from outside the door
00:53:40who is it
00:53:43an urgent letter sent by sir briar
00:53:45tyson frowned
00:53:47threw on his coat
00:53:49and went to open the door
00:53:53the messenger handed him a letter sealed with wax
00:53:56tyson broke the seal
00:53:58and his expression darkened
00:54:01cc
00:54:02i have some urgent business
00:54:03i have to go handle it
00:54:04you go to sleep first
00:54:05don't wait for me
00:54:06he bent down
00:54:07kissed my forehead
00:54:08and left in a hurry
00:54:11i lay alone in bed
00:54:13my thoughts
00:54:14a tangled mess
00:54:15tyson's skill
00:54:16against abbott
00:54:17rumors said he was weak and sickly
00:54:19but when he fought
00:54:20he was fiercer than anyone
00:54:22he could produce large sums of gold coins
00:54:25without a second thought
00:54:26and these urgent matters
00:54:28that called him away late at night
00:54:31what were they
00:54:31this man who seemed poor and frail
00:54:34how many secrets was he hiding
00:54:35i tossed and turned
00:54:37finally drifting off towards dawn
00:54:40in my haze
00:54:41i felt someone lie down gently beside me
00:54:44and pull me into an embrace
00:54:46i didn't open my eyes
00:54:47but i recognized the familiar scent
00:54:50tyson had returned
00:54:52the next morning when i woke up
00:54:54tyson was already gone
00:54:55a note was left on the table
00:54:57breakfast is in the pot
00:54:58i've gone to work
00:54:59after breakfast
00:55:01i headed to semshi castle for work
00:55:03as soon as i stepped through the gate
00:55:05i saw sarissa coming toward me
00:55:08with a few noble ladies
00:55:09oh isn't this my substitute bride sister
00:55:12i heard you married that shaw family loser
00:55:15the ladies around her covered their mouths
00:55:18and snickered
00:55:18what your husband can't support you
00:55:21so you have to work
00:55:22at least i earn my own bread
00:55:24with my own hands
00:55:25unlike some people
00:55:26who only live off their father
00:55:27and mother's charity
00:55:31you
00:55:33sarissa's face twisted with rage
00:55:35she raised her hand to strike
00:55:37stop
00:55:38a sharp cry came from behind
00:55:40bria was walking down the stairs
00:55:45glaring coldly at sarissa
00:55:50sarissa
00:55:50sarissa
00:55:51you listen to me clearly
00:55:57cecilia is now my personal tailor
00:55:58and a tailor of the semshi family
00:56:00if you dare cause trouble
00:56:02on my territory
00:56:03you're insulting me
00:56:05and you're insulting lord reyes
00:56:07sarina's face turned purple
00:56:08her lips trembled
00:56:10but she didn't dare say another word
00:56:12let's go
00:56:13She shot me a vicious glare, then turned and slunk away with her entourage.
00:56:21Ignore her. I've seen plenty of women like that.
00:56:26Thank you, Brea.
00:56:28It's nothing.
00:56:29By the way, I have important news.
00:56:33Lord Reyes is holding a tailoring competition.
00:56:36The winner will become the Lord's personal tailor, and the prize money is very generous.
00:56:41My eyes lit up. Flavia's condition was stabilized for now, but she would still need a large sum for her
00:56:47continued recovery and care.
00:56:49This prize money came at exactly the right time.
00:56:52I'll enter.
00:56:55I knew you'd say that.
00:57:00Tomorrow, I'll take you to see the competition rules.
00:57:03Lord Reyes is holding a tailoring competition. All tailors of the Semchi family can take part.
00:57:07You have three days to present your work, and the Lord himself will judge.
00:57:11My heart raced with excitement, but I also hesitated.
00:57:14I had just started this job. Would standing out too much cause trouble?
00:57:19Tyson had always told me to keep a low profile.
00:57:23I sent a messenger to Tyson with a letter,
00:57:27asking for his advice.
00:57:29In the evening, Tyson's reply arrived, just one sentence.
00:57:34Do what you want to do. I will always support you.
00:57:38I looked at those few short words, and a smile rose to my lips.
00:57:43I'll take part.
00:57:45What I didn't know was that Sarissa had learned of my participation through her spies.
00:57:50She wants to win in her dreams.
00:57:54I've already bribed the judges.
00:57:56This time, I'll destroy her reputation.
00:57:59Over the next two days, I threw myself into preparing for the competition.
00:58:03During the day, I picked out fabrics and cut sample garments in the tailor shop.
00:58:09At night, I went back to the cottage, and continued working by lamplight.
00:58:15Take a rest.
00:58:17You've been at this for two days straight.
00:58:20I'm fine.
00:58:22This is something I love doing.
00:58:26He didn't try to stop me again.
00:58:29He just quietly brought me a bowl of hot soup.
00:58:32On the third day, I finally finished my work,
00:58:35a noble's robe that blended classical and simple styles.
00:58:39I was very satisfied with my design.
00:58:42I carefully wrapped the finished robe, ready to present it the next day.
00:58:51Late at night, I fell into a deep sleep.
00:58:57Outside the window, a dark figure slipped quietly into the tailor shop.
00:59:04The next morning, I arrived early at the tailor shop, ready to present my work.
00:59:09I opened the cabinet, where I had stored my finished robe, and froze.
00:59:15My robe had been cut to shreds, and ink had been poured all over the fabric.
00:59:19I crouched down.
00:59:21My fingers trembling as they touched the torn fabric.
00:59:24My eyes grew red.
00:59:27Who did this?
00:59:28This is too much.
00:59:31Bria heard the news and rushed over.
00:59:34When she saw the scene, her face turned dark.
00:59:39Who did this?
00:59:41No one answered.
00:59:42I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down.
00:59:45I remembered the look in Sarissa's eyes that day.
00:59:48I already knew who it was.
00:59:50There was still half a day left before I had to present my work.
00:59:56There's still time.
00:59:58I'll make another one.
01:00:00Bria managed to get me an extension of half a day.
01:00:03I worked without sleep, rushing to make a new robe in the tailor shop.
01:00:08Bria stayed by my side, helping me.
01:00:36Bria stayed by my side, helping me.
01:00:37I clenched my jaw.
01:00:40I clenched my jaw.
01:00:40The needle and thread in my hands never stopped.
01:00:44Late at night, I finally finished a brand new robe.
01:00:48Even better than the previous one, with a bolder design.
01:00:55I was so exhausted I could barely stand.
01:00:58But there was a light in my eyes.
01:01:01This one is even better than the last.
01:01:03If Sarissa finds out, she'll be furious.
01:01:10I presented my finished robe to the panel of judges.
01:01:14They examined it carefully, nodding in praise.
01:01:17Clean cutting, innovative style.
01:01:20The fabric pairing is also just right.
01:01:23I stepped aside and waited for the result.
01:01:28Sarissa arrived with a few noble ladies.
01:01:31She wasn't here to take part.
01:01:33She was here to watch me fail.
01:01:37When she saw me standing there unharmed,
01:01:39her expression shifted slightly.
01:01:42But then she sneered again.
01:01:44Even if I had made a new one,
01:01:45the judges were already bribed.
01:01:47I wouldn't win.
01:01:48The panel of judges went into an inner chamber to deliberate.
01:01:56I waited nervously.
01:01:58Fifteen minutes later,
01:01:59the head judge stepped out
01:02:01and announced in a loud voice.
01:02:04The winner of this tailoring competition is...
01:02:07The winner of this tailoring competition is...
01:02:11Cecilia Cain!
01:02:14I froze.
01:02:15Me?
01:02:18Impossible!
01:02:19She has no talent at all!
01:02:22She cheated!
01:02:24Cerissa's face went pale.
01:02:26She jumped to her feet and shrieked.
01:02:29We have received Lord Reyes' personal ruling.
01:02:32He believes Cecilia's design is the finest among all the entries.
01:02:36Are you questioning Lord Reyes?
01:02:41Cerissa was speechless.
01:02:42She slunk away.
01:02:46Cece, hold out your hand.
01:02:48Borea stared at the ring on my finger,
01:02:50examining it carefully,
01:02:51her expression serious.
01:02:56My mother adores jewels.
01:02:58Our family has a collection of rare pieces.
01:03:00I'm certain this ring is real.
01:03:02It's the legendary pink diamond.
01:03:04Are you really sure?
01:03:06That's impossible!
01:03:07I'm very sure!
01:03:11Doubt rose in my heart,
01:03:13but...
01:03:14I quickly convinced myself.
01:03:16Tyson wasn't wealthy.
01:03:17How could he afford a real diamond?
01:03:20It had to be an imitation,
01:03:21just very well made.
01:03:26Cece, who exactly is your husband?
01:03:29What does he do?
01:03:30His name is Tyson Shaw.
01:03:32He's from the Shaw family.
01:03:33He mainly makes a living delivering messages
01:03:36and driving carriages.
01:03:38I know Tyson!
01:03:40He's that young man who was disfigured in a carriage accident
01:03:44and kicked out of the Shaw family.
01:03:50I heard he was once engaged to a lady from the Carter family in Philando.
01:03:54After the accident, she called it off.
01:03:56But I can understand.
01:03:58Who would want to marry such a loser?
01:04:01Tyson's really pitiful.
01:04:04I'm sorry.
01:04:05I said too much.
01:04:07It's fine.
01:04:08Tyson was engaged before?
01:04:10No one had ever mentioned it to me.
01:04:13Why did you marry him?
01:04:15His reputation is so bad.
01:04:17I didn't want to lie,
01:04:19but I couldn't tell the truth either.
01:04:22He's not like the rumors say.
01:04:24I'm very happy now.
01:04:27All right.
01:04:28But speaking of which...
01:04:33You won the tailoring competition,
01:04:35and the Lord has specifically asked to see you.
01:04:39See me?
01:04:41An uneasy feeling crept into my heart.
01:04:44Meanwhile, in the study at the top of the castle,
01:04:47Tyson, no, Lord Nolan Reyes, was alone,
01:04:51looking through the parchment roster of new employees.
01:04:54Because I had told him my name was Sarissa Kane,
01:04:57he searched the roster for that name.
01:04:59But he searched the entire roster and found no such person.
01:05:03He frowned and flipped through the pages again.
01:05:05Still nothing.
01:05:06Suspicion grew in his heart.
01:05:08Why wasn't his wife on the roster?
01:05:09Unless she wasn't called Sarissa.
01:05:11He scanned the names line by line.
01:05:12When his eyes fell on the name starting with C,
01:05:14one name jumped out at him.
01:05:16Cecilia Kane.
01:05:17His gaze locked onto that name.
01:05:20Cecilia Kane.
01:05:21So that's your name.
01:05:22Just then,
01:05:24Brea pulled me to a stop right outside the study door.
01:05:28Steward Emmett told us to wait,
01:05:30then pushed the door open and went in to announce us.
01:05:33My lord,
01:05:34the lady has been brought.
01:05:36Shall I let her in now?
01:05:37Tyson put down the roster.
01:05:40He reached up and slowly removed the metal mask from his face,
01:05:45revealing extraordinarily handsome features.
01:05:53Let her in.
01:05:57The door opened.
01:06:03I took a deep breath and walked inside.
