00:00My girlfriend had just come back after drinking with her male best friend,
00:03and the moment she walked through the door, we got into a huge argument.
00:06Did you sleep with your best friend? Break up with me and get out right now.
00:10Lily froze in shock. She covered her flushed face and stared at me with her bloodshot eyes.
00:15That's not what happened, Ethan. Do you really think I'm that kind of person?
00:19I glared at her angrily. You two spend every day together.
00:22What do you expect me to believe? You keep saying nothing happened, but where's the proof?
00:26Lily continued staring at me. She was furious, but she was also clearly drunk.
00:30Fine. You want proof, right? I'll prove it to you tonight.
00:33We stayed awake until morning, but she still couldn't give me a proper answer.
00:37The next day, I blocked and deleted her without hesitation.
00:40Honestly, only an idiot would keep loving a woman who had a male best friend she was practically inseparable from.
00:46Around midnight, Lily suddenly pushed open the door to my house.
00:50I was sitting alone on the sofa beneath the dim light outside the main entrance,
00:53my long shadow stretching across the floor. The moment Lily saw me, she stopped in her tracks,
00:58and a hint of panic flashed across her beautiful eyes.
01:01It's already this late. Why are you still awake?
01:04Lily was wearing a pink mini skirt, and the smell of alcohol was still faintly clinging to her.
01:09As soon as our eyes met, she subconsciously looked away, quickly hung up her bag, and hurried toward the bathroom.
01:15You still smell like alcohol. I'll take a shower first.
01:18Before she could say anything else, the bathroom door slammed shut.
01:21Meanwhile, my phone still had the pictures Ryan had sent me earlier.
01:24They were provocative photos of the two of them drinking together while their friends encouraged them,
01:28and the way they looked at each other seemed far too familiar.
01:32Ryan had even told her that I was too boring, and that only he could make her happy.
01:36At that moment, I suddenly realized the horrifying truth.
01:39Oh God. I had somehow entered the world of a book, and I wasn't even the main character.
01:45I was just a side character.
01:47Lily and her male best friend Ryan were the actual protagonists of this story.
01:50The moment I realized what kind of ridiculous drama I had been dragged into,
01:55I felt like I was going to lose my mind.
01:57According to the story, the original owner of this body was the CEO of the Lee group,
02:02and had been Lily's true love.
02:04They had been together for three years without even becoming physically intimate,
02:08but Lily had gradually stopped caring about him.
02:10Her best friend constantly invited her out, and she eventually became close to Ryan,
02:14the male lead of the story.
02:15After that, she started coming home late at night,
02:18and drinking became a regular part of her life.
02:20The original owner of this body had begged her repeatedly,
02:23practically begging her to change, but none of it ever affected Lily.
02:26She always had an excuse ready.
02:28It's not what you think.
02:29He's just my best friend.
02:31My friends asked me to come.
02:32Can you stop overthinking everything?
02:34I just like the atmosphere outside.
02:36Don't worry, I won't talk to those guys.
02:38Things only got worse when Ryan started appearing all over Lily's social media.
02:42Every few days, the original owner would lose his temper,
02:44and Lily gradually became annoyed with him.
02:47Can't you be a little less narrow-minded?
02:49I haven't even talked to him.
02:50He's just a friend, and I barely even know him.
02:53Fine, I'll come home and explain everything.
02:55Please, Ethan, if you're going to think like this, there's nothing I can do.
02:58Despite everything that had happened,
03:00the original owner still refused to give up on the relationship.
03:03To make matters even worse, the two of them eventually got married,
03:06and just as expected, Lily cheated on her husband
03:09and became pregnant with Ryan's child,
03:11while the original owner remained completely in the dark.
03:14He raised the child without ever questioning it,
03:16and even planned to leave the child the entire Lee family fortune.
03:20It was only later that he discovered the child wasn't his.
03:23The truth completely broke him.
03:24He suffered a massive attack and was rushed to the hospital.
03:28Lily confronted him and screamed,
03:29Ethan, if you hadn't forced me to marry you,
03:32how could I have stayed in a relationship with Ryan all these years?
03:35Ethan, you're truly disgusting.
03:37You deserve this.
03:38The original owner died consumed by anger and despair?
03:41Seriously, only someone completely insane could write a drama like this.
03:45After reading all of it,
03:46I spent a long time cursing and muttering to myself
03:48before finally opening my eyes and coming back to reality.
03:52Just then, Lily's phone suddenly rang near the entrance.
03:55I immediately knew who it was.
03:56It had to be that pathetic Ryan.
03:58I picked up the phone, and sure enough, it was him.
04:01Sister Lily.
04:02His voice sounded weak and pitiful on the other end.
04:04I drank too much.
04:05My stomach really hurts.
04:07Sister Lily, could you come over and take care of me?
04:08I laughed.
04:09If you're sick, go to the hospital.
04:11Stop acting.
04:12You're pathetic.
04:13The man on the other end went completely silent for several seconds.
04:16Then he dropped the act and spoke in a smug, mocking tone.
04:19You're Lily's cowardly boyfriend, right?
04:21Lily secretly told me that you two have been together for three years,
04:24and she still hasn't even let you touch her.
04:26As a man, I honestly feel sorry for you.
04:28What he said wasn't exactly wrong,
04:30and for a moment, I actually felt sorry for the original owner.
04:34But instead of getting angry, I laughed.
04:36You pathetic bastard.
04:38You should actually be happy about it.
04:40Tonight, I'm going to have a very deep conversation with your sister Lily.
04:43Want me to record it and send you the video?
04:45The breathing on the other end immediately became heavier,
04:48and his voice rose in panic.
04:50Ethan, how dare you?
04:51Sister Lily would never let you do something like that.
04:54Oh, really?
04:55I thought quietly as I walked toward the bathroom door.
04:58Then I deliberately made sure he could hear the sound of running water coming from inside.
05:02Your sister Lily is taking a shower right now.
05:04Guess what I'm about to do?
05:05What?
05:06What are you trying to do?
05:07I'm warning you.
05:08Don't do anything stupid.
05:10Panic was obvious in Ryan's voice.
05:11He probably never expected me to be completely different from the man he knew.
05:15In his mind, I should have been weak, furious, and drowning in unbearable pain right now.
05:20But instead, I was calmly standing outside the bathroom,
05:23and that seemed to scare him more than anything else.
05:25What am I going to do?
05:26I deliberately lowered my voice and spoke with a mocking tone.
05:30Obviously, I'm going to exercise my rights as your boyfriend.
05:33Why?
05:33Didn't anyone ever teach you that?
05:35Please, Ethan.
05:36You're disgusting.
05:37Ryan completely lost his temper on the other end of the phone and started cursing like crazy.
05:41I immediately hung up, deleted his number, and blocked him.
05:44Then I quietly put Lily's phone back into her bag as if nothing had happened.
05:48The sound of running water from the bathroom gradually stopped.
05:51A moment later, I heard the lock click, and Lily walked out wrapped in a towel, drying her wet hair.
05:56The steam had made her cheeks look even rosier, and tiny drops of water still clung to her skin.
06:01She avoided my eyes and instinctively tried to ignore me.
06:04Ethan, I'm done showering.
06:05I'm really tired tonight.
06:07You should go to sleep too.
06:08She tried to walk past me, but I slapped her across the face and immediately placed the photo Ryan had
06:12sent me in front of her.
06:13In the picture, the two of them were drinking from the same cup.
06:16Tired?
06:16You seemed pretty energetic earlier tonight when you were drinking from the same cup with your male best friend.
06:21Lily covered her face, her eyes widening in disbelief as she stared at me.
06:25For all these years, I had treated her like something precious.
06:27She had never imagined that I would actually raise a hand against her one day.
06:31Her eyes instantly turned red.
06:33Ethan, how dare you hit me?
06:35Hit you?
06:36I sneered.
06:37You eat my food, live under my roof, and drink with another man behind my back.
06:40Tell me, did you sleep with your male best friend?
06:43The cold and intimidating way I looked at her was completely different from the obedient man she had known before.
06:48For the first time, Lily felt genuine fear.
06:51Tears immediately began streaming down her face.
06:53I didn't do anything.
06:55Ethan, do you really think that little of me?
06:57I glared at her angrily.
06:58You two are always together.
07:00What exactly do you expect me to believe?
07:02You keep saying you didn't do it, so where's the proof?
07:04Lily was stunned.
07:05Ethan, have you lost your mind?
07:07How am I supposed to produce proof like that?
07:09Ryan and I are completely innocent.
07:11Why are you making such a huge deal out of something so small?
07:14Can't you be a little more understanding?
07:16I stared at her as if she were an idiot.
07:18Fine.
07:19Now everything is clear.
07:20I'll send this photo to your family and see if they also believe the two of you are innocent.
07:24The moment Lily realized I was actually about to send it, she panicked.
07:27She knew her family had depended on the Lee family's support for years.
07:31If I sent that photo to her parents, they would never forgive her.
07:34She immediately grabbed my arm.
07:35Ethan, please.
07:36I'm begging you.
07:37Just stop this nonsense.
07:38I continued staring at her with the same cold expression.
07:42Where's the proof?
07:42Show me the proof.
07:43Proof?
07:44Where am I supposed to get proof?
07:45Lily desperately grabbed at her hair, completely losing control.
07:48I remained completely calm and simply watched her carefully.
07:52Lily finally lost control in her drunken state and pulled off her bathrobe.
07:56Fine.
07:56You want proof, right?
07:57Isn't this what you've always wanted?
07:59This is my first time.
08:00Tonight, I'll prove it to you.
08:01I could only stare at her in complete shock.
08:04She really wasn't lying.
08:05The next morning, I finally fell asleep, but my assistant's phone call woke me up.
08:09He reminded me about an important meeting I had to attend.
08:11When I got up, Lily was still sleeping deeply.
08:14She was obviously exhausted from everything that had happened the night before.
08:17I ignored her, freshened up, and left for work.
08:20By noon, Ryan posted another message on his WeChat moments, clearly intended to provoke me.
08:24He claimed that he had drunk too much the previous night and was suffering from severe stomach pain,
08:29so he was at the hospital receiving an IV.
08:31And conveniently, Sister Lily was there, taking care of him.
08:34Below the post were two photos.
08:36In one, Lily was feeding Ryan herself, while in the other, she was gently running her hand through his hair.
08:41The caption made it even more ridiculous.
08:43Sister Lily didn't sleep for even a moment last night, and now she's already gone to see her male best
08:48friend again this afternoon.
08:49His friends immediately flooded the post with comments.
08:52Wow, what a perfect couple.
08:54You two look like a married couple.
08:56Oh my god, you two didn't cross any lines, did you?
08:59You were even drinking from the same cup.
09:01Stop talking nonsense and be careful.
09:03Otherwise, President Lee might get jealous.
09:05Come on, everyone knows President Lee can't live without our Lily.
09:08He's gotten jealous more than once, but Lily has him completely under her control.
09:12After reading those comments on WeChat moments, I didn't feel angry at all.
09:16I had no intention of keeping that woman around anyway.
09:19I simply blocked every single person involved.
09:21The original owner had been an idiot for adding someone like Ryan to his friend list just to torment himself.
09:28But I wasn't going to let the two of them off that easily.
09:31The Lily family owned a small business that was already on the verge of collapse.
09:35Without the Lee family's support over all these years, they would have gone bankrupt long ago.
09:39I pressed the intercom and called my assistant into the office.
09:42Assistant Chen, I want all contracts with the Lily family cancelled immediately.
09:47Have the legal department investigate every debt owed by the Lily family.
09:50We should begin the recovery process within three days.
09:54Assistant Chen looked extremely excited.
09:56President Lee, you've finally come to your senses.
09:58Understood.
09:59I'll make the arrangements immediately.
10:01Just as Assistant Chen was about to leave, I called him back.
10:03Oh, and have someone investigate Ryan as well.
10:06I want a complete report on everything about him.
10:08Assistant Chen respectfully acknowledged the order and left.
10:11Ryan was, after all, the male lead of the story.
10:14He had plenty of confidence and was constantly surrounded by different women.
10:17I seriously doubted that his personal life was as clean as he pretended it was.
10:21That night, a group of people from the same social circle attended a friend's birthday party,
10:26and Lily was among them.
10:27What surprised me was that she had brought Ryan along too.
10:30They really did act like the main characters of this ridiculous story.
10:33Wherever they went, the two of them always seemed to appear together.
10:37They went everywhere together and were practically inseparable.
10:40The moment I reached the entrance, Ryan walked toward me angrily and deliberately lowered his voice.
10:44Ethan, tell me the truth.
10:46Did something happen between you and Lily last night?
10:48I looked down at him and smiled.
10:50Ryan, Lily and I are boyfriend and girlfriend.
10:52What do you think happens when a man and a woman sleep in the same bed?
10:55Didn't you notice that she was walking a little differently today?
10:58The moment I said that, Ryan completely lost control.
11:01His fists clenched as he glared at me.
11:03Watching him react like that, I honestly thought there was something wrong with him.
11:06He was acting as if Lily were his girlfriend.
11:09Suddenly, Ryan slapped himself hard across the face and collapsed straight onto the floor.
11:13The dramatic scene immediately attracted everyone's attention.
11:16Lily rushed over within seconds.
11:18She crouched beside Ryan, shielding him protectively, then looked up at me with an angry expression.
11:23Ethan, haven't you caused enough trouble already?
11:25You've been making a scene since last night just because we had drinks together.
11:28Let me make one thing clear.
11:30Even my patience has a limit.
11:31Ryan covered his face, his eyes turning red.
11:34Sister Lily, Mr. Lee must have misunderstood something about me.
11:37I tried to calmly explain that there's nothing between us, but he refused to understand.
11:41But, forget it, Sister Lily.
11:43This is all my fault.
11:44If Mr. Lee wants to hit or scold me, I won't fight back.
11:47His words made not only me, but several other guests uncomfortable.
11:51However, Lily and her female friends seemed to love the performance, glaring at me angrily.
11:55This isn't over yet.
11:56Ryan is too honest.
11:57That's why Ethan keeps bullying him.
11:58Lily stood up and stared directly at me.
12:00Ethan, I want you to apologize to Ryan right now.
12:03Otherwise, don't expect me to apologize to you.
12:05I lost my patience and slapped her across the face.
12:08Apologize?
12:09Not a chance.
12:09Didn't you see the slap mark on his face?
12:12The thumb mark is pointing downward.
12:13You couldn't even tell that he slapped himself.
12:15If that's not enough, we can check the security footage.
12:17Do you think that huge security camera at the entrance is just there for decoration?
12:21I pointed toward the camera before continuing.
12:24And understand this clearly.
12:25You're my girlfriend, yet you're standing in front of me defending another man.
12:29Is this how the Lily family raised you?
12:31I pressed my finger firmly against her forehead, and she finally fell silent.
12:35You bunch of idiots, get out of here.
12:37I'm telling you right now, Lily, we're finished.
12:39Break up with me, you cheating woman.
12:41Lily was completely stunned by the slap and my harsh words.
12:44Her mind went blank for a moment.
12:46The surrounding guests finally started reacting, whispering among themselves.
12:49Oh my god, isn't that President Lee?
12:51Miss Lily, is something wrong?
12:53She's actually making a scene with President Lee in public over some outsider.
12:57I heard that guy is Miss Lily's male best friend.
13:00Yeah, yeah, if we put it nicely.
13:02Male best friend.
13:03Everyone could see through their little tricks now.
13:05I was still near the entrance, and I had personally watched Ryan slap himself before falling to the ground.
13:10I was honestly stunned by how shameless the performance was.
13:13Lily's friends initially wanted to defend her, but when they saw the other guests mocking the whole situation, they wisely
13:19kept their mouths shut.
13:20Ryan remained sitting on the floor, his face turning pale as he listened to the cold remarks around him.
13:24I calmly looked at Lily and said, I'm blocking your payment card.
13:28I'm giving you only one day to move out.
13:30Pack your things and leave.
13:31Take care of yourself.
13:32Lily's eyes immediately turned red.
13:34She stared at me in disbelief, her eyes filled with anger, jealousy, and humiliation.
13:39After that, she grabbed Ryan and hurried away.
13:41Inside the car, there was a heavy silence surrounding Lily.
13:43Her expression was gloomy.
13:45Ryan hesitated for a long time before finally gathering the courage to speak.
13:48Sister Lily, I was only joking around with Mr. Lee.
13:52I honestly never expected things to go this far.
13:54You two aren't really breaking up, are you?
13:56Maybe I should go apologize to Mr. Lee.
13:58This is all my fault.
13:59Lily forced a smile.
14:00It's okay, Ryan.
14:01This isn't entirely your fault.
14:03It's happening because Ethan is too narrow-minded.
14:05He's only upset because we had drinks together last night.
14:08That's why he humiliated us in public.
14:10Don't worry.
14:10He definitely won't actually break up with me.
14:12Ethan is just throwing a tantrum.
14:14In less than three days, he'll come crawling back to me and beg me to take him back.
14:18It's honestly ridiculous for a grown man to be this petty.
14:21Ryan's victorious smile disappeared instantly, replaced by a guilty expression.
14:25Sister Lily, don't say that.
14:27Mr. Lee may be dramatic, but he's been your boyfriend for three years.
14:30Sometimes you have to calm him down.
14:32I really don't want you two fighting because of me.
14:34A flash of irritation appeared in Lily's eyes.
14:36Fine.
14:37I'm not going to comfort him.
14:38If he hadn't chased after me like a dog for four years in college,
14:41I wouldn't have ended up dating Ethan in the first place.
14:44He's so boring.
14:45He's nothing like you.
14:46You actually know how to care about me.
14:48I'll drop you home first.
14:49I'm exhausted today.
14:50The next day, Lily had planned to take Ryan to Hang Ching.
14:53But halfway there, her father suddenly called her.
14:55His furious voice came through the phone.
14:57Lily, what have you done?
14:58Why has the Lee family suddenly cancelled all our contracts
15:01and demanded that we clear every outstanding payment within three days?
15:05They're threatening to sue us if we don't.
15:07What did you do to make Ethan this angry?
15:08Do you realize that 90% of the Lily family's business comes from the Lee family?
15:12Are you seriously going to sit there and watch our entire family collapse?
15:17Lily slammed on the brakes.
15:18Her face instantly turned pale.
15:20Dad, what did you just say?
15:21The Lee family is cancelling all our contracts?
15:24That's impossible.
15:26Impossible.
15:26I already have the letter from the Lee family's lawyer in my hands.
15:30Her father's voice was filled with panic.
15:32Her father's anger was obvious.
15:34I don't care what method you use now.
15:35Go and apologize to Ethan immediately.
15:37If the Lily family is completely destroyed,
15:40you won't be able to live peacefully either.
15:41The call suddenly ended.
15:43Lily gripped the steering wheel tightly,
15:45her face turning completely pale.
15:47Ryan, sitting in the passenger seat,
15:48nervously asked,
15:49Sister Lily, what happened?
15:51Lily didn't even have time to answer.
15:52She tremblingly tried calling me,
15:54but after several attempts,
15:55she realized that I had blocked her number.
15:57As she remembered my strange behavior over the past two days,
16:01her anxiety continued to grow.
16:02Ryan noticed that Lily was ignoring him,
16:04and his expression changed.
16:06Lily, Mr. Lee is just using this situation to force you to bow your head.
16:10He's putting on a knack.
16:11You absolutely cannot fall for his trick.
16:13You shouldn't give in to him this time.
16:15Lily didn't respond.
16:16She simply pulled the car over to the side of the road and stared blankly at her phone.
16:20Ryan continued talking.
16:21Lily, Mr. Lee just wants to force you to apologize.
16:24I'm telling you, don't listen to him this time.
16:26Otherwise, he'll become even more demanding.
16:29Suddenly, Lily remembered all the things I had done for her over the years.
16:32How I had always stayed by her side.
16:34How I had given her countless gifts.
16:36How, back in college, I had even written love letters for her by hand.
16:40I had learned to play the guitar just for her,
16:42confessed my feelings outside her dorm,
16:44and stayed beside her at the hospital without hesitation whenever she needed me.
16:48Everyone used to call Ethan her lapdog, but I never cared.
16:51All I wanted was to impress her.
16:53Now that she was facing my cold attitude,
16:55Lily suddenly felt as if something incredibly important had been ripped away from her heart.
17:00Ryan's constant comments began irritating her for some reason.
17:03Shut up!
17:04Ignoring Ryan's stunned expression,
17:06Lily immediately turned the car around and rushed back to find me.
17:09But she couldn't even enter the Lee family building.
17:12Security immediately stopped her and escorted her out.
17:15When she returned to the Lee family villa,
17:17all of her personal belongings had already been thrown outside,
17:20scattered across the ground.
17:21Butler Shue looked at her calmly.
17:23Miss Lily,
17:24Young master has ordered that you are no longer allowed to enter this house.
17:27Please don't come back again.
17:28Lily stared at her belongings scattered around her,
17:31her face turning pale.
17:32She looked up, her voice trembling.
17:34Uncle Shue?
17:34Is Ethan really this heartless?
17:36Butler Shue remained calm.
17:38Miss Lily,
17:39as a servant,
17:39there isn't much I should say to you.
17:41You know how our young master treated you all these years,
17:43but how did you treat him?
17:45That's all I have to say.
17:46Please take care of yourself.
17:47He paused before adding,
17:48Oh, by the way,
17:50young master spent somewhere between 30 and 50 million dollars purchasing Yunlan Manor.
17:54He originally planned to make it your wedding home.
17:56Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with you anymore.
17:59The moment Lily heard the words
18:00Yunlan Manor,
18:01she froze.
18:02The luxurious manor had only recently been completed,
18:05and rumors claimed that a mysterious businessman had purchased it.
18:08The mysterious businessman had paid an enormous amount to purchase it.
18:12Lily and several of her close friends had even talked about how happy they would be
18:15if Yunlan Manor became her wedding home.
18:17She had never imagined that the person who bought it was actually Ethan.
18:21Seeing Lily's pale face,
18:23Butler Shue didn't feel the slightest bit of sympathy.
18:25Young master flew overseas this morning to inspect a new project.
18:28Before leaving,
18:29he asked me to tell you that the two of you should part peacefully,
18:32wish each other happiness,
18:33and stop disturbing each other from now on.
18:35At that moment,
18:36Lily finally collapsed onto the ground.
18:38Covering her face,
18:39she burst into tears.
18:41After crying until she was exhausted,
18:43she searched through her belongings
18:44and pulled out a photo album from her university days,
18:46back when Ethan had been desperately trying to impress her,
18:49and had even taken her on an overseas trip.
18:52The entire album was filled with pictures of her,
18:54except for a single photo of the two of them together.
18:56On the back of it,
18:57Ethan had written,
18:58Lily,
18:58you have to be happy.
19:00Seeing those words made Lily cry even harder.
19:03Ryan soon came running over.
19:05Earlier,
19:05Lily had left him beneath the Lee family building and driven away,
19:08so he had to take a taxi to get there.
19:10When Ryan saw all of Lily's belongings scattered across the ground,
19:13a victorious glint flashed through his eyes.
19:16But he immediately put on a sorrowful expression.
19:19Sister Lily,
19:20Mr. Lee has gone too far.
19:21How could you throw your belongings out like garbage?
19:23Get lost.
19:25Lily suddenly turned around and slapped Ryan hard across the face.
19:28This is all your fault.
19:29If you hadn't caused all that drama,
19:31Ethan wouldn't have treated me like this.
19:33Get lost.
19:33Ryan's face burned from the slap.
19:35Anger flashed in his eyes,
19:37but he ultimately said nothing.
19:38He gritted his teeth and walked away.
19:40Meanwhile,
19:41my overseas business trip was partly because the international market was growing rapidly
19:44and needed my personal attention.
19:46But there was another reason as well.
19:48My mother had been thrilled after hearing that Lily and I had broken up,
19:51and she insisted that I go on a blind date overseas.
19:54And the woman she had arranged for me to meet was none other than Emma Jiang,
19:57the childhood friend of the original owner of this body.
20:00I immediately remembered what the original book had said about Emma.
20:04There wasn't much information about her,
20:05but for some reason,
20:06her story had left a deep impression on me.
20:09The Jiang family and the Li family had been longtime friends,
20:12and both families were evenly matched in status.
20:15Ethan and Emma had been close since childhood and were considered a perfect match.
20:19Emma was three years younger than the original owner,
20:21and he had always treated her like a little sister.
20:23After starting university, however,
20:25the original owner became obsessed with pursuing Lily,
20:28creating quite a commotion.
20:30Emma obviously heard about everything.
20:31She had originally planned to attend the same university as Ethan,
20:34but after learning about his relationship with Lily,
20:37she angrily decided to study overseas instead,
20:39and never returned.
20:41In the original book,
20:42Emma never married.
20:43In the end,
20:44the original owner was killed by Lily and Ryan,
20:46and less than a month later,
20:48Emma also died.
20:49It was honestly a tragic story.
20:51My mother then sent me some recent photos of Emma,
20:53and I looked at her.
20:54I was completely stunned by Emma's beauty.
20:57If Lily deserved an 85 out of 100 for her looks,
21:00then Emma easily deserved a 95.
21:02Whether it was her appearance or her long, elegant legs,
21:06she completely outshone Lily.
21:08And unlike Lily's family,
21:09Emma came from an exceptionally well-educated background.
21:12Her father was a successful businessman,
21:15while her mother came from a prominent family
21:16and was a university professor.
21:18The Jiang family was considered a highly educated and respectable family.
21:23Emma had inherited her mother's calm and gentle personality as well.
21:26The original owner of this body had been completely blind.
21:29He had ignored such an incredible childhood friend,
21:32and stubbornly chosen to marry Lily instead.
21:34That very morning,
21:35I quickly booked a flight and headed overseas.
21:37I stayed abroad for three months,
21:39and through my confidence,
21:40charm,
21:41and the bond we had shared since childhood,
21:43I completely won Emma over.
21:45She had only recently graduated from university,
21:47and she easily accepted my feelings.
21:49Without hesitation,
21:50she agreed to return to India with me.
21:52My mother and Emma's mother
21:54had already been discussing marriage between our families.
21:56On my first day back at the Lee family home,
21:59Butler Shue came inside to report,
22:01Young master,
22:01Miss Lily is here again.
22:03He opened his phone and handed it to me.
22:04I raised an eyebrow.
22:06Lily looked at me through the screen.
22:07Ethan,
22:08don't you really think we can go back to the way we were before?
22:10Didn't the housekeeper already tell you not to bother me every day?
22:13Tears were streaming down Lily's face.
22:15She looked completely miserable.
22:17She grabbed my hand and begged,
22:19Please,
22:19give me one more chance.
22:20Okay?
22:21You can hit me.
22:21You can yell at me.
22:22Just please don't leave me.
22:24I pushed her away and she fell to the floor.
22:26Lily,
22:26do you really think that if I keep forgiving you over and over like before,
22:31you'll eventually realize your mistakes?
22:33No,
22:33you won't.
22:34You'll only become more shameless.
22:36What male best friend?
22:37You just love that filthy environment,
22:39don't you?
22:40You still don't understand that you're the one who's wrong.
22:42You're just making excuses.
22:44Get out,
22:45you pathetic woman.
22:46Stop bothering me.
22:48I turned around to leave,
22:49but Lily suddenly crawled toward me and tightly grabbed my leg.
22:52Crying,
22:52she pleaded,
22:53No,
22:53Ethan.
22:54I swear I never did anything to betray you.
22:56I really know that I was wrong.
22:57Please don't be angry anymore.
22:59Fine.
22:59I won't have any male best friends anymore.
23:01Ethan,
23:02we've been together for so many years.
23:03You can't treat me like this.
23:04I lost my patience,
23:06slapped her,
23:07and kicked her away.
23:08Get out!
23:09Lily,
23:09don't force me to look down on you.
23:11Lily fell to the floor,
23:12covered her face,
23:12and began sobbing uncontrollably while shaking her head.
23:15Just then,
23:16the young and beautiful Emma walked out.
23:18She was wearing a light green skirt suit,
23:20and her elegant appearance immediately drew attention.
23:22Emma walked straight over,
23:24wrapped her arms around me,
23:25and suspiciously glanced at Lily lying on the floor.
23:28Darling,
23:28who is she?
23:29Butler Shue then spoke up.
23:31Young master,
23:31dinner is ready.
23:32I was sent to call you.
23:33Lily's crying suddenly stopped.
23:35She stared carefully at the beautiful woman standing in front of her before abruptly getting back on her feet.
23:40Her voice was sharp.
23:41Who are you?
23:42Emma looked surprised for a moment.
23:43She paused for a moment before giving a faint smile.
23:46I'm Ethan's fiancé.
23:47We're getting married soon.
23:49Lily froze in shock and staggered backward.
23:51She couldn't bring herself to stay any longer,
23:53so she turned around and ran away crying.
23:56Watching her leave,
23:56Emma laughed even harder.
23:58Ethan,
23:58come inside.
23:59Let's have dinner.
23:59I pulled her closer and whispered into her ear with a mischievous smile.
24:03You just called me your husband,
24:04and now you're calling me Ethan.
24:06You change so quickly,
24:07that won't do.
24:08After dinner,
24:08I'm going to tease you about it.
24:09Emma's ears immediately turned red.
24:11She pinched my waist hard and stepped on my foot.
24:13You're so shameless.
24:15I chuckled.
24:15When a woman says no,
24:17sometimes she really means yes.
24:18I quickly asked the housekeeper to prepare a few more special dishes.
24:22Good evening.
24:22We're going to be up all night tonight.
24:24The housekeeper laughed playfully.
24:26Young master,
24:27everything has already been arranged.
24:28I'll bring it to you right away.
24:29Hearing our conversation,
24:31Emma immediately became embarrassed.
24:33She lowered her head and avoided my gaze.
24:35I thought Lily would eventually give up,
24:37but as expected,
24:38she continued coming to see me every few days.
24:40She no longer came to the Lee family villa.
24:42Instead,
24:43she quietly stood beneath the Lee group building,
24:45staring blankly at the entrance.
24:47Sometimes she brought a gift,
24:48and sometimes she came empty-handed.
24:50Half a month later,
24:51I was standing downstairs with a thermos in my hand
24:53when heavy rain suddenly started pouring again.
24:56Seeing Lily shivering in the rain,
24:57I hesitated for a moment before deciding to meet her.
24:59If she actually collapsed outside the Lee group building,
25:02it wouldn't be good for the company's image.
25:04I told the security guard to take her to the first floor lobby,
25:07then went downstairs myself.
25:08She was completely soaked.
25:10Her face looked exhausted,
25:11and she seemed even weaker and more disheveled than before.
25:14The moment she saw me,
25:16she forced a strange smile and immediately stood up from the sofa.
25:19I made your favorite seafood soup.
25:21It's still warm.
25:21Would you like some?
25:22I looked at her coldly.
25:23Lily,
25:24what exactly do you want?
25:25Everything between us is over.
25:27Stop being so stubborn.
25:28Her smile disappeared instantly.
25:29Her hand trembled slightly as she held the thermos.
25:32Ethan,
25:32I spent the whole night making this.
25:34Just taste a little.
25:35You always used to make soup for me yourself.
25:37This time,
25:38I wanted to make it for you.
25:39As she spoke,
25:40she tried to hand me the thermos,
25:41but I knocked it to the ground.
25:42Suddenly,
25:43a thought crossed my mind.
25:44I remembered that in this kind of story,
25:46someone like Lily
25:47often had a curse that couldn't simply be broken.
25:50No wonder she had continued coming back to bother me.
25:52I had misjudged the situation.
25:54I had really misjudged it.
25:56Without thinking,
25:57I finally said the words she feared most.
25:59Lily,
25:59I don't love you anymore.
26:01Don't come here again.
26:02The moment those words left my mouth,
26:03Lily completely broke down.
26:05Tears streamed from her eyes.
26:07Impossible.
26:08You loved me so much.
26:09Ethan,
26:09how can you suddenly stop loving me?
26:11I know I was wrong.
26:13Please don't stop loving me.
26:14She collapsed onto the floor
26:15and began sobbing uncontrollably.
26:18Seeing her like that,
26:18I didn't feel the slightest bit of sympathy.
26:20This was the consequence of her own choices.
26:23I threw a bundle of photographs in front of her.
26:25Lily,
26:25we've reached this point because of your choices.
26:28Your family has been ruined
26:29and is drowning in debt.
26:30And in the end,
26:31this is all because of Ryan.
26:32You kept telling me
26:33that your relationship with Ryan
26:35was nothing but an innocent friendship.
26:37Look at these carefully.
26:38What do you think this is?
26:39Not a single one of your female friends
26:41managed to escape Ryan's influence.
26:43Lily's eyes widened
26:45as she looked at the photographs
26:46scattered across the floor.
26:47They were incredibly clear,
26:49with some of them taken from security cameras.
26:51While Lily had been suffering all this time,
26:53the so-called innocent Ryan
26:55had been enjoying himself
26:56with her female friends.
26:57There were photos of him kissing women in bars,
27:00footage of him holding hands with women
27:01while entering hotels,
27:03and even some suspicious scenes inside cars.
27:05Lily stared at the photographs carefully,
27:07her entire body trembling.
27:09Lily,
27:09this is your so-called male best friend.
27:12Just friends.
27:13Innocent.
27:13Completely innocent.
27:15Lily suddenly started laughing like a madwoman.
27:17Anger and resentment slowly filled her eyes.
27:19She picked up the photographs
27:21and ran outside like someone
27:22who had completely lost her mind.
27:24In reality,
27:25my assistant had already given me
27:26these photographs shortly after I returned to India.
27:28I had deliberately saved them for the moment
27:31when Lily felt the most helpless
27:32because I wanted her hatred toward Ryan
27:34to reach its absolute limit.
27:36After that,
27:37Lily disappeared completely.
27:39Her father,
27:39overwhelmed by the family's massive debts,
27:41suddenly suffered a serious attack.
27:43His condition deteriorated
27:44and he was hospitalized.
27:46Her mother stayed at the hospital
27:47to take care of him,
27:48often washing her face in exhaustion
27:50whenever she barely had the strength
27:51to keep going.
27:52Their medical and living expenses
27:54were covered by selling Lily's old jewelry
27:56and expensive belongings.
27:57Lily herself disappeared for a while.
27:59No one knew where she had gone.
28:01Meanwhile,
28:01Emma and I held a grand wedding.
28:03Almost every major businessman
28:05in the city attended.
28:06Emma stood beside me
28:07in a white wedding dress,
28:08smiling brightly.
28:09Her eyes were filled with happiness
28:11and I could see the deep love
28:12she held for me.
28:13As we exchanged rings,
28:14I noticed a familiar figure
28:16standing near the hotel entrance.
28:17It was Lily.
28:18She had become much thinner than before.
28:20Her face was pale
28:21and her eyes looked dull and empty.
28:23The moment she realized
28:24I had noticed her,
28:25she panicked,
28:26turned around,
28:27and quickly ran away.
28:28A month later,
28:29my assistant knocked on my office door.
28:30President Lee,
28:31we just received some news.
28:32She passed away in the hospital.
28:34I paused,
28:35held his hand,
28:35and nodded.
28:36Alright,
28:36I understand.
28:37I stood up and walked
28:38toward the large window.
28:39The winter streets outside
28:40were completely deserted.
28:42My assistant quietly added,
28:43Miss Lily is currently
28:44still receiving treatment
28:45at the hospital.
28:46Apparently,
28:47she hasn't shed a single tear.
28:48Light snow had begun
28:49falling outside the window.
28:51Tiny flakes landed
28:52against the glass
28:52before disappearing
28:53almost instantly.
28:55Should we send some flowers?
28:56My assistant asked,
28:57No need.
28:58I turned toward him.
28:59Find a private investigator
29:00and keep an eye
29:01on Lily's every move.
29:02Yes, Mr. Lee.
29:03One week after Lily's funeral,
29:04Lily finally appeared again.
29:06She stood beneath
29:07the Lee Group building,
29:08staring up toward my office.
29:09She remained there
29:10for a long time,
29:11silently looking up.
29:12Then she quietly turned around,
29:13as if she were saying
29:14one final goodbye.
29:16Sure enough,
29:16that afternoon,
29:17the private investigator
29:18sent us a video.
29:19My assistant explained
29:20that Lily had met Ryan
29:21on an overpass.
29:22They had barely exchanged
29:23a few words
29:24when Lily suddenly lost control.
29:25She grabbed Ryan
29:26and jumped from the overpass
29:27with him.
29:28The video was extremely clear.
29:30Lily, dressed in black,
29:31looked completely different
29:32from Ryan,
29:32who was wearing a white jacket.
29:34Ryan appeared troubled
29:35and kept pointing toward Lily
29:36as if warning her
29:37about something.
29:37Then Lily suddenly gave him
29:39a strange smile,
29:40grabbed him,
29:41and pulled him over the edge
29:42into the moonlit darkness.
29:43My assistant's voice
29:44was heavy as he continued.
29:46Ryan died at the scene.
29:47Miss Lily was rushed
29:48to the hospital
29:48and the doctors managed
29:49to save her life.
29:50However,
29:51they said she would remain paralyzed
29:52for the rest of her life.
29:54I slowly nodded.
29:55All right,
29:55arrange everything.
29:56I'll cover her medical expenses.
29:58Tell the doctors
29:58to keep her alive.
30:00After all,
30:00Lily had been the reason
30:01both the original owner
30:02of this body
30:03and the original assistant
30:04had been dragged toward tragedy.
30:06Now that Lily was destined
30:07to spend the rest
30:08of her life paralyzed,
30:09I considered it
30:10a fitting consequence
30:11for everything she had done.
30:12Just then,
30:13my phone rang.
30:14Honey,
30:14when are you coming back?
30:15You always say
30:15I'm too conservative,
30:16so I specially bought
30:17a few of those outfits
30:18you mentioned last time.
30:19When you come back,
30:20I'll wear them for you.
30:21I smiled and shook my head.
30:23You really know
30:23how to tease me.
30:24I called the housekeeper,
30:25Mr. Shue,
30:26and told him,
30:26prepare something special
30:27for dinner that night.
30:28I'm going to be working
30:29overtime until morning.
30:30Mr. Shue immediately
30:31gave a knowing smile.
30:32Don't worry,
30:33young master,
30:33I'll take care of everything.
30:35You really have no idea
30:36what you're getting yourself into,
30:37I muttered with a laugh.
30:38And next time,
30:39don't make assumptions
30:40about Aunt Wong
30:40just because you see her
30:41coming out of the shower.
30:42That's it for today's video.
30:44If you enjoyed the story,
30:45don't forget to subscribe,
30:46and I'll see you in the next one.
30:48Goodbye.
