Noh Young-won (played by Kim Hee-sun), the best family counselor in South Korea, and Choi Jae-jin (played by Kim Nam-hee), a plastic surgeon, are a loving couple who admire each other. One day, Young-won is raped by Se Na (played by Yeonwoo) of unknown origin.) threatens to completely shake his enviable family and career.In order to protect her family, Yingyuan teamed up with Hong Sijiang (played by Li Huiying), a master of mystery novels and her grandmother, and bet her entire life.
Dr. Lu Yingyuan walked through the white snow and came to the hut where her mother-in-law Hong Sijiang lived.In this seemingly peaceful environment, the family hardships and twists and turns between her and her mother-in-law Hong Sijiang gradually surfaced through a series of short flashbacks, foreshadowing the coming storm.
Yingyuan, a high-profile psychiatrist, not only appears frequently on TV shows, but also maintains a seemingly perfect family.Her husband Choi Jae-jin, a successful surgeon, and the two are about to win an award for their outstanding performance.Her mother-in-law, Hong Sijiang, is a digital novelist who strives to gain popularity among readers.In addition, Yingyuan's father-in-law Choi Khmer, a former prosecutor, also plays an important role in the family.
However, the relationship between Khmer and Si Jiang appears to be extremely tense, and Si Jiang is even more difficult to get along with.After breakfast, Yingyuan hurried to the workplace.Her schedule is already packed, but despite this, she still emphasizes work-life balance.
At this time, a new patient named Li Shina walked into Yingyuan's clinic.She confided to Yingyuan her painful experience of falling in love with a married man, and the helplessness of a man who had to continue to maintain a marriage in order to maintain the superficial harmony of the family.This scene made Yingyuan feel uneasy, and Se Na directly questioned whether Yingyuan knew everything about her family.In response, Yingyuan could only reply helplessly that no one can fully understand his family.
The next day, the family went to church, and Yingyuan became the center of attention.Later, when Jae Jin sent his son Choi Do Hyun to school, the two talked about Do Hyun's love life and his mother's controlling nature.Back in Yingyuan's office, her brother Nuo Yingmin suddenly came to visit.It seems that he quit his job again and hopes to start a business with Yingyuan and let Yingyuan provide consulting services.However, Ying-won did not agree to his proposal and soon kicked him out of the office.
At this moment, a beautifully wrapped gift was delivered to Yingyuan's office.When she carefully opened it, she was stunned by what she saw - a beheaded bird, photos of her family, and a chilling question: How is your family?“This incident made Yingyuan feel extremely uneasy, and she began to wonder whether her family was facing some unknown threat.
Recalling my father’s teachings: ” Yingyuan, life is not always so smooth.You may fail, and sometimes you may slip up like you just did.Life has its ups and downs and that's how people become resilient.% Yingyuan made up her mind that no matter how difficult she faced, she would not give up easily.
Meanwhile, Jae-jin develops symptoms of panic disorder after surgery and is comforted by his colleague Dr. Oh Ji-eun.However, when the surgical team went to have lunch, Jae-jin unexpectedly met an old acquaintance - Wen Tae-oh.The two chatted happily and left the restaurant together, which made Dr. Wu very frustrated.In another corner of the restaurant, Yingyuan was having lunch with her team.When Jaejin introduced Taiwu to Yingyuan, Yingyuan thought this person was a bit strange.
On the other side, Sijiang visited a designer to choose clothes for the award ceremony.However, she was displeased when the designer praised Young-won instead of Jae-jin.Later, Sijiang stumbles upon an old-fashioned mainland restaurant and reveals that he may have an unknown past with chef Park Kang-sung.
Just as Yingyuan was driving back to work from the restaurant, she suddenly received a call from her manager.It turns out that a video about her father's suicide is going viral on the Internet.It was revealed in the video that her father had been accused of corruption and sexual assault, and what was even more shocking was that her father had been friends with Jae Jin's father, but the latter refused to help him at the critical moment.Recalling her high school days, Yingyuan once asked her father to protect her family and prove her innocence. However, her father chose to end her life by jumping off a building.
This news made Yingyuan feel heartbroken, and Khmer also saw the video.He invited Zai Zhen to have a drink and talk, but Si Jiang suddenly got involved.Zai Zhen decided to eavesdrop on his parents' conversation to learn the truth, but unexpectedly discovered the cracks in their marriage - it turned out that the relationship between Si Jiang and Khmer had long been in name only, and Khmer's multiple derailments made Si Jiang feel discouraged.In the end, Khmer chose to leave the family, leaving Sijiang to bear the pressure of life alone.
The next morning, Khmer accidentally slipped and fell while walking his dog and was injured, unable to move.However, fate seemed to be unforgiving to him - a boulder slid down and hit him, taking away his life.Yingyuan was shocked and saddened when she received the bad news. She could not accept this cruel reality.
In the funeral home, Yingyuan unexpectedly met her patient Se Na.Se Na cried so hard that she seemed very sad about Khmer's death.Based on their previous conversation at the clinic, Young-won suspects that Se-na may have fallen in love with Khmer.This discovery made Yingyuan feel even more confused and uneasy.
After returning to Cui's house, Young-won discovered a hidden safe in Khmer's former room.When she opened it, she found a notebook and a USB flash drive.While browsing the contents of the USB drive, she was shocked to discover a recording - a recording that proved her father's innocence and that Khmer was one of the people who made her father a scapegoat.
Young-won and Jae-jin respectively won the Outstanding Achievement Award in their respective fields. When the host asked Young-won about her views on family, she replied affectionately: “For me, family is an indispensable lifeline in my life..”
Later, the camera went back to a dusty memory, and Yingyuan unexpectedly discovered that her mother-in-law Sijiang was celebrating the death of her husband.Young-won reveals Khmer's involvement in her father's death and is hesitant about what to do next.Under Sijiang's persuasion, she finally decided to give up this idea of revenge, considering the profound impact this move might have on her family.Therefore, at the award ceremony, she expressed her gratitude to her father-in-law who loved her like a loving father.
With Khmer's death, although the Cui family has experienced various changes, criticism of Si Jiang's online novels has never stopped.This time, however, a new user emerged to passionately defend Sijiang’s work.At the same time, Jae Jin sat quietly in the operating room with headphones on, watching other doctors busy performing operations.
Later, the Cui family went to pay homage to Khmer on the 49th anniversary of his death. At this moment, Yingyuan heard a rumor that Si Jiang became a suspect in Khmer's death because of the plot in one of her popular thriller novels.object.This news made Yingyuan begin to doubt Sijiang.During one session, she noticed family photos sent to her by an anonymous sender were labeled with numbers.After carefully examining the photos, she was shocked to find that the numbers seemed to imply that the murderer was targeting her family in a specific order, and that the next target was Jae Jin.She tried to track down clues about the sender, but found nothing.At this time, she received a message prompting her to visit Do-hyun's homeroom teacher.During the conversation with the class teacher, she learned that Zhixian had been acting abnormally recently and even gave up on important exams.
Meanwhile, Si Jiang visits the historic Chinese restaurant “Soft Hands and makes a special request to the chef.Yingyuan took Daoxian home and happened to meet Wen Taihao.After some pleasantries, Tae-ho excused himself to talk to Do-hyun alone, but instead played catch with Do-hyun.This scene made Yingyuan have inexplicable doubts about Taihao.
The next day, Li Se Na came to visit Ying Yuan for consultation.Ying-won tries to introduce Se-na to a new doctor, but Se-na is not interested and even deliberately provokes Ying-won before leaving, mentioning her family and the subtle connection between Si-jiang and the death of Khmer.Soon after, Yingyuan's aunt also came to visit, and she brought a copy of Si Jiang's novel - Murder in the Frame.The protagonist's method of killing her husband was exactly the same as Khmer's death, which shocked Yingyuan.
Yingyuan immediately rushed to the police station to investigate, only to find that Sijiang had refused to conduct an autopsy for Khmer's case.Determined to uncover the truth, she came to Khmer's death scene and unexpectedly discovered that Si Jiang was also lurking here.When Yingyuan asked Sijiang about the autopsy, Sijiang prevaricated the matter lightly.At the same time, the chef in the Chinese restaurant was also secretly preparing a task. It turned out that he was one of the loyal commentators of Sijiang's online novel.
On the other side, Young-won was immersed in the novel - Murder in the Frame, when Jae-jin suddenly walked in.Yingyuan told him about the plot of the novel about headless stuffed pigeons and reminded him to be careful.Zai Zhen looked solemn after hearing this. It turned out that he was about to participate in an important academic seminar that lasted for more than a year.At this time, Li Se Na sent a mysterious message: The photo in the frame has been completed.”Subsequently, she walked into a mysterious house, which heralded a new turning point in the story.
Early the next morning, Young-won received a series of text messages from unknown senders on her way to work, each of which was accompanied by intimate photos of Jae-jin and a strange woman.She was suspicious and decided to go to the place where Jae-jin claimed to be attending an academic seminar to verify, but unexpectedly discovered that he had been lying about it.This discovery makes Young-won start to wonder if Jae-jin has been hiding the truth from her.So when Jae-jin returned home that evening, she decided to check the dash cam, only to find that there was nothing recorded in it.
To further uncover the truth, Young-won learned through her brother that Jae-jin actually attended an academic symposium in Yangpyeong.She then checked Jae-jin’s credit card transaction records, a move that further confirmed his whereabouts.Although her heart was full of doubts and uneasiness, when Jae-jin returned home and talked endlessly about those fictional academic seminar experiences, Young-won suppressed her emotions and remained calm.
During the busy schedule in the office, Yingyuan received another anonymous package.She opened it carefully and found an exquisite miniature model inside.Just when she was confused, her phone rang again, and a new message came into view - “a complete lie”, followed by several photos of Jae Jin and another woman, and a clear time mark.Yingyuan put this information aside for the time being and focused on studying the miniature model in her hand.After careful comparison and scrutiny, she finally discovered the geographical location represented by the model - Seojeong-myeon 742-3.
This address evokes deep memories for Young-won, it was once a resort where she and Jae-jin’s family spent happy time together.With mixed emotions, she drove to the familiar farmhouse.After a careful search, Yingyuan found a bunch of abandoned flowers and a book titled - The Mousetrap is Missing - in the corner.What was even more shocking was that in another corner of the farmhouse, she found Dr. Wu's body in a pool of blood.
“She was not dead,” Sijiang's voice suddenly sounded behind Yingyuan, revealing a more confusing mystery for her.As this episode came to an end, the doubts and uneasiness in Yingyuan's heart reached its peak.
Yingyuan accidentally bumped into Dr. Wu lying in a pool of blood at her family's vacation home. When she was panicking, Sijiang revealed to her that she had discovered Dr. Wu who was unconscious before Yingyuan arrived.After careful consideration, the two decided to temporarily avoid calling the police to avoid attracting public attention. Instead, they chose to secretly transfer Dr. Wu to a trustworthy hospital for treatment.
At the hospital, Sijiang was full of doubts about what happened to Dr. Wu. She intuitively felt that the matter might be related to Zai Zhen, because Zai Zhen seemed to be inextricably linked to the matter.At the same time, Young-won received a mysterious text message, which contained “complete lies” and included intimate photos of Jae-jin and another woman.Young-won further discovered that the medical association that Jae-jin had mentioned to her did not actually exist, which made her more suspicious of Jae-jin.
However, Si Jiang firmly believed that Jae Jin was innocent, and despite the evidence before her eyes, she still insisted on defending Jae Jin.The two had a disagreement, but put their dispute aside for the time being.After Sijiang left, Yingyuan went to the hospital alone to visit her mother who had dementia, and the relationship between the two became particularly tense.
On the other hand, Si Jiang returns to the vacation home with Park Kang-sung, the owner of Soft Hand Company.In the office and bedroom on the second floor, they accidentally discovered clues to Jae Jin's extramarital affair.These discoveries reminded Sijiang of her husband's past betrayal. She felt mixed feelings and decisively ordered Kang Cheng to clean up the scene to cover up all the secrets.
Ying-won ran into her younger brother Ying-min on the way to Jae-jin's office, and Ying-min revealed to her the circumstances of his encounter with Jae-jin on the road.What's more, they learned that Kang Cheng's nephew was Yingmin's friend, and this relationship paved the way for the subsequent plot development.Yingyuan used her wisdom to find key clues from the clinic's surveillance video. She found scenes of Jae-jin and Dr. Wu rushing somewhere.What shocked her even more was that she found Dr. Wu’s mobile phone in the back seat of the car.
At the hospital, Young-won manages to unlock the phone with Dr. Oh’s thumb.She was surprised to find that there were a lot of photos of Jae Jin saved on her phone, and there were even photos of Jae Jin and Sa Jiang when they were young.These discoveries made Young-won more suspicious of Jae-jin, and she decided to show the evidence to Sa-jang.
However, Sa Jiang insists that she and Jae Jin are just ordinary friends. She believes that Dr. Wu's one-sided obsession with Jae Jin is the root cause of all this.In order to cover up Dr. Wu's disappearance, Sijiang pretended to be Dr. Wu and sent a message to the clinic staff, falsely claiming that Dr. Wu would be on leave for a period of time.
Meanwhile, Young-won and Jae-jin had to concoct a lie to their son Do-hyun, explaining that Jae-jin was on an indefinite work trip.However, at this moment, Young-won received a call and learned that a bug was found in Jae-jin's clinic.It turns out that when Jae Jin and Dr. Wu were away, it was Si Jiang who installed cameras in the clinic and tried to monitor all activities in the clinic.
Si Jiang shows Young Won a video evidence that shows Jae Jin holding a bloody metal rod.However, Si Jiang still firmly believes that Jae Jin could not have tried to murder Dr. Oh, and she believes that this is all a deliberate attempt to frame their family.
At this time, they unexpectedly met Dr. Wu's partner Gao Jingtai, who revealed shocking news - Dr. Wu was missing and he was actually a policeman.The news shocked and frustrated Yingyuan and Sajiang, who originally planned to handle the matter quietly to avoid police involvement.But now, the situation is beyond their control.
In order to find Dr. Wu as soon as possible and get rid of her mobile phone, Yingyuan and Sa Jiang decided to go to Dr. Wu's apartment.Sajan claimed to be South Korea's Agatha Christie, and she cleverly cracked the password on her cell phone.However, just when they were about to succeed, Jingtai suddenly came to the apartment.
In desperation, Yingyuan and Sajiang hid their mobile phones in the closet.When Kyung-tae dialed Dr. Oh's cell phone, it rang in the closet.The two were panicked and at a loss.Fortunately, Kang Cheng appeared in time. He claimed to be Dr. Wu's uncle and lured Jingtai away, buying them time to escape.
At the same time, Do Hyun spent an unforgettable time with Moon Tae Oh.The friendship between them further deepened, paving the way for the subsequent plot development.
After returning home, Yingyuan and Sijiang met a private detective Zheng Douman.It turned out that he had been investigating Li Shina's situation at the request of Khmer.Dou Man provided them with conclusive evidence of Jae Jin's extramarital affair with Se Na, and told them that Lee Se Na was an extremely suspicious woman.The men she was associated with eventually met misfortune, and she became the beneficiary of their insurance money.This discovery made Yingyuan and Sijiang deeply suspicious of Li Shina's motives.
In addition, the plot also reveals a secret that Si Jiang has been hiding - she actually already knew about Jae Jin's extramarital affair.Facing Yingyuan's questions and accusations, Sijiang was speechless.As a result, Yingyuan had a fierce dispute with Sijiang, and she vowed to find Jaejin herself and uncover the truth of all these mysteries.
Yingyuan unexpectedly learned that Sijiang had already known the secret of Zaizhen's extramarital affair. She knew that calling the police at this time would only make the situation more complicated, so she tried her best and finally succeeded in convincing Sijiang to temporarily give up the idea of calling the police.Although the two had a grudge against each other, they chose to join forces in the face of a common enemy.
Soon, Yingyuan took over a case on the TV station, and the case was surprisingly similar to her own experience.She empathizes with the situation and firmly supports the victims in pursuing just legal compensation.However, as she was leaving the studio after work, she unexpectedly received a toy car anonymously mailed to her.She tried to trace the sender's identity but found nothing.After returning to the office, she unexpectedly discovered a website address written in invisible ink on the bottom of the toy car.Driven by curiosity, she clicked on the website and found a video of a toy car crashing into an aquarium.In the video, Jae-jin's license plate number was clearly displayed on the toy car, which made her realize that Jae-jin might be facing a huge danger.
After Si Jiang learned of this situation, he went to the police station with Young Won and revealed the truth about Kang Cheng's nephew Seung Jae installing a camera in the clinic.It turns out that Kang Cheng was behind all this.Faced with this fact, although Si Jiang was heartbroken, he finally chose to forgive and withdrew the accusation against Seung Jae.
In order to find out the whereabouts of Jae-jin, Young-won decided to use Kyung-tai's help.She invited Jingtai to the clinic for consultation, hoping to find clues through him.Kyung-tae had seen Jae-jin’s photo on Dr. Oh’s phone, so he offered to help find it.At the same time, he is also worried about the increasingly tense relationship between Yingyuan and Sijiang.On the other side, Sijiang also entrusted Kangcheng to pay close attention to the progress of Jingtai's investigation into the disappearance of Dr. Wu.
Kyung-tai and Kang-sung teamed up to track the whereabouts of the vehicle driven by Jae-jin.And Yingyuan accidentally met Taeo at home, who came to help Daoxian with her homework.Seeing that Daoxian was worried about family matters, she decided to propose that Daoxian travel with her to relax.
The next day, Kyung-tae showed the surveillance video to Young-won, revealing the trajectory of Jae-jin’s actions.The video shows Jae Jin with Se Na, not Dr. Oh.This discovery made Young-won more determined to find Jae-jin.She decided to go to the place where Zai Zhen was last seen to find out.At the same time, Sijiang also learned the specific location of Zaizhen through Kangcheng, and met Yingyuan on the road.The two decided to put aside their past differences and work together to continue tracking Jae Jin's whereabouts.
They arrive at Jae-jin's island and find that Jae-jin has already taken the ferry there.Sijiang and Yingyuan followed without hesitation, and Kangcheng and Yingmin also joined them.On the island, they had a video call with Dr. Wu.At this time, Dr. Wu had regained consciousness, but she screamed hysterically: “We are all going to die!No, my Jae Jin will die!”Her words were full of panic and despair, making everyone present shudder.
On the ferry, Si Jiang revealed a shocking secret: she actually knew the truth from the beginning of Jae Jin's extramarital affair.She has been secretly observing their movements, and even paid for Se Na to break up with Jae Jin, mistakenly thinking that they had ended their unholy relationship.However, now it seems that her idea was too naive.
After arriving on the island, they went to a restaurant where Jae Jin and Se Na were said to have been seen.The restaurant owner confirmed their whereabouts, and the news made them more determined to find Jae Jin.However, just then, a boy brought shocking news: a car was found to have sunk into the sea.Yingyuan and others rushed to the scene and were shocked to find that the rented car was driven by Jae Jin.At this point, something heavy falls from the car, bringing a thrilling end to the episode.
During the anniversary that Jae Jin and Young Won celebrated together, although the two enjoyed a good time, they were never able to escape the constant surveillance of the Sabang gang.
Young-won and her team accidentally discovered Jae-jin's missing car, and surprisingly, no body was found in the car.The police later questioned the two women and informed them that Zai Zhen's car was seen driving into the port area.
While tracking Jae-jin and Se-na, investigators found the room where the two had lived together and discovered that one month's rent had been paid in advance.In the room, a suicide note from Jae Jin was visible, and his deep regret for his extreme behavior was revealed between the lines.
Although the police now tend to believe that Jae Jin committed suicide, Si Jiang insists that she intuitively believed that her son was still alive.After hearing the news, Yingmin also rushed to the police station and showed extreme hysteria at the news of Jae Jin's suicide.The police and family members reviewed the surveillance video of Zai Zhen's actions, but did not find any valuable clues.
Sijiang decided to stay and continue to search for his son's whereabouts, while Yingyuan chose to return to her son.Facing the so-called “family”, she felt deeply betrayed and disappointed.When she dialed the phone at home, Wen Taiwu answered the phone, and there seemed to be an unknown secret hidden in his tone.
Early the next morning, Ying-won sent Da-hyun to school and noticed that the object of his crush was smiling tenderly at him.Recalling the number 6 marked next to Dohyun's photo in the family photo, she felt an inexplicable emotion in her heart.Later, she visits Dr. Oh to try to find out more about Jae Jin.However, Dr. Oh said she knew nothing about Jae Jin and only mentioned that she followed him to the vacation house that night, where she was hit in the head by Lee Se Na, who whispered that they would both face death.
Meanwhile, Si Jiang speculates that since Jae Jin never left the port, he may have traveled further afield.So Si Jiang and Kang Sung teamed up to investigate and eventually found a ferryman who claimed to have carried Jae Jin and Se Na across the river.After paying the fee, they decided to follow the couple's trail.
On the other hand, Yingyuan is also trying to find more clues about her husband.She carefully reviewed the surgical files and surveillance footage and discovered that all data had been deleted.However, after recovering the surveillance video through technical means, she was shocked to find that Jae-jin had never undergone any surgery, he just stood or sat quietly with headphones on.Just then, she received a photo of the watch that Jae Jin gave her on her anniversary, which made her instantly collapse.
Early the next morning, a phone call from the bank broke the tranquility.Young-won is horrified to discover that someone has terminated their capital account at another branch.At the same time, news spread like wildfire about Young-won's family conflicts and her connection to Mr. Choi's suicide.
Later, in the office, Yingyuan carefully analyzed the surveillance video.She was surprised to find that Jae-jin's emotions in the video were too cheerful, which was far from the psychological state of a suicidal person.She began to wonder if it was all just an elaborate escape.At this moment, she received a video in which Jae-jin pushed his rental car into the sea at the port and said: Se Na, I think I can be really happy now.%Obviously, Jae Jin's death was not as simple as it seemed, but a carefully planned conspiracy.
As news spread that Young-won was involved in the suicide case, reporters flocked to her office and home.On the way home, she also saw a video of Sijiang refuting rumors of her son's death in front of the camera.It was revealed that Se Na and Jae Jin were caught on surveillance video as Sa Kang and Kang Sung landed on the other side of the ferry.
Si Jiang and Ying Yuan meet unexpectedly. Ying Yuan coldly expresses that Jae Jin is like a dead person in her heart and she decides not to get involved in this case.
Meanwhile, in a hotel room, Se Na angrily watches Sae Kang’s video while Jae Jin takes a dip in the pool.She dialed his number, not out of concern, but pushed him into the water and tried to kill him.
The tense episode begins with Lee Se Na being investigated by the police for allegedly setting a fire that resulted in the death of her third partner.An in-depth analysis of Se Na's narcissistic tendencies and her distorted concept of love.Se Na was so angry that her friend took away her birthday cake without authorization that she pushed her into the fire, causing tragedy.In addition, although Se Na's parents and sister were killed in the car accident, the truth about the incident is still confusing and full of questions.
As the plot progresses, the relationship between Se Na and Young Won seems to be more complicated than initially imagined.When viewers saw Se Na watching one of Young Won's TV shows, they couldn't help but imagine themselves as a participant in the show.In the program, Young-won encourages participants to sever harmful family relationships and points out the inappropriateness of certain behaviors.However, these remarks offended Se Na, and she was secretly angry: "What kind of family environment do you live in to make such a decision?"“
From that moment on, Se Na becomes determined to prove Young Won’s misconceptions.She visits Jae-jin's clinic as a patient and gradually wins his trust by expressing sympathy.In an in-depth conversation, Jae Jin revealed his heart, revealing that his mother had made a huge sacrifice for him, so he could not refuse the life path his mother had planned for him - becoming a doctor.Although he has a deep fear of blood, he still feels that Yingyuan cannot understand his difficulties.
In a disturbing scene, Se Na feeds a flock of pigeons, then brutally beheads one of them and delivers the head to Young Won.In addition, she continued to approach Yingyuan as a patient, secretly monitoring and tracking Yingyuan's family, and collecting their secrets for future use.
On the special day of their first wedding anniversary, Dr. Wu followed Jae Jin's whereabouts, but was accidentally bumped into by Se Na.Se Na immediately accused Dr. Oh of trying to harm Jae Jin and successfully persuaded Jae Jin to leave the vacation home.She even comes up with a daring plan - to fake Jae-jin's death so that he can break free and regain his freedom.After weighing the pros and cons, Jae Jin finally agreed to the plan.However, when Se Na attempts to commit murder in the hotel swimming pool, she notices room service staff around and has to abandon the operation.
The scene switches to the conversation scene between Yingyuan and Sijiang.Yingyuan decided to devote herself to saving her son. She made it clear that she no longer wanted to have anything to do with Jae Jin.At the same time, Doxian also discovered his father's extramarital affair, and he firmly stood on his mother's side.In the show, Yingyuan sincerely appealed to viewers to stay kind-hearted and not spread malicious rumors about other people's families.
In the ”Soft Hands noodle shop, Si Jiang instructed Kang Cheng to bring back the items left by Se Na from the holiday home.While sorting out these items, they unexpectedly discovered a suspense novel by Si Jiang.Later, Yingmin visited Sa Jiang and revealed that since Yingyuan's father passed away, she has been taking care of Jaejin's family wholeheartedly, but neglected her mother and younger brother.
Back at Cui's house, Khmer's secretary handed a courier box to Yingyuan.After Yingyuan opened the box, she was surprised to find that there was another book by Si Jiang inside.She suspected that Se Na was trying to reveal her family's secrets, so she visited Si Jiang again with this important clue.Faced with Yingyuan's doubts, Sijiang firmly denied the possibility of lying.She believes that Se Na targeted her family probably because some plots in her novels touched Se Na's sensitive nerves.The two women decided to join forces to protect their children from harm.Later, Si Jiang decided to search Se Na's residence personally to find more clues.
In another scene, Young-won secretly follows Do-hyun and discovers that he has been hiding the truth from her.It turns out that he did not go to a private college, but stayed with Tai Wu and his girlfriend.This discovery made Yingyuan more suspicious of Taiwu.
In order to solve the mystery, Yingmin conducted an in-depth background investigation on Taiwu.The investigation revealed that Taiwu did attend a well-known university and had a good reputation.However, at this moment, Dr. Wu visited Cui's house when Si Jiang was not at home.After she met Tae-oh, Tae-oh cleverly deceived her into saying that Jae-jin was deeply in love with her.However, when Dr. Wu met with Sa Jiang, she was fired from the clinic.It turns out that Sijiang has seen through Dr. Wu's true purpose - she is trying to destroy Yingyuan and Jaejin's marriage and replace it.
As night falls, Sijiang leads Yingyuan and Kangcheng to Se Na's residence to search.They discover disturbing portraits and artwork in Se Na's room, which seem to hide Se Na's inner twistedness and madness.On the way home, Se Na was witnessed burning photos of the Cui family in a hidden corner.At this moment, Zai Zhen also quietly returned home.However, Yingyuan did not give him any warm welcome.She locked the car door indifferently, stopped Si Jiang from leaving, and then drove straight into Jae Jin.
Young-won's efforts to fit in with the Choi family and seek recognition are told in flashback.During this process, Si Jiang seemed a little troubled and puzzled by the deep love shown by Khmer and Jae Jin for her.
The scene switches to reality, Se Na persuades Jae Jin to return, since their plan has failed.Although Jae-jin refuses at first, we later find him standing outside his house. Young-won speeds up in a car with the intention of running into him. Fortunately, Jae-jin reacts quickly and gets out of the way in time.
Inside, Jae-jin follows Do-hyun into a conversation, while Tae-oh explains to Young-won that the reason why Do-hyun was absent from class the day before was because he planned to introduce his girlfriend to Young-won's mother.Later, Se Na, Young Won's mother and Jae Jin sat around to talk. However, before Jae Jin elaborated on the reasons for his ghost surgery, Young Won left the meeting angrily.
The next day, Ying-won set out to investigate Se-na's background information. At the same time, Se-na visited an orphanage.There, she met a little girl who was abandoned by her biological mother, and said to her affectionately: "You also promised me that you would hate those who abandoned you."“
At the same time, Dr. Wu and Kyung-tae searched around the clinic for the whereabouts of Jae-jin.At this time, Wen Tae-o appears and informs them that Jae-jin has returned safely.In the ensuing private conversation, Theo skillfully led Dr. Oh to believe that Jae-jin was in deep trouble and urgently needed her help.The next day, Jae-jin carefully prepared a banquet and invited Dr. Wu, Ying-won's brother and his aunt to participate in the grand event.He specially prepares his favorite dishes to reveal how his mother forced him to become a surgeon, the ghost surgery he was forced to perform, the truth behind Young-won's father's death, and how Si-kang plotted Young-won and Jae-jin.The inside story of how it all came together.
After the guests have dispersed, Jae-jin packs his bags and prepares to leave, despite Young-won's efforts to dissuade him, telling him that Se-na is mentally manipulating him.The facts gradually emerged. It turned out that Se Na encouraged Jae Jin to confess the truth to her family, but her real purpose was to destroy Ying Yuan's faith.With Yingyuan and Sijiang hotly pursuing him, Zaizhen resolutely heads to the airport.
However, during the long wait at the airport, Se Na never showed up to meet Jae Jin.Instead, she secretly met with Khmer's secretary, who had a long-standing relationship with Se Na and had been working with her to plan a revenge plan for Ying-won's mother.Realizing that Se Na would not come as promised, Jae Jin chose to settle down at the clinic instead.
Young-won also followed Jae-jin to the clinic and checked Jae-jin's cell phone while he was absent-minded.She keenly noticed from Se Na's text messages that Se Na might be secretly monitoring the Cui family's every move.This discovery shocked Yingyuan. She immediately launched a search in her house and found spy cameras scattered everywhere.
Meanwhile, Si Jiang visits Kang Sang, where she reveals the fact that Kang Sang has been working closely with her father for a long time.Si Jiang confided to Kang Shang her anxiety and uneasiness about her hatred of Zai Zhen, because she knew that she had also hated her father.
The next day, Kyung-tai brought relevant clips from the investigation of Se-na's third husband's death, and based on this, he speculated that Se-na might be suspected of killing her family because she had inconsistencies in her statement of the cause of her family's death.
Soon after, Jingtai sent a text message to Se Na, asking directly: ”Why did you kill your most beloved sister?%This text message panicked Se Na, and she hurriedly dialed Yingyuan's mother's phone number.At this time, Yingyuan's mother was sitting in front of a spy camera arranged by Se Na, calmly and firmly launching a formal challenge to her.
It begins with a flashback, revealing that Si Jiang lost his beloved son, but unexpectedly encountered the abandoned Zai Zhen in the place of his Khmer mistress.From this, the mystery of Zai Zhen's life experience is revealed - he is not Si Jiang's biological flesh and blood, but Si Jiang carries this secret and is deeply afraid of being known.
After a fight with Se Na, Young Won reveals the existence of the spy camera to Si Jiang.Sijiang immediately summoned the housekeeping staff and Secretary An, solemnly informed them about the spy camera, and told them to be highly vigilant against outsiders.Meanwhile, Dr. Oh personally visits Jae-jin at the clinic, hoping to win his favor by curing him.
On the other side, Yingyuan and Yongmin visited their mother together. During this period, Yingyuan confessed her heart and told how she worked hard to maintain the family's financial stability after her father passed away and worked hard to win the favor of the Cui family.She also revealed Se Na's threats to her to Yong-min, and the two then went to the police station responsible for investigating the fire in Se Na's childhood home.There, they were surprised to find that Officer Cha mentioned Se Na as the culprit of the arson many times, but the case was closed in a hurry without any further investigation.
Daoxian's girlfriend Su Yi visited Yingyuan in the office and frankly told her that she was pregnant with Daoxian's child, and expressed her desire to leave a child with Daoxian and live abroad.Su Yi implored Ying Yuan to communicate with her mother.After Yingyuan told Si Jiang about the incident, Si Jiang immediately rushed to the clinic to tell Jae Jin the news and encouraged him to cheer up.Doctor Wu watched them leave anxiously.
Jae-jin returned home and had an in-depth conversation with his son, ultimately giving him unwavering support.At the same time, Dr. Wu's mental condition became increasingly unstable. She stared at the photos of the Cui family, cut and pasted herself into them, and fell into delusion.At this time, she received a text message from Taiwu, encouraging her to save Jae-jin.
Yingyuan and Sijiang were invited to meet Su Yi's mother, and Sijiang offered to use money as bait to persuade her to give up the child.Suey's mother seemed moved at first, but then left in anger because she felt humiliated.Sijiang immediately assigned Kang Cheng to investigate Su Yi's family background and found that Su Yi's family was in trouble after her father went bankrupt.
After the meeting, Young-won, Kyung-min, and Seung-jae visited Officer Cha, who now runs the deer farm.Officer Cha revealed to them that Se Na's sister narrowly escaped the fire, but news of her death spread before she recovered.She once identified Se Na as the arsonist to Officer Cha. However, before Officer Cha took action, Se Na had been adopted by a family in Norway, and the case was dropped.Officer Cha also provided Ying-won with Se-na’s address in Norway.
Young-won returns home and finds Do-hyun glaring at her, asking her if she would give money in exchange for an abortion.It turned out that Sue's family left a guarantee letter stating the transaction.At the same time, Young-won's mother also angrily came to Si Jiang and asked her not to interfere in her son's affairs, insisting that she would educate Do Hyun in a completely different way from how Si Jiang raised Jae Jin.However, after some communication, she finally expressed to Daoxian that she would fully support his decision, and the relationship between mother and son was restored.
Young-won goes to the monastery to find Se-na's sister in order to uncover more truth.The scene then cuts to an interview in which Young-won reveals the shocking truth about Se-na’s crime.She sent the recording of the interview to Se Na and threatened that if she wanted to prevent the recording from becoming public, she would have to meet her in person at the broadcast studio.Se Na hurriedly came to find her sister, but was told: “This is all lies, your sister has passed away long ago.”In anger, Se Na pinched Yingyuan's neck tightly.
Young-won investigates further and comes to the church where Se-na's sister once lived, and learns that her sister died of severe post-traumatic stress disorder and other complications in the years after the fire.
Se Na's twisted love drove her to take extreme actions. She deliberately set fire to her parents' room in an attempt to make her sister more dependent on her after their parents passed away.However, when her sister rushed into the fire regardless of her own safety, Se Na lost her memory due to shock.
With these clues, Yingyuan carefully planned an operation to capture Se Na.In the studio, she arranged for an actor to cleverly play Se Na's sister and successfully lured Se Na to show up.Just as Se Na tried to harm Ying Yuan, Jingtai and Ying Yuan's team members quickly arrived and successfully subdued Se Na.
In the interrogation room, Se Na cleverly manipulates the conversation to try to shift the blame onto Young Won, accusing her of being resentful because of Jae Jin's relationship with her.But after Ying-won talked with Se-na, she began to doubt her, thinking that she might be hiding a deeper hatred.
At the same time, Si Jiang discovers the unusual relationship between Secretary An and Se Na.She cleverly took advantage of Kang Cheng's opportunity to get Secretary An drunk, sneaked into his car, and revealed the truth about their collusion through the driving recorder.She then shows the video to Jae-jin and Young-won, leaving Jae-jin shocked at Se-na's betrayal.On the next day, Si Jiang and Ying Yuan confronted Secretary An and persuaded him to testify with conclusive evidence.However, what is unexpected is that Secretary An took all the blame on himself, resulting in Se Na being acquitted.
On the other hand, Yingyuan received an unexpected visitor in her office - Daoxian and his girlfriend.They confessed to Young-won their desire to move abroad.However, after they left, Young-won received a mysterious message, implying that the sender had Do-hyun's secret.After some questioning and communication, Yingyuan successfully persuaded Daoxian to confess everything.Daoxian finally admitted that his pregnancy was a lie, that what he really liked was the same sex, and planned to go abroad to spend the rest of his life with Taiwu.This news shocked Yingyuan, but she still expressed her support for Daoxian.
At the same time, the relationship between Jae Jin and Si Jiang also experienced twists and turns.Jae Jin accuses Si Jiang of being too controlling, while Si Jiang is shocked by Jae Jin's knowledge of the truth about his parents.The conversation made the relationship between the two awkward and distant.
In the days that followed, Yingyuan revealed the truth about Daoxian to the outside world.In his conversation with Jae Jin, Do Hyun revealed that Tae Oh had warned him that Young Won would not understand his choice, so he chose to hide it.This news made Jae Jin furious. He found the drunk Tai Wu and had a fierce argument with him.During the dispute, Tae-oh's identity was revealed - he was not the son of senior Jae-jin, but the origin between the two remained a mystery.
Soon after, Young-won received a text message about the location while hosting the show.She followed the instructions and came to the holiday house, but unexpectedly found that Secretary An had been killed, while Si Jiang stood aside with the murder weapon.This series of events plunged Yingyuan into deep confusion.
The camera goes back to Sijiang's memories, showing her hard work and selflessness for her family.She specially prepared wine for Young-won and Jae-jin’s anniversary without any ill intentions.She even personally visited Yingyuan's mother to give gifts and emphasized the importance of family happiness.
Back to reality, Sijiang received a mysterious text message leading her to the vacation home.However, she suffered a sudden attack, and the appearance of a masked man made the situation confusing.When Yingyuan rushed to the scene, she was shocked to find Sijiang next to the murder weapon and secretary An lying in a pool of blood.Although Sijiang insisted that he was not the murderer, the two were still taken away by the police to assist in the investigation.As they were leaving, a meaningful look was exchanged between the police officer and Se Na.
During the investigation, both Sijiang and Yingyuan insisted that they were innocent.After a series of investigations, Yingyuan was released, while Sijiang was listed as the main suspect due to evidence at the scene and continued to be detained.During the visit, Sijiang revealed to Yingyuan that the person who attacked her was a man, and Yingyuan vowed to clear her grievances.
At the same time, the meeting between Tai Wu and Dr. Wu was even more undercurrent.Tae-oh subtly hints that Jae-jin would have been freed long ago had it not been for Si-jiang's fault, thus stimulating Dr. Oh's hostility towards Si-jiang.
At Cui's house, Jae-jin expressed his sincere apology to Young-won, and the two decided to work together to overcome the current predicament.Yingyuan's younger brother Yingmin and Zaizhen's aunt came after hearing the news and were shocked by Sijiang's arrest.Jiang Cheng also learned about this. He visited Si Jiang and promised to find strong evidence for her to prove Se Na's crime.
The police subsequently visited Cui's home and interviewed family members and employees who had close relations with Sijiang.In order to cooperate with the investigation, Yingyuan temporarily dismissed all employees, including Taiwu.When Tai Wu left, he suggested to the police to question Dr. Wu. During the inquiry, Dr. Wu actually said that Si Jiang had the ability to kill.
Under Jae-jin's detailed explanation, Young-won gradually unveiled Taiwu's lies.Jae-jin revealed that he met Tae-oh while receiving psychological counseling, and Tae-oh tried to manipulate Do-hyun into thinking that his family could not understand him.This discovery made Yingyuan deeply suspicious of Taiwu.
Based on Dr. Wu's testimony, the police issued an arrest warrant for Sijiang.During Yingyuan's visit again, the two strengthened their determination to protect their families.At the same time, Jiang Cheng was investigating near the holiday home and found that a man entered the villa on the day of the crime.
Under the leadership of Jae-jin, Young-min and Seung-jae conducted an in-depth investigation into Tae-oh's university background and revealed that the real Tae-oh was not this person.Young-won checked her patient files and discovered a child named Oh Ji-hwan who was suffering from mental illness due to domestic violence.After further investigation, they discovered that Taiwu's real name was Wu Taihuan, and he was the brother of Wu Jihuan in Yingyuan's patient file.
Jae-jin's team visited the orphanage that Se-na often visited and learned that Tae-oh, who goes by the pseudonym Thomas, was also a frequent visitor there.After connecting a series of clues, they confirmed Taiwu's true identity and realized that he was the brother in Yingyuan's patient file.Yingyuan received a portrait of the suspect, which exactly matched Taiwu's appearance. She was convinced that Taiwu was the real murderer.
The nun informs Se Na about Jae Jin’s visit.During Se Na's meeting with Tae Oh, she revealed the two's plan to jointly bring down Young Won.However, Secretary An's death was Taiwu's unilateral decision.Se Na persuades Tae Oh to escape, and he reluctantly accepts the advice.
However, just as Taiwu was about to board the departure bus, he received a text message from Daoxian: “You are right.My mother wouldn't accept me.Come here and save me.” Taiwu mistakenly thought that he had successfully manipulated Daoxian, so he got out of the car and headed to Cui's house.However, this text message is actually a trap to lure Taiwu.At the same time, Se Na placed key evidence in Tae Oh's apartment and anonymously reported it to the police.At Cui's house, Young-won has a fierce confrontation with Tae-oh, and she reveals all of Tae-oh's secrets and real name.
