She was the illegitimate daughter of a wealthy family—abandoned by her father, oppressed by his legal wife, and humiliated by the so-called sister. She watched her mother perish in a raging fire and was thrown into the flames herself.
Her name was Janice. And she died in that fire.
Ten years later, under a new identity and the name “Janet,” she survives in silence. Forced by her stepmother to marry a wealthy heir rumored to be "paralyzed and disabled," she becomes entangled in a vicious struggle of family betrayal and ruthless power games.
With cold eyes, she watches the hypocrites who once trampled her into the mud—one by one, they will become prey on her road to revenge.
Her wheelchair-bound "husband" Philip, the feuding brothers Charles and August… But what she didn't expect was that the boy who once quietly handed her a handkerchief all those years ago would become the most unpredictable piece in her game of fate.
She has returned—not for hatred, but to personally end the past that was once crushed beneath their feet.

The moment Janet was wheeled out of the operating room, August quietly slipped away. He lingered silently by the stairwell in the corridor, lighting a cigarette before pulling out his phone. Without hesitation, he dialed the number saved under "1."


His voice carried a trace of exhaustion—and something darker beneath it. Since it was Charles's child, a spark of malicious intent ignited in August's heart. He now had another bargaining chip to use against Charles. But deep down, he hesitated—he didn't want to hurt an innocent woman. Yet, there was no turning back now.


Whatever Manfred said didn't register. After hanging up, August moved mechanically out of the hospital.
