Story Guide

Episode 1

Evelyn dies on her wedding day — her gown in flames, her husband Edward watching while another woman tells her the truth. Iris, the friend she called a sister, admits she tampered with the dress and says Edward knew and let it happen so they could take everything. Then comes the worse blow: Evelyn's parents are dead, killed for a single gold coin after Edward convinced her to cut them off.

As she burns, Evelyn swears that if she gets another life, they will pay. Then she wakes to a familiar voice: Edward, on one knee, asking her to marry him. She is back on the very night it all began.

Episode 2

Evelyn remembers how little it once took. A cheap iron ring, a few sweet words, and she said yes — a choice that cost her everything. Now her parents are the ones objecting, refusing to let their daughter marry a commoner. Edward plays the wounded suitor, insisting his love is worth more than their gold.

Then he leans on the old trick, telling Evelyn to choose between him and them. In her last life, that line made her abandon her family. This time she stays quiet, watching him perform. Her father is one of the highest-ranking dukes in the kingdom — and Edward has no idea who he is really speaking to.

Episode 3

Edward pushes once more, asking if Evelyn will stand by while her parents humiliate him. Her answer is a slap. He reels, stunned that the lovesick girl who obeyed his every word has turned on him.

Her parents are delighted, urging her not to say yes to a man like that. Iris, watching from the side, is just as shaken — Evelyn used to treat her like a closest sister. Evelyn cuts her down too, reminding the servant she has no right to speak to her that way.

Then, to everyone's shock, Evelyn accepts Edward's proposal. She says it plainly: her revenge has only just begun.

Episode 4

Edward and Iris huddle to figure out what changed. She was so easy to fool before — a little false comfort, and she called Iris her dearest sister. Now she slaps people and speaks like a duke's daughter. Still, Edward reasons, she accepted him in the end. That is all that matters; once they marry, her fortune is his to take piece by piece.

Iris brings Evelyn a wedding gown she claims to have sewn herself, stitch by stitch, as a gift. Evelyn recognizes it instantly — the same gown that burned her alive. She thanks Iris warmly and promises to wear it.

Episode 5

Edward refuses to wear a wedding gown — it is for women, and every guest will laugh at him. Evelyn cuts her arm with a knife, showing him the wound, and insists the gown must be worn by someone to hide it. She reminds him the dress was Iris's gift, and she cannot bear to hurt her sister.

When Edward still balks, she delivers the threat: if he cannot grant this one small wish, then he does not love her, and perhaps they should call off the wedding. He cannot afford that. He agrees.

Episode 6

Edward stands miserably in the gown, certain he looks ridiculous. Evelyn soothes him, then hands him a veil — cover your face, and no one will see you. He thanks her for thinking of everything and steps out first, while she stays behind, supposedly preparing papers to transfer her fortune to him. He believes it completely.

Iris waits for noon, counting down, sure the sunlight will ignite the white phosphorus on the gown — and that Evelyn is the one wearing it. The flames come. Someone screams for Iris to save them. Iris turns, and it is not Evelyn at all.

The trap has closed on the wrong bride. Watch how far Evelyn's revenge goes next.
