Fated Reunoin

Episode 1

Evelyn has no memory of the last year — a car accident erased it all, and Old Mr. Victor saved her and took her in as his grandson's wife. Tomorrow she is set to marry a grandson she has never met, a man said to have a terrible temper.

On her last free night, she meets a masked stranger. She calls masked men in places like this hypocrites, not gentlemen. He fires back that the lady threw herself at him first. Neither gives ground, and neither shares a name.

Tomorrow she is supposed to marry a man with a terrible temper. Tonight she has no idea she is already standing in front of him. Will she learn the truth before the wedding?

Episode 2

Morning comes, and the two agree to walk out the door and act like professionals, parting as strangers. She tells him his half-baked moves aren't enough to make her linger, and he tells her not to flatter herself.

Then Julian moves first. He calls the arranged marriage absurd and refuses to go through with it, telling the other side not to flatter itself. But a message arrives: the lady's side has already sent a formal rejection of the marriage. She rejected him before he could reject her, and he almost respects the move.

Neither realizes Old Mr. Victor has already completed the legal marriage registration — they are husband and wife.

Episode 3

Evelyn has no intention of marrying a man she has never even seen. She confirms the rejection letter was sent and dumps the young master outright, declaring that without his family's support, she can thrive on her own.

She has laid low long enough. It is time to relaunch her design career, and her next stop is an interview at Nuya group.

Rushing in, she collides with someone — and it is Julian again. He needles her about chasing him onto his turf. She fires back that narcissism is a disease and he should get it treated. She is only here for a job interview, and running into him is just bad luck.

Episode 4

Evelyn learns the man she spent the night with is the CEO of Nuya. She tells him his HR department clearly needs an overhaul if it lets just anyone through the door, and insists she came for the industry potential, not his face.

Julian warns her that Nuya doesn't keep dead weight, and she promises her talent will give him far more than his money's worth. He sends her to the design department — starting from the bottom as an assistant.

The welcome is brutal. Colleagues whisper that she pulled strings, that she probably can't even read a blueprint. Valerie hands her a pile of discarded fabric swatches and a deadline: finish by end of day, or get out.

Episode 5

Valerie presents the finalized design draft for Nuya's new season flagship — and Evelyn spots it immediately: this is plagiarism. She points to the cutting technique, the gradient treatment, the hidden cinch waistline, all bearing the signature of top designer Anna.

The room turns on her. Valerie accuses her of jealousy and sabotage, and Julian warns that false accusations will bring the legal department down on her.

Evelyn doesn't blink. This isn't even one of Anna's published works — it's from her unreleased archive. She knows every line Anna has ever drawn, and this blueprint is missing the hidden boning Anna always builds into a large skirt. Put it into production and the gown would collapse on the wearer. The design is scrapped, and Valerie loses her quarterly bonus.

Episode 6

Julian admits the eye and draftsmanship Evelyn just displayed are not something an ordinary fan could pull off. He takes back his "dead weight" remark and apologizes for his arrogance, then transfers her into the design department as a full designer.

She accepts — with one condition. She handles designs only, no extra services like drinking with clients. He agrees, and privately orders Miles to dig up everything on Evelyn's background, no matter how deep it is buried.

Valerie is seething. With a key client meeting looming, she assigns Evelyn to sign the contract with Mr. Curie alone — a setup meant to end badly.

Episode 7

Valerie hands Evelyn Nuya's most important deal of the quarter: the annual supply contract with Curie group, to be signed alone. Evelyn promises to bring it back signed and impeccable.

Mr. Curie has no interest in business. He invites her to play a few rounds, then suggests they discuss the contract in more depth in his private changing room. She keeps her guard up — these hands hold a paintbrush, not a golf club.

He has already decided she is on his turf and won't walk away. He plans to lure her into the VIP changing room and lock the door. Evelyn has walked straight into the trap Valerie built for her.

Episode 8

Alone with Mr. Curie, Evelyn refuses to give in. He offers her the deal's commission — enough to support her for three years — and she fires back that coercing a woman is a crime that will land him in prison.

He laughs it off. Around here, he says, he is the law, and she is just a powerless little assistant — even if she died here today, Nuya wouldn't dare offend him over her.

Evelyn doesn't flinch. She tells him Nuya's legal team is backed by the top lawyers of the Jackios group. If he lays a finger on her, by tomorrow the Curie group's scandals will be global headlines and he will be ruined and in jail.

Episode 9

The threat turns real. Mr. Curie moves to trap her, and Evelyn screams for help. Julian arrives, shoving his way in — and Curie's nerve collapses the moment he recognizes who he is facing.

Curie begs, claiming he had no idea she was with Julian. Julian doesn't negotiate. He orders Miles to put the Curie group into bankruptcy liquidation within one day and to wipe the name from the city entirely.

Then he delivers the message Curie needs to hear: Evelyn is a designer personally chosen by Nuya — not some lackey for just anyone to bully.

Episode 10

Shaken, Evelyn is told to bear with it, that it will be over soon — and next time, just run instead of facing danger head-on. She breaks down, saying she has a husband she has never even met, signed away by others, and he doesn't care about her.

Julian overhears enough to wonder: was she also forced into a marriage with someone she has never seen? He tucks her in and says her name softly.

The next day, Valerie tries to fire Evelyn for failing to sign the Curie contract and offending the client. Julian shuts it down — the Curie group is already bankrupt. He tells Evelyn she only needs to focus on designing, and no one can force her to do anything she doesn't want to.
