This Time, I Won't Marry You

Episode 1

Julian has known for a long time that his wife Vicky was quietly moving his family's money around. He told himself it was because her own family had gone bankrupt and she needed to feel safe. Then the truth lands: she never loved him. She blames him for tearing her away from Harry, the man she always wanted, and she and Harry have been spending Julian's money while using his company to build up their own.

What breaks him is the confession about his mother. Harry and Vicky admit they were behind her fall down the stairs, and they mock the sound it made. When Julian lunges at them, they call it self-defense and leave him to die. His last thought is a promise: if there is another life, he will make them pay.

Episode 2

Julian wakes with a jolt. The date is May 13, one week before he is supposed to marry Vicky. He is alive, and he is back. Vicky is already snapping at him for ignoring her, threatening him the way she always did.

This time Julian doesn't flinch. He tells her plainly that seeing her dressed up makes him sick, and when she raises her hand, he warns her that one slap and he pulls his money out of her family's company. He even offers to call her father and cancel the engagement outright. Then Harry walks in, all smiles and coincidence, and Julian silently decides to give the two of them exactly what they want.

Episode 3

Harry arrives playing the concerned friend, and Vicky immediately runs to him with her complaints. Julian watches the little performance and wonders how he ever mistook it for innocent childhood closeness.

Then Harry introduces his own fiancée: Rachel, a wealthy heiress. Julian recognizes her name from the life he already lived — in that timeline she died in a fall, and Harry took over her family's company. Harry, it turns out, is capable of destroying even the woman carrying his child.

Julian keeps his face calm. When Vicky sulks off to change dresses, he notes the two of them trading looks right in front of him and thinks they have no idea how little time they have left.

Episode 4

Away from the others, Vicky clings to Harry and complains she can't stand another day beside Julian. Harry soothes her, blaming his family's low standing for keeping them apart, then lets slip a secret: Julian is negotiating a land deal worth 350 million. If Harry bids first, the whole project could be his.

Vicky calls him her lucky star. They joke about taking over both family fortunes, about making Julian kneel at their door like a dog, about spending his money and using his bed. Julian, listening, has heard enough. He tells them coldly that this time he'll send them down himself — then turns to Rachel and asks her to step outside with him.

Episode 5

Outside, Julian admits he knows about Harry and Vicky's affair — he simply knew sooner than Rachel did. She demands to know why he let them play their game, and why either of them should go through with these weddings.

Julian lays it out: if they expose the affair now, the cheaters walk away free and marry each other anyway, while he and Rachel lose everything. Harry and Vicky aren't just sneaking around — they plan to swallow both families' companies. Rachel asks what he has in mind. Julian's answer is simple: let them believe they've won, right up until the wedding day, and then let them see that what they fought for is worthless.

Episode 6

Back with the others, Harry asks what Julian and Rachel were discussing. Julian mentions the wedding dates — Rachel's on the twenty-first, his on the twentieth — and sighs that it's a shame they're one day apart.

Then he makes the offer: since they've all known each other so long, why not hold both weddings on the same day, a joint traditional ceremony with two couples bowing together? Harry freezes. Vicky's face flickers with barely hidden delight at the idea of sharing a wedding day with Harry. She agrees instantly. Julian watches her say yes and quietly notes that this time he's giving her exactly what she asked for.

Episode 7

Vicky pushes Harry to accept the shared date, thrilled at the thought of standing beside him in front of everyone. Harry hesitates — Julian changing the date so suddenly should raise alarms — but Vicky insists it's the perfect cover, a chance to humiliate Julian publicly.

Harry talks himself into it: Julian has been oblivious for years, so what could he possibly be planning? He still needs Vicky to help him drain the company. He agrees. Vicky thanks him sweetly, and Julian, watching from a distance, thinks that she wanted Harry so badly — this time he's handing them both over, and he hopes she enjoys the surprise when it comes.

Episode 8

Wedding day. Julian's people confirm the bride has arrived, and he goes to meet her personally. Guests file in as the ceremony is announced.

Julian is calm, almost cheerful. He tells himself Harry and Vicky should get ready to receive his wedding gift. To Harry's face he says he'll take good care of the heiress Harry was counting on, and that Harry can keep Vicky, the woman he always wanted. Harry, meanwhile, is already dreaming out loud: once the companies are merged and the money is in his hands, his family will be the most powerful in the city. Neither of them notices the trap closing.

Episode 9

The ceremony begins. The couples bow to heaven and earth, to their parents, and to each other, while Harry's mind runs the same greedy loop — Julian's fortune, the heiress, the company, all soon to be his.

Vicky can't resist needling Julian even now, asking why he won't just help her family for free, still blaming him for separating her from Harry. Julian only smiles and tells her to smile wider, because soon she won't be able to.

Then the moment arrives: the veils come up, the couples are told to kiss. Harry moves first. And Vicky calls out to Harry.
