001
The episode opens as Yvonne desperately begs her mother-in-law not to take her daughter, Tina. Her husband, Simon, calls her a disgrace and declares Tina will now be raised by his mother, leading to a heart-wrenching separation. After their child is taken, Simon tells Yvonne that now he holds a high position, he needs a wife with an untarnished reputation and demands she give up her place. As he leaves, Yvonne confronts him, forcing him to remember the truth of his rise and her ruined reputation.
002
Yvonne learns from her husband Simon that the Emperor desires her because she resembles his lost love. Desperate to avoid being taken, she threatens to disfigure herself, but Simon insists she must obey the imperial decree to survive. She is forced into the palace as the Emperor's secret concubine, while Simon's career prospers from her sacrifice. Later, a resentful Simon cruelly dismisses her role in his success. The episode ends with a sudden crisis as Yvonne's daughter, Tina, falls into the water, leaving her fate uncertain.
003
Yvonne grieves the drowning death of her daughter Tina, while Simon, the girl's father, coldly suggests it was Tina's fate to escape a 'disgusting' mother like Yvonne. Overcome by rage and grief, Yvonne vows Simon will pay for Tina's life. Immediately after, news arrives that Simon and Mrs. Quiller have also drowned. Yvonne, reborn three years into the past, is faced with the same decree forcing her to enter the palace, but now with the resolve to survive and seek vengeance.
004
Scholar Simon is confronted by a court official, who praises his 'performance' before revealing the Emperor's ultimatum: Simon must surrender his wife, Yvonne, to the palace or face ruin. Simon appears resigned, claiming there is nowhere to flee from the Emperor's power. Yvonne then confronts him, accusing him of choosing to trade her for a high position. With bitter resignation, she agrees to go, coldly rejecting Simon's final attempt at intimacy as she prepares to leave. The palace eunuch arrives to collect her, while Yvonne privately vows to turn her forced sacrifice into her own source of power.
005
Ms. Shaw is confronted with a portrait by a man, likely Simon, who points out the uncanny resemblance between her and His Majesty's late beloved, Susan. The king himself arrives and remarks on the striking similarity. Ms. Shaw acknowledges the likeness internally, having imitated Susan in a past life, but her scrutiny reveals the portrait is poorly executed. She deduces it is a fake, implying Simon orchestrated this meeting using a forged image. The episode ends with her addressing the king, poised to expose the deception.
006
A court attendant is summoned alone by the Emperor for the night. After dismissing the other servants, the Emperor orders her to help him change his robes. She struggles with the intricate clasp, prompting the Emperor to coldly remark that she shouldn't know how to undo the dragon-shaped hidden clasp, revealing his suspicion and placing her in immediate peril.
007
The woman instinctively undoes a dragon-shaped hidden clasp in the palace, an action that should be impossible for a first-time visitor, drawing immediate suspicion from the man present. He questions her, noting her cold hands and probing her background, while she nervously maintains a facade of reverence towards him as the ruler. Confronted directly about her true willingness to serve, her internal conflict surfaces as she recalls a past life. After a tense hesitation, she definitively affirms her commitment, a choice that resolves the immediate standoff but leaves her true motives and the ruler's lingering doubts dangerously unresolved.
008
After a night spent with the king, a woman named Yvonne receives a gift of exclusive jewelry from his servant Clark, which she interprets as payment for her company. She finds this unexpected, reflecting that it did not happen in her past life, and privately feels they both enjoyed the encounter. When asked by another woman if the king mistreated her, Yvonne denies it and provocatively claims he might want her to bear his child, boasting about his vigor. The other woman is left shocked by Yvonne's bold and shameless change in demeanor.
009
A woman named Yvonne is visited by her concerned mother who promises to protect her. Soon after, a servant arrives, scolding Yvonne for failing to greet the matriarch, Madam Quiller. Yvonne claims illness to avoid the confrontation. Later, while Yvonne plays with her daughter Tina, Madam Quiller arrives with a doctor, having discovered Yvonne's deception. Madam Quiller insists on a medical examination, forcing Yvonne into a corner as her false pretense is exposed.
010
Yvonne's mother-in-law, Anna, accuses her of faking illness to avoid paying respects, questioning her filial piety. Yvonne defends herself, reminding Anna she had nursed her back to health for three years. She implies her exhaustion stems from serving the Emperor, a point her husband, Simon, confirms. Simon then defends Yvonne against his mother, prompting a heated family argument where a relative insinuates infidelity, causing Simon to storm out. Later, while the Emperor promises Simon a bright future for his service, Yvonne is summoned to the palace again that night.
