She Held the World Inside a Sleepless Court - Episode 10

Sarah tries to persuade Jim to drink a bowl of soup so she can adopt him as her son and secure the inheritance of Marquis Jones's title, which can only pass to her legitimate child. Jim initially refuses, calling her a bad woman and rejecting the idea of being her son, fueling Sarah’s suspicion that the soup might be drugged. After she drinks it herself to prove its safety, Jim remains resistant. Sarah reveals her true motive: testing if Jim is worthy of inheriting the title, but with no children of her own and Jim unwilling to agree, the title risks passing elsewhere. Jim finally agrees to be adopted, shifting the stakes for the inheritance.
