Perfect Marriage Revenge

The next phase unfolds in Yi-joo and Do-guk's contractual marriage as their families meet for the initial discussion regarding their impending union. Jeong-hye remains oblivious to Yi-joo's orchestration and her amazement deepens when Yi-joo presents one of her replicas as a surprising gift. Despite the surface portrayal, Yi-joo employs stern language with Do-guk, reminding him not to cross boundaries in their feigned marriage. Do-guk struggles to mask his evident disappointment.

The day after the incident at the ferry port, Yi-joo learns that Do-guk is dealing with a panic disorder. Believing that Jung-wook holds crucial information about Do-guk's condition, she arranges a meeting with him, going against Do-guk's explicit request not to meet him. Despite her worry for Do-guk, he sternly warns her not to cross the boundaries of their contractual relationship. Seeking comfort, Yi-joo visits her grandfather and encounters an incredible story about her birth.

Yi-joo comes close to a regrettable choice at her wedding with Do-guk, driven by the realization of Jeong-hye's manipulation, but Do-guk intervenes just in time. The morning after the wedding, Do-guk discovers a note from Yi-joo and her empty room. Meanwhile, Yu-ra views Jung-wook as an ideal instrument for her schemes.

Even though it all began as a contractual arrangement between Yi-joo and Do-guk, her sentiments for him evolved over time. On the flip side, Yu-ra and Jung-wook seem on the verge of establishing their own agreement driven by sheer greed. Their sinister intentions promptly take shape as they expose the confidential contract between Yi-joo and Do-guk to the entire family.

Now that the secret pact between Do-guk and Yi-joo has come to light, the entire family is rife with disappointment and demands for justification. Jung-wook seizes this moment to press Do-guk even harder, but Do-guk appears to be one step ahead in every move. Meanwhile, Yi-joo's plan faces unexpected disruptions as rumors about her begin circulating and spiraling out of control.

With Jin-woong in the hospital, Jeong-hye declares herself the new interim chairman of Hanul. With plans to make her position permanent, she starts trying to win over shareholders. However, Yi-joo is onto her plan and starts doing the same. Meanwhile, Jin-woong becomes aware of Yi-joo's identity and starts to suspect Jeong-hye.

Jeong-hye's plans to take over Hanul for good fail as Chairman Han Woon-jae, Yi-joo, and Yi-joo's birth mother speak against her at the shareholders' meeting. Meanwhile, Yu-ra discovers that she is pregnant with Jung-wook's child and that Yi-joo is Jin-woong's biological daughter. She slowly comes to realize that her perspective of reality has been wrong all along.

Cho Dong-soo rats out Jeong-hye to the police, and they both get arrested. Yi-joo and Do-guk seem to enjoy their lives until Do-guk confesses that he is the reason why they both came back in time. Meanwhile, a construction site worker hired by Taeja's subcontractor dies on the job. Jung-wook tries to sweep things under the rug.
