Between Lies and Love

Episode 1

Emma Boyer walks into a trap she never saw coming. Someone has drugged a stranger and arranged for Emma to be photographed with him — all to force her into a divorce that leaves her with nothing. The scheme belongs to Penny Chandler, the adopted heir of a wealthy family who wants Emma disgraced and thrown out of her marriage to Joe.

But the night doesn't go as planned. A man steps in, and Emma is pulled out of danger, becoming her unexpected savior. Emma is shaken, confused about who set her up and why. She has no idea that the stranger who rescued her is about to change her life completely.

Episode 2

The morning after, Emma tries to erase everything. She tells the man who saved her that they should pretend the night never happened — she has a husband, and she wants to keep it that way. She even worries about whether she needs to take something to prevent a pregnancy.

His answer stops her cold: there's no need, because he can't have children. He explains he's infertile, which is why he once adopted. Emma pushes the encounter out of her mind and goes home, but the question lingers — how is she supposed to face Joe after what happened? Meanwhile, Penny keeps moving pieces against her.

Episode 3

The cruelty escalates fast. Emma is cornered, her phone snatched away, while people mock her and refuse to let her call for help. She demands to know why this is happening — she and Penny were never enemies. The answer is colder than she expected: Penny doesn't believe in consequences for people like her.

Emma turns on Joe, reminding him that he pursued her, that they had just gotten married. Why is he doing this to her? There's no remorse. Instead, a divorce agreement is shoved in front of her — sign it, leave with nothing, and everything she owns is already packed. Emma is left humiliated and alone.

Episode 4

Penny goes public with her humiliation campaign. She accuses Emma of sneaking around with another man, pointing to marks on Emma's neck as proof of betrayal. The story spreads: Emma supposedly schemed to marry into money.

But the truth cuts the other way. Penny is the adopted daughter of a tycoon — and the sole heir. The threats get darker: sign the divorce papers quietly, or end up like Emma's mother, lying in a hospital bed. Then Emma's body starts sending its own signal. She's been throwing up. She realizes she hasn't had a period in two months. Could she actually be pregnant — even after he swore he couldn't have children?

Episode 5

At a business dinner, Emma is pressured to drink to close a deal. She refuses, saying she's pregnant, but no one believes her. A man reaches for her stomach, mocking the excuse, and she bolts from the table.

The chase turns ugly — someone grabs her, accusing her of faking a pregnancy to run. She insists it's real. Just as it looks bad, a man steps in and the harassers recognize him instantly: the president of the Zhou Group. They scramble away. He turns to Emma and asks the question that changes everything — she's pregnant? Emma has no idea how much this moment will cost her.

Episode 6

The man confronts Emma about the pregnancy, and she admits the child is his. She insists she won't trap him — she'll handle it alone. He reminds her he told her he couldn't have children, and offers money if she needs it, but warns her not to play games with him.

Emma refuses the money. She only wants a child of her own blood, and if he doesn't want it, she'll raise it herself. He takes her to the hospital for tests, though he's warned not to get his hopes up — his condition makes fatherhood unlikely. Then the results arrive, and everything shifts.

Episode 7

The doctor delivers news no one expected: the child is his. A miracle, the kind the doctor has never seen in years of practice. The man who believed he was infertile is going to be a father.

He tells Emma the child belongs with him and that he'll take responsibility for both of them. She's moved into a villa to rest and recover, and staff begin calling her "madam" — though she corrects them, saying they aren't married. When he offers her money and even a house transfer, Emma refuses. She won't sell her child, and she won't be bought.

Episode 8

Emma keeps her independence. She turns down a car, saying she's fine taking the subway, and points out that his money isn't easy to earn either. He's amused — she clearly has no idea who he really is.

Meanwhile, Penny arrives at Emma's company, flaunting her status as the heir and demanding to see Emma. Penny boasts that her father can't possibly have children, so her position is safe. She's determined to make Emma lose her job and leave the city. But a car pulls up outside, and Penny catches a glimpse of someone familiar — her own father.

Episode 9

Penny corners Emma outside and mocks the expensive car, sneering that Emma must have earned it in some old man's bed. Emma fires back calmly: the car's owner isn't old, he's handsome, and he treats her well.

Penny taunts her about the divorce and the "old man," but Emma tells her that the bad things she's done will catch up with her. Penny laughs it off — consequences are for poor people. Then Penny notices something that stops her cold: Emma is two months pregnant. The news rattles her far more than she lets on, and the fight turns personal.

Episode 10

Penny confronts Emma about the pregnancy, mocking her for keeping the child of a stranger. But Emma stands firm — she's actually grateful the divorce happened. She's doing well now, and she refuses to be shamed.

Penny threatens to have her fired and driven out of the city. Then the man returns, carrying Emma's coat because it's getting cold. Penny watches, stunned, as the person she's been insulting turns out to be far more than she imagined. The truth about who he is — and whose child Emma carries — is finally starting to surface.

Watching this one unfold is worth it — the moment Penny realizes who she's been up against is the scene you won't want to miss.
