Her Last Anniversary Gift

Episode 1

Laila Smith hears the diagnosis: terminal stomach cancer, roughly one month left. Treatment might buy a miracle, but she no longer believes in miracles — and she makes one request: tell no one, especially her husband, Nathan York.

Then comes the darker offer. If the pain becomes unbearable, there is a medicine she can drink; seven days later, it will take effect and end everything.

Meanwhile, the memory of Nathan's vows plays against reality. He once swore he would love only her, and she warned him what betrayal would mean. Now she knows the truth: behind her perfect marriage, her admired husband has been keeping a mistress. With their eighth anniversary exactly seven days away, Laila makes her choice.

Episode 2

Nathan York comes home playing the devoted husband — apologies for all the overtime, promises to take Laila Smith shopping. He insists he will clear his whole day for her, that he won't let her go alone.

Laila plays along, calm on the surface. But the cracks show in what she doesn't say: she already knows about the mistress, and every sweet gesture lands like a lie.

The episode lets the double life breathe — Nathan juggling tenderness at home with a secret elsewhere, while Laila quietly counts down. She even hints that someone will soon be free of her, a line that sounds like a joke and isn't. The anniversary is coming, and she is already planning what she'll leave behind.

Episode 3

A shopping trip turns into a test. At the store, staff fuss over Laila Smith and praise her attentive husband, Nathan York. Then Nathan slips away — supposedly to the restroom — and Laila is left waiting.

She isn't waiting alone for long in spirit. Elsewhere, the hidden relationship surfaces: Chen Muyao, the mistress, is pregnant, and she pushes Nathan about being seen, about the future, about divorce. Nathan shuts it down hard, insisting he will never divorce Laila.

The cruelty is in the contrast — Chen Muyao craving more, Nathan refusing to give it, and Laila, unwell, quietly stepping out of the trip. She tells the staff she doesn't feel well and leaves early. The clock keeps ticking.

Episode 4

Nathan York covers his tracks with an easy lie — a sudden stomachache, a quick trip to the restroom, a "company meeting" that pulls him away. Laila Smith says she isn't feeling well either and heads home first. He tells her to rest, promises to take care of her when they're old.

That promise is exactly what she no longer has. Alone, Laila's thoughts turn final: rather than wait for Nathan to discard her, she decides she will throw him and his mistress away herself. The imagery is of breaking memories apart and rearranging them, of a love that burned like fireworks and then vanished.

That night Nathan texts her about a last-minute business dinner. She is left with dinner for one — and a decision already made.

Episode 5

Laila Smith wakes confused, asking how she fainted. Nathan York is suddenly attentive, worried she isn't answering his messages, rushing home — but he still doesn't know what's really happening to her.

At home, he notices something missing: their photos, the wedding pictures. Laila says they're old and should be replaced. Nathan agrees easily, promising they'll take new ones someday. The casualness stings — he has no idea what she's really clearing away.

Then she notices he's running a fever without realizing it. For once the roles flip: she tells him to warm his shower water, then insists on taking him to the hospital.

Episode 6

At the hospital, Nathan York has stayed by Laila Smith's side all night. She asks him a quiet, loaded question: if she really died, what would he do? He answers he'd cry at her grave for a lifetime — words that land differently once you know what she's planning.

Then Chen Muyao appears, there for a prenatal checkup. Nathan scrambles, introducing her as a sales manager he's been overworking. Chen Muyao plays along, calling Laila "Mrs. York" and reporting the baby is healthy.

Laila watches the performance, then tells Chen Muyao to leave so she can rest. Outside, Nathan turns cold, warning Chen Muyao not to show up like this and telling her they shouldn't contact each other for a few days.

Episode 7

Nathan York announces his surprise: for their eighth wedding anniversary — ten years since they fell in love — he has prepared a celebration at Mid-Hill Garden, the very place he proposed. Laila Smith agrees, saying she has a surprise of her own. He calls her his most precious gift.

At the party, guests tease him about how devoted he is, how Laila is his whole life. He unveils a necklace named after her, wishing her happiness and safety forever.

Then the evening tilts. A late guest arrives — someone Nathan clearly didn't expect — and Laila's composed smile hides everything she has already set in motion.

Episode 8

Chen Muyao crashes the anniversary party, and the room shifts. Nathan York panics, insisting he told her never to appear in front of Laila Smith. Chen Muyao complains he hasn't visited her, that she and the baby miss him, and demands he leave with her.

He refuses, telling her to stay only if she keeps quiet. Guests try to smooth it over, explaining she's from his company. Laila listens, then says it plainly — everyone here seems to know except her, and Nathan has been deceiving her badly.

She pulls him aside, saying she has something to tell him. The party keeps going. The countdown is nearly over.

Episode 9

Laila Smith finally says it out loud: seven days ago, she drank poison. She is about to die. She thanks Nathan York for ten years together, then tells him there will be no more years ahead.

Nathan doesn't believe her. Neither do the guests. Someone calls for an ambulance, but others wave it off — she looks fine, her color is normal. Surely this is an anniversary joke, a morbid prank between husband and wife.

Nathan scolds her for scaring him, telling her not to joke in front of so many people. Laila watches him explain her away. The poison doesn't need anyone's belief to work.

Episode 10

The ambulance crew arrives, responding to a report that someone drank poison. Nathan York insists it's all a misunderstanding — no one here drank anything, his wife is only joking. He apologizes for wasting their time.

The paramedics hesitate, noting Laila Smith's color doesn't look right and offering to check her. Nathan brushes it off, saying she was recently discharged and just needs to recover.

The guests laugh it off as an anniversary stunt. Laila is still standing, still composed, still unheard. But the seven days are up, and the medicine she drank has already begun its work. What happens next, no apology can undo.

Watch it for yourself — the ending hits harder than any spoiler can.
