Story Recap

Episode 1

Dylan Reed is drowning in twenty million dollars of debt — and sitting on a one hundred million dollar lottery ticket he's hidden behind the TV. His solution is ruthless: fake his own death, dump the debt on his wife, and vanish. Claire Foster learns the truth too late, realizing her husband and Han Yue were scheming together all along. But as the betrayal closes in, something impossible happens — Claire wakes up on the very day Dylan staged his death. This time, she isn't the scapegoat.

Episode 2

Claire refuses to let anyone rush the body to the morgue. If Dylan loves playing dead so much, she'll help him finish the job — completely. Han Yue protests, Dylan's parents protest, but Claire is unmoved. She even announces she wants to donate his organs, a move that horrifies everyone who assumed she'd simply grieve. Her son Yaozu is caught in the middle, confused and frightened. To onlookers, Claire looks like a devoted widow honoring a good man's memory. Only she knows the truth: this is the first move in a much longer game, and Dylan has no idea who he's really dealing with.

Episode 3

Han Yue insists Dylan never wanted his organs donated, claiming he told her he wanted to go "whole." Claire fires back — as his wife, her word carries more weight than a secretary's. The fight turns ugly. Claire calls Han Yue out as the mistress, vowing that neither of them will have peace this time around. Then a donation center representative arrives, ready to proceed. Dylan's parents try to pull Yaozu away, but Claire keeps pressing her advantage. Every objection, every delay, only tightens the trap. The people who once conspired against her are now scrambling — and Claire is enjoying every second of it.

Episode 4

Claire doubles down, telling the donation coordinator she wants to donate her husband's organs — every last one. Han Yue and Dylan's parents erupt in protest, but Claire reminds them she's the legal wife and the one who decides. Yaozu objects too, claiming a son's right, but Claire points out he isn't eighteen yet, so she remains his guardian. Then, to twist the knife, she suggests they harvest the corneas while the body is still warm, and dissect whatever else is usable. It's grotesque, it's calculated, and it's working. The harder the others fight to preserve Dylan's "dignity," the more Claire tightens her grip.

Episode 5

A relative storms in, furious — accusing Claire of failing to care for Dylan, then demanding his organs be donated anyway. Claire turns the accusation around: it was Dylan who died rushing to help someone grab a free ticket at the airport. She blames the relative for his death, refusing to let the so-called family decide anything. The room descends into shouting and scuffles. Through it all, Claire keeps steering the chaos toward her goal — she wants the cremation, and she wants it now. Dylan, still alive somewhere in hiding, has no idea his wife is dismantling his entire plan from the inside.

Episode 6

Dylan's parents finally arrive, blocking the donation and demanding their son's body. Claire isn't intimidated. She accuses them of conspiring against her in her past life and declares that this time, she'll make sure they all suffer. Han Yue plays the grieving "wife," and bystanders side with her, praising her nobility while calling the parents selfish. But Claire pivots: fine, no organ donation — then cremate him immediately. The parents refuse, insisting on burial. The standoff hardens. Every path Dylan's family tries to take, Claire has already blocked, and she's only getting started.

Episode 7

At the hospital, the cremation furnace is ready. Just as the procedure is about to begin, Dylan's parents burst in, begging to stop it — they want to take their son home for a traditional burial. Claire counters with the law: burial is banned, land is scarce, and any body taken home will only be dug up and burned later anyway. The parents insist they'll buy land, flashing their wealth. Han Yue pleads on their behalf, playing the sympathetic figure. But Claire refuses to let anyone take her husband. The confrontation turns physical, and Claire's patience snaps — she won't let a single person stand in her way.

Episode 8

The police arrive, summoned by Claire herself. She explains calmly: her husband is dead, the law requires cremation, but her in-laws want burial — and she worries about wasted land and wasteful funeral customs. The officers side with her, warning the parents that burial isn't allowed. Cornered, the parents stall, asking to keep the body in the morgue a little longer. Claire sees the trick immediately — they're hoping to sneak Dylan out once the police leave. She calls it out, forcing their hand. Backed into a corner, they finally agree: cremate him immediately. Claire has won this round.

Episode 9

Dylan's parents escort the body toward the crematorium while Han Yue is sent to handle paperwork at the front desk. Then relatives pour in — uncles, aunts, distant family — all summoned to "help." The parents are gently pushed aside, told to leave the funeral arrangements to Han Yue. Claire, however, has her own plan. She heads straight for the cremation room, insisting she'll personally send her husband off. The technician confirms the procedure is ready: one press of a button. Claire reaches for it herself. Somewhere, Dylan's fake death is about to become very, very real.

Will Claire press that button — and what happens when Dylan realizes his wife has been playing a game he never saw coming? Start watching to find out.
