Sold Out by Greed

Episode 1

Freya Summers is eight months pregnant and on top of the world. She's just closed a major deal, and her boss, Jiang, rewards her with a five-million-dollar bonus and a black card, while Chairman Zhou of Zhou Group tries to poach her friend and colleague Shen Jing. Freya declines a dinner invitation and heads home, buzzing with a plan: she'll pretend she was fired and surprise her husband, Sun Lei, and her mother-in-law.

The surprise lands wrong. The moment Freya jokes that she's been "let go," her mother-in-law's face changes. The insults come fast and ugly—calling her a freeloader who's carrying a "worthless girl." Freya's smile freezes. The people she trusted most are already showing their teeth.

Episode 2

The mask is off. Freya's mother-in-law doesn't just insult her—she raises a hand, declaring she'll "teach" Freya how to be a proper daughter-in-law. When Sun Lei walks in, his first question isn't whether his pregnant wife is okay. It's whether she really got fired. Freya, bruised and stunned, points out the truth: this house belonged to her parents, left to her as inheritance, and if anyone is living off someone else, it isn't her.

Her mother-in-law brushes it off with fake concern about money, while Sun Lei plays the tired peacemaker. Freya watches them both, the betrayal settling in. They aren't upset for her—they're upset about her paycheck. And somewhere in the house, another secret is already waiting to surface.

Episode 3

Sun Lei pulls his mother aside, hissing at her to keep quiet—it's not time to tear off the mask yet. There's a detail Freya doesn't know: a camera installed in the nursery. He wants to see which side Sun Lei will take.

Meanwhile, Freya notices her husband coming home late again. He claims the company is busy, then buries himself in "funny videos" on his phone. When she questions him, he snaps that her pregnancy hormones are making her paranoid and delusional.

But the real panic belongs to the mother and son. Li Yaoyao's baby is almost due, and one salary can't stretch across two households. Freya is still in the dark—but the walls around her are closing in fast.

Episode 4

The truth walks through the front door. Sun Lei introduces a young pregnant woman as his "cousin," Li Yaoyao, in town for a prenatal checkup. His mother coos over her, then casually hands over the gifts Freya bought for her own baby—because "Yaoyao is pregnant too."

Then comes the twist of the knife: the three-thousand-dollar postpartum center Freya booked is too expensive, they say, so she should cancel it and let family care for her instead.

Freya watches them fawn over the woman. It clicks. Li Yaoyao isn't a distant cousin at all—she's Sun Lei's mistress, and they've brought her into Freya's home without a shred of shame.

Episode 5

Behind closed doors, the scheming gets darker. Sun Lei's mother pushes him to book Li Yaoyao a hundred-thousand-dollar-a-month postpartum center—while Freya's three-thousand-dollar one was "too pricey." She urges her son to divorce Freya and marry Li Yaoyao outright.

Sun Lei hesitates, but not for love. The house is still Freya's premarital property, so a divorce now means he gets nothing. His plan: force Freya to swap the house into shared assets first, then divorce her and take half.

His mother reveals something chilling—she's been quietly feeding Freya medicine, and it hasn't worked yet. She vows to buy more and "speed things up."

Episode 6

The mother-in-law walks in with a bowl of medicine, calling it a nourishing tonic and ordering Freya to drink it. Freya hesitates, suspicious of the strange brew.

Sun Lei swoops in with fake warmth: since Freya isn't working, she has time—so why not sign the house contract today and "shake off the bad luck" of losing her job? His mother backs him up, pressing the bowl toward her.

Freya stares at the two of them, the medicine cooling in her hands. They're not concerned about her. They're concerned about getting her signature on that contract—and they'll use anything, even a mystery drink, to push her toward it.

Episode 7

Freya refuses the medicine, and her mother-in-law explodes, threatening to "discipline" her. Sun Lei smooths it over—no rush, they'll just go buy the house first. But Freya has made up her mind: she will not sign away her parents' house.

At the sales center, a message goes out: Freya has arrived with her family, treat them well. Jiang orders the most expensive unit prepared, along with the supreme black card and the five-million bonus already deposited.

Then Li Yaoyao appears at the showroom, greeting everyone sweetly. Freya's jaw tightens. The mistress has come to "help pick out" the house—with Freya's money.

Episode 8

At the sales office, Li Yaoyao plays the helpful relative, claiming she's there to lend her "good eye" to the house hunt. She needles Freya about being fired, suggesting she'd better learn to scrimp now that Sun Lei carries the load alone.

Freya fires back: how she lives is her business, not Li Yaoyao's. The mother-in-law scolds her for disrespect, and Sun Lei pushes a new demand—swap Freya's parents' house for this one and sign the contract.

Freya sees the trap clearly: they want to swallow her inheritance. She names it out loud—the "family" is Sun Lei, his mother, his mistress Li Yaoyao, and her unborn child.

Episode 9

Cornered, Li Yaoyao theatrically threatens to prove her "innocence" by dying on the spot, while the mother-in-law plays the wounded elder. Sun Lei insists Li Yaoyao is just his cousin and accuses Freya of slander.

Freya refuses to back down: she won't give them another cent. Sun Lei snaps that without a job she depends on him, so he decides—she will pay for the house today.

When she resists, he strikes her. Bystanders protest that he's hitting a pregnant woman, but he calls it a family matter and tells them to stay out. His mother eggs him on to "teach her a lesson."

Episode 10

Freya is bleeding. She begs Sun Lei to take her to the hospital, reminding him the child she carries is his—but he and his mother won't move. The mother-in-law sets her price: swap your parents' house first, then you can go.

Li Yaoyao piles on, telling Freya she's a jobless woman who'll depend on Sun Lei, so she'd better sign the house over and apologize. Sun Lei threatens that if she doesn't, she'll get nothing from him.

Freya, doubled over in pain, pleads for the hospital. They refuse again. Then a voice cuts through the room—someone has arrived, and the tables are about to turn.
