Story Recap
Episode 1
Flora Kent has spent six years loving Dan Irvin, but tonight she learns what she really is to him. At a celebration for Dan's racing win, the people around him toast his success and joke that he only became a racer because Iris Lake once said racing men were the most handsome. Then the truth lands: Dan has a girlfriend of six years, but she's "just a replacement" — he's never even brought her to meet them.
Flora hears every word. "I'm a replacement," she realizes. "For six years I've been someone else's stand-in."
She calls her brother and agrees to come home for the arranged marriage. He tells her to hurry back — everything is ready.

Episode 2
Flora tells Dan she isn't feeling well and wants to go home early, brushing off the party. She's already decided to leave. Dan notices the house feels emptier — things are missing — and he can't understand why she'd leave behind the star-shaped stone he gave her.
A delivery arrives: flowers and a cake. It's her birthday, and someone remembered even if Dan didn't.
Flora looks back on six years of youth and sincerity and decides it was all a dream. "I've woken up," she says. Dan is already heading out again to another gathering, still oblivious to what he's losing.

Episode 3
Dan suddenly tries to make up for everything. He offers to cancel his shoot, take Flora to the movies, buy her things — but she's already checked out. When he asks what's wrong, she says she's fine.
Then he finally does what she once begged for: he takes her to his family villa and introduces her to his friends. "You always wanted to meet my friends, right?" he says. But it's too late. "I already decided to leave you," she thinks, "and now you finally bring me in."
Among the guests is Iris Lake. When they meet, someone remarks that Iris and Flora look oddly alike.

Episode 4
At the gathering, the resemblance between Flora and Iris is impossible to ignore. Someone points it out directly, and Flora admits there's a strange familiarity.
The group starts a game of Truth or Dare. When the question lands on Flora — if there were a chance, would she get back together with her ex? — the room waits.
Iris watches, and Dan's attention keeps drifting toward her, leaving Flora feeling like a ghost at her own birthday. The tension builds as Flora prepares to answer the question everyone is suddenly desperate to hear.
Episode 5
Flora's answer is flat and final: "Never." The word lands like a slap, and for the first time Dan loses his composure.
Iris leaves the party early, claiming she has things to do at home, but her brother calls her out — she came back to the country to reconcile with Dan, so why push him away? Iris explains her game: make him fight, make him miss her, then reel him back in. Years ago she took a huge breakup settlement from the Irvin family and left when he loved her most.
She's betting he'll come crawling back. But Flora has already seen through her.
Episode 6
Iris corners Flora and drops the mask. She knows Flora overheard everything, and she isn't remotely sorry. Instead she twists the knife: Flora only got close to Dan because she looks like Iris.
"You should thank me," Iris says. "If I hadn't toyed with his heart, it would never have been your turn."
Flora refuses to be baited, but Iris keeps pushing — calling her a stand-in who was played, while Iris was the one doing the playing. "You two are a perfect pair of pitiful fools," she sneers. Flora stands her ground, but the question hangs: who's really using whom?
Watch how Flora turns the tables — you won't want to miss what happens next.
