She was the illegitimate daughter of a wealthy family—abandoned by her father, oppressed by his legal wife, and humiliated by the so-called sister. She watched her mother perish in a raging fire and was thrown into the flames herself.
Her name was Janice. And she died in that fire.
Ten years later, under a new identity and the name “Janet,” she survives in silence. Forced by her stepmother to marry a wealthy heir rumored to be "paralyzed and disabled," she becomes entangled in a vicious struggle of family betrayal and ruthless power games.
With cold eyes, she watches the hypocrites who once trampled her into the mud—one by one, they will become prey on her road to revenge.
Her wheelchair-bound "husband" Philip, the feuding brothers Charles and August… But what she didn't expect was that the boy who once quietly handed her a handkerchief all those years ago would become the most unpredictable piece in her game of fate.
She has returned—not for hatred, but to personally end the past that was once crushed beneath their feet.

Little Trista wasn't ready to give up. Seeing Charles ignore her, she twisted in Janice's arms, calling out again, her soft baby voice clumsy but persistent.


"Charles, Trista's calling you," Janice said gently, confusion flickering across her face.


Why was he acting like this? Why the dark cloud on his face?


She'd heard bits and pieces before—how cold he'd been toward their daughter in the past year. Back then, she had believed it was because of her own absence. But now that she was here, beside him, why wouldn't he look at Trista? Not even once?


"You… don't want to see her, do you?"


Janice stood there, holding Trista tightly in her arms, not letting the girl go even as she squirmed and fussed. Her big, wet eyes locked on Charles, brimming with disbelief and growing sorrow.


Trista was their baby—so sweet, so lively. How could he not love her?
