Evelyn Harper was saved from despair by Mason Ford and took him as her salvation, only to find him cheating with Vivian Hale—her old tormentor—right before their wedding. Mason arrogantly took his betrayal for granted, cruelly forcing Evelyn to give blood to Vivian and kneel in apology over her late mother’s designs. Crushed in a rainy night, Evelyn meets returning old companion Ethan Shaw, who helps her heal. They enter a contract marriage, yet Mason publicly exposes their unfilled marriage license at their wedding. Still, Ethan firmly declares his love is real. Later, Vivian schemes to sterilize Mason and forces him into marriage with her. At their wedding, Ethan exposes Vivian’s fake pregnancy, illegitimate child, and past bullying crimes. Vivian is arrested, and Mason dies after falling from a building. Finally freed from pain and betrayal, Evelyn conceives Ethan’s child and starts a new life.
