[Episode 1]

If life

is a nightmare

with no end in sight,

if the future

is a dawn

reached only through despair,

I'll use my hands

to tear through the darkness

and bring back the light.

[Map of Cloud Manor]

[Return of the Queen]

[Mare Nubium]

[Mare Nubium]

Today, the Ye and Lu families are holding a public funeral

for Ye Haimeng

and her husband, Lu Sinan.

Does that mean

they've learned the exact whereabouts

of the missing Ye Haimeng?

It's been 3 years since the accident.

Even if they know where she is,

she can't come back.

What about Mare Nubium's shares?

Are they all going

to the Lu family?

Not just that.

I heard the Lu family

has reached out to an overseas consortium.

Mare Nubium is about

to change hands.

Rest in peace,

my brother

and sister-in-law.

Mom.

She is...

She really is alive?

Impossible.

She can't possibly be alive.

Where are the security guards?

Get her out of here!

Breaking news!

Ye Haimeng,

the former president

of Mare Nubium Hotel Group,

is actually still alive!

It's been 3 years since the accident,

and she's come back alive!

Hurry! Hurry!

Step back!

Ye Haimeng.

She really is alive.

Why did you only come back today?

Unbelievable.

Yes.

Look here. Look here.

Who are you really?

Are you really Ye Haimeng?

What?

I'm standing right here.

What more is there to doubt?

Standing here

doesn't prove you're the real Ye Haimeng.

Ling Ke.

[DNA test report]

This is

the DNA test report

of Ms. Ye Haimeng.

[DNA test report]

What other documents do you need

to prove

I am the living Ye Haimeng?

It really is you.

You actually...

came back alive.

Uncle,

Aunt,

no need for your concern.

I won't die that easily.

Haimeng,

don't... don't be like this.

We're all family.

Whatever it is,

let's talk it over privately.

As I'm standing here today,

I'll say everything

publicly.

Three years ago,

I was the president of Mare Nubium.

Due to an accident with my husband,

Lu Sinan,

Mare Nubium was placed

under someone else's management.

Now that I've come back,

I want those

who took Mare Nubium

to give back Mare Nubium

that belongs to me.

The acting president of Mare Nubium,

Lu Siyue,

hand over every share

and every controlling right

you hold

of Mare Nubium.

What...

Mare Nubium's shares?

Ms. Ye.

Even though you've provided

identification documents,

you think these 3 pieces of paper

can prove you're Ye Haimeng?

You've disappeared for 3 years.

Now you suddenly came back

and want to take over Mare Nubium immediately?

That's impossible.

You and my brother

have been reported dead for 3 years.

We can't just accept you're the real Ye Haimeng

based on a few pieces of paper.

Even if you really are Ye Haimeng,

we can't simply

hand over Mare Nubium's shares

and ownership

to you right here.

Mare Nubium

belongs to me.

But you married my brother!

Half of Mare Nubium is his!

Besides,

today, we've already reached

a sales agreement

for my brother's half

with an overseas consortium.

The letter of intent has been signed

and is about to take effect.

[Letter of Intent]

You mean

this illegal, privately arranged

letter of intent?

How did you get this?

Without board approval,

without filing with regulatory authorities,

without going through any lawful procedures,

you secretly agreed to sell nearly 30%

of Mare Nubium's shares.

This letter of intent is

invalid.

It's invalid just because you say so?

On what grounds?

Because I'm Lu Sinan's wife,

and I was the president of Mare Nubium.

As long as I'm alive,

no one

can sell the shares

that Lu Sinan and I jointly own.

As long as I'm alive,

no one can split off

and sell my Mare Nubium.

Mare Nubium

belongs to me.

As long as I'm still standing here,

no matter what tricks you use,

[Letter of Intent]

no matter what means you try,

I will take back

every piece of Mare Nubium

that has fallen into your hands.

Are you going there now?

Yes.

The weather is so bad tonight.

Why don't you

go there another day?

Siyu, you're back.

Mo.

How come

I've never seen this painting before?

Your brother, Sinan, had it specially commissioned

for Ms. Ye

before their wedding.

This painting

was commissioned by my brother...

for my sister-in-law?

[Haimeng's tree]

[Three years ago]

Okay now.

This is...

I had it specially commissioned.

It's...

a wedding gift for you.

A gift?

Hmm.

I know

Dad planted a tree for you

when you were little.

This tree,

just like you, the only child of the Ye family,

has grown from something so small

into what it is today—

lush, thriving,

and full of life.

I also know

Dad hopes you

can be like this tree,

always filled with hope,

growing with passion,

until you become

a great tree that can shelter

the Ye family

and Mare Nubium from the wind and rain.

But now,

you're about to marry me.

I believe you.

You'll make me happy,

won't you?

You will definitely be happy.

Haimeng.

[Monaco]

Was it Sinan who pushed me

into the water just now?

Sinan.

Sinan!

Go!

Go!

Get in the car.

Sinan,

who are they?

Thieves or robbers?

Should we call the police?

I'll make the call.

If anything happens to us,

don't contact anyone.

Don't ask anyone for help.

Don't trust anyone!

What did you say?

Remember what I said.

You're finally awake.

Who are you?

Where am I?

This is a missionary hospital.

I'm the interpreter

assigned to you by the hospital.

My name is Ling Ke.

Why am I in a hospital like this?

Your spine

suffered a compression fracture in the crash.

And there are 3 bone fractures in your left hand.

Now,

you must immediately undergo surgery

to implant bone pins.

Otherwise, you'll spend

the rest of your life in a wheelchair.

Please sign here.

Why do I have to sign?

Where is my family?

My husband,

Lu Sinan.

He's dead.

What did you say?

Your car

was crushed in the crash.

Lu Sinan's skull was shattered.

He died instantly.

No one could save him.

My father

and my mother—

they...

Your father, Ye Mingzhi,

suffered a sudden heart attack

and died before dawn the day before yesterday.

Your mother, Luo Yanxin,

is gravely ill and comatose.

She was sent to an unknown rehabilitation hospital.

Her whereabouts are still unknown.

Your Mare Nubium Hotel Group—

because of

your car accident with Lu Sinan,

it has now been taken over

by the Ye and Lu families.

You...

have nothing left.

That's impossible.

It can't be true.

You...

must be lying to me.

I need to call them.

I need to contact my family.

Now, you

can't ask anyone for help

or contact anyone.

And you can't

trust anyone.

Madam Ling.

Dad, Mom,

why aren't you answering my calls?

With hotel chains across multiple countries,

Mare Nubium

has just made headlines with shocking news.

Ms. Ye Haimeng, who just took over

as the president of Mare Nubium Hotel Group,

and her husband, Mr. Lu Sinan,

suffered a serious car accident

during their honeymoon abroad.

Mr. Lu Sinan died instantly at the scene.

[National News]

The news spread quickly back home.

Mr. Ye Mingzhi,

Ms. Ye Haimeng's father, who had just stepped down

from his post,

suffered a sudden heart attack and was sent to the hospital.

Unfortunately, he died before dawn the day before yesterday.

Ye Haimeng's mother,

Ms. Luo Yanxin,

fell seriously ill and lost consciousness at home

due to overwhelming grief.

She has been rushed to the hospital.

Now Mare Nubium Hotel Group

[National News]

is left without a leader.

The Ye and Lu families have announced

an emergency interim takeover.

The Lu family has presented

a property custody agreement

signed by Ms. Ye Haimeng

and Mr. Lu Sinan

during their marriage.

With Ms. Ye Haimeng missing,

her father deceased,

and her mother gravely ill,

the Lu family will basically

take control of Mare Nubium.

The Lu family has appointed

Lu Sinan's younger sister,

Lu Siyue,

and her husband, Jiang Lin,

as the acting president.

Has it truly been confirmed

that Lu Sinan and Ye Haimeng

are dead?

[National News]

Mr. Jiang,

please give us a clear answer.

Everyone, please...

stop adding insult to our injury,

okay?

Thank you.

Have the local police

found Ye Haimeng?

Is there any clue about her whereabouts?

She is our family.

Of course we won't give up looking for her.

Are there any latest updates

you can share with us?

-Yes. -Yes.

Please give us a clear answer.

That's all for today.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Mr. Jiang,

please give us clear answers!

Mr. Jiang!

Can you give us clear answers?

[Mare Nubium]

Mr. Jiang!

Please give us clear answers!

Hello?

Wait a moment.

[Succession Turmoil at Prominent Family Business]

Hello?

This is Ye Yuezhi.

Who's calling?

[Succession Turmoil at Prominent Family Business]

Hello?

Hello?

An overseas number.

Hello?

Are you Haimeng?

Haimeng.

Have you seen this girl?

No, I don't know her.

Do you know her?

I need to find her.

I don't know this girl.

Now you should understand.

Everything of the Ye family,

everything of Mare Nubium—

you've lost it all.

And

no one wants you alive.

No one.

I'm not here to help you.

But except me,

you have no other options.

If anything happens to us,

don't contact anyone.

Don't ask anyone for help.

Don't trust anyone!

You must survive.

Only by surviving

can you take back

everything that belongs to you.

Hammer.

I hope that one day,

you'll grow into a tree.

A tree whose branches and leaves strive upward,

while its roots hold firmly in the earth.

[Haimeng's tree]

A tree strong enough to weather storms alone,

without relying on anyone else.

Dad,

I can do it.

So,

this painting is a love token between my brother

and my sister-in-law?

It's more than just a love token.

It bound

their fates together.

Fates?

Mom,

Ye Haimeng

has actually come back alive.

And she even

intercepted our letter of intent

with the overseas consortium.

That means she's dead set

on taking Mare Nubium from us.

Maybe...

Maybe even this house...

This manor

was bought by your father for Sinan.

Sinan is gone now.

It's perfectly legitimate

for us to live here.

Since she married Sinan,

Mare Nubium is

their

marital property.

Now that Sinan has passed away,

half of Mare Nubium

belongs to the Lu family.

Besides,

we still have an ace up our sleeve.

You mean

the property custody agreement

my brother left behind?

That agreement

has signatures

of both Lu Sinan

and Ye Haimeng.

Exactly.

Since it bears her signature,

half of Mare Nubium's shares

belong to my brother.

But Mom,

besides my brother's shares,

if we could also get our hands

on the shares

held by the Ye family...

You're talking about the shares

held in trust by Ye Yuezhi

for Ye Haimeng's mother?

Yes.

Since they're only held in trust,

they're not entirely secure.

Right now, Ye Haimeng's mother

is recovering at a wellness center.

During her recovery,

if something unexpected

were to happen,

that wouldn't be unusual.

Mom,

you mean...

I mean

you and Jiang Lin mustn't lose your composure.

Hold firmly

to your positions.

We'll find a way

to keep all of Mare Nubium

in the Lu family's hands.

I see.

I'll work with Jiang Lin

to handle Ye Haimeng properly.

Also,

don't let Siyu know about this.

Mom, you're favoring Siyu again.

He's young

and naive.

We can't drag him

into these family matters.

Fine, I understand.

I won't disturb your precious little son.

I'll be the one to play the villain.

Where is Siyu?

Siyu, you've really improved

these past few years away.

You haven't betrayed the earnest efforts

of your brother, Sinan.

What?

Ms. Ye,

you've truly come back?

You must be joking, Mo.

Isn't this

my own home?

Long time no see.

Lu Siyu.
