Summary notes spoiler-light, read before episode 1

In short: 42 episodes, in English, original audio — episodes 1–8 play right here.

In her past life, Olivia endured five hellish years married to Ethan. He seized her fortune, stripped her of her career, and constantly reminded her she lived only because his beloved Chloe died. When Olivia filed for divorce, Ethan drove their car into the sea, demanding she pay with her life for Chloe. She reawakens on the yacht-sinking night five years prior, when Ethan must choose: save her or Chloe.

Before Ethan decides, Olivia voluntarily yields the rescue spot and survives on her own. She cancels their engagement, regains control of her career and life, living only for herself. Noah, who pulled her from the waves, is her long-lost online friend from youth and lead investor of the Harbour Renewal Project. This time, Olivia chooses herself — and meets someone who truly respects and cherishes her.

Study tip: the first 8 episodes set up every conflict that the remaining 34 episodes pay off — watch them back to back before you decide whether to continue.
