The underworld is ruled by two formidable mafia dynasties: the Wijaya family, led by the cold and untouchable Bastian Wijaya, and the rival Herdian clan, led by Doni and Siska Herdian. Their generational tension is actually a malicious conspiracy orchestrated by Reza Pratama, a manipulative third party courting Talita Herdian. Reza poisons Talita's mind with lies, claiming Bastian intends to destroy her family. In reality, Bastian has secretly loved Talita since their university days. Consumed by fear, Talita rejects Bastian and marries Reza to protect her family, walking straight into a living hell. Reza drops his facade, systematically crushing the Herdians and brutally murdering Talita’s parents before her eyes. He becomes a tyrannical underworld lord, subjecting Talita to relentless physical and psychological abuse that permanently ruins her body and leaves her unable to bear children. As she nears death, a devastating truth emerges: Bastian truly loved her all along, while Reza merely used her as a disposable pawn. In her final moments of bitter remorse, Talita begs for a second chance. Miraculously, time reverses, and Talita awakens in October 2020—just on the verge of her engagement to Reza, armed with memories to rewrite her fate.
