송별아가 아이를 낳던 그 밤, 하강준은 첫사랑의 복수를 이유로, 피투성이가 된 아내를 차갑게 외면했다. “포기해.” 잔혹한 한마디와 함께, 송별아는 수술대 위에서 비참하게 생을 마감했다. 그러나 눈을 떴을 때, 그녀는 과거로 돌아와 있었다. 바로, 하강준이 첫사랑 소시정을 자신에게 소개하던 그날로. 한때는 사랑밖에 몰랐던 송별아는 더 이상 어리석지 않았다. 이번 생에서는 두 사람을 기어이 엮어 주리라 다짐한다. 그리고 내민 건 단 이혼합의서 한 장. 하강준과 소시정, 두 사람을 완전히 송별아의 인생에서 지워버리기 위해서였다. 하지만, 예상치 못한 일이 벌어진다. 결혼은 아직 끝내지도 못했는데, 송별아에게 먼저 날아든 것은 하강준의 사망 소식. “하강준, 네가 이런 꼴을 당할 줄이야. 이걸로 우리 빚은 끝이야.” 송별아가 차갑게 돌아서려는 순간, 죽은 줄 알았던 남자의 손이 하얀 천 밑에서 뻗어 나와 그녀의 손목을 붙잡았다. “여보... 나한테 마지막 기회를 줘. 제발...”

전생에는 분명 아버지와 오라버니들에게 사랑받는 존재였던 온사, 하지만 아버지가 동생을 데려온 뒤로 모두의 사랑을 빼앗겼다. 새 여동생에게 뺏긴 사랑을 되찾고자 했지만 오라버니들은 그녀를 나쁜 사람이라고 생각할 뿐. 큰오라버니는 사람들 앞에서 무릎을 꿇게 했고, 둘째 오라버니는 두 손 두 발을 잘랐고, 셋째 오라버니는 모진 고문을 했으며, 막내 오라버니는 체면을 구기고 악명을 떨치게 했다. 심지어 아버지마저 그녀를 쫓아내고, 결국 온사는 아버지와 오라버니들의 손에 죽게 된다. 다시 눈을 떴을 때, 그녀는 포기하기로 하고 집을 나와 연을 끊기로 결심했다. 하지만 오라버니들이 후회하고 그녀에게 무릎 꿇고 빌게 될 줄 누가 알았겠는가. 온사는 천천히 고개를 끄덕이며 말했다. “아미타불, 온씨 가문? 온사? 사람을 잘못 보셨군요.”

오철준은 여섯 살이 되던 해에 100원을 훔쳤다. 전남편이 벨트를 꺼낼 때면 사람을 때려죽이려 하곤 했다. 난 철준을 내 몸 뒤로 감싸고 모든 매를 대신 맞았다. 그 후 전남편은 예상치 못한 사고로 사망했고 나와 철준은 서로 의지하며 살아갔다. 옆집 이웃이 나를 남편 잡아먹은 년이라고 욕하자 철준은 그 집 개를 독살해 버렸다. 어떤 고객이 나를 괴롭히려 할 때 철준은 그 사람을 하반신 불구로 만들어 버렸다. 철준은 평생 장가 가지 않고 나를 지켜주겠다고 했다. 난 철준이 너무 고집스럽다고 생각했다. 난 철준이 자신만의 생활을 되찾을 수 있기를 바랬다. 출국한 지 3년, 마침내 철준이 인생의 진정한 사랑을 찾았다는 소식을 들었다. 난 흥분된 마음으로 귀국했지만 예비 며느리에게 불륜녀로 오해를 받았다. 주민정은 사람들을 데리고 공항에서 나를 가로 막았다. “나이를 이렇게 처먹고 불륜녀 짓거리를 하다니! 쪽팔린 줄도 모르는 건가?” 민정은 사람들 앞에서 내 옷을 벗겼다. 그리고 나에게 황산을 먹여 내 목과 얼굴을 망가뜨렸다. 숨이 거의 끊어질 무렵 난 민정에게 말했다. “나는 철준의 어머니야.” 하지만 민정은 친자 확인서를 내 앞에 뿌렸다. “사람 잘못 해칠까 봐 난 이미 똑똑히 조사도 해봤어.” 하지만 민정은 내가 철준의 새 엄마라는 걸 몰랐다.

결혼 전부터 나는 늘 남편 민해에게 그의 형수님, 문소리가 대단한 분이라는 얘기를 자주 들었다. “형수님과는 절대 다투지 마. 잘 지내야 해.” 남편의 당부가 귓가에 맴돌던 결혼 후 첫 설날. 나는 시댁에서 처음으로 명절을 맞이하며 하루 종일 부엌에서 음식 준비로 바빴다. 열 명이 넘는 가족을 위해 손 하나 까딱하지 않는 시댁 식구들 대신, 홀로 땀을 뻘뻘 흘리며 명절 음식을 차렸다. 거실에서는 웃고 떠들며 과일을 먹는 가족들의 웃음소리가 들려왔다. 하지만 저녁이 되자 느긋하게 등장한 남편의 큰형 부부. 그때까지도 나는 몰랐다. 내 자리가 없을 줄은. 어색하게 선 채 자리를 찾으려던 내 앞에서, 남편의 형수 문소리가 비웃듯 입을 열었다. “동서, 현모양처라면서요? 착하고 잘 지낸다더니... 그런데 음식은 별로네요?” 나는 속에서 울컥하는 분노를 억누르며 무언가 말하려는 순간, 문소리는 시어머니를 향해 태연하게 덧붙였다. “앞으로는 어머님께서 음식을 하시는 게 좋겠어요. 어머님 음식이 훨씬 맛있잖아요.”

My sister had struggled with severe depression for years, and the only thing that seemed to ease her pain was her dog, Toto, who had become her constant companion. But when her illness flared up again, Toto was nowhere to be found. Then, my husband, Lionel Cress's childhood sweetheart posted a picture of Toto on social media. [With her, it feels like you're here with me.] I lost it. I called Lionel in a frenzy, but despite being my sister's psychologist, he was completely indifferent. "Your sister has been sick for so long. How could she suddenly relapse just because Toto's gone for a few days?" When I rushed back home, I found my sister in the bathroom, her wrists cut. Later, Toto's body was discovered outside our building, with Lionel's gift to his childhood sweetheart—a ring—lying next to her. I buried both my sister and Toto, and left behind nothing but a divorce agreement. Lionel went crazy, desperately trying to find me.

A story about a strong woman (you won't regret, she isn't like other female leads) A story about an innocent girl, a girl who only knew how to spread love. She has the eyes of innocence, the face of an angel and a personality of a dreamer but her smile....her smile is so beautiful but what people don't see, is a smile that hides more pain than you can ever imagine. A story about a boy, a boy who was forced to grow up into a cold heartless monster. Every girl wanted to be with him and there wasn't a single girl in the campus who had not slept with him except for those who were the outcasts. He was a playboy, not caring about anyone's feelings except his friends and his sister. His sister was his world, he would destroy anyone who even dared hurt his beloved sister. What will happen when he gets trapped in misunderstandings, vowing to take revenge from the girl who caused his sister pain? What will happen when he breaks her beyond repair? What will happen when she loses her purpose in life and becomes lifeless? What will happen when he finds out the truth and regrets immensely for what he did to the girl he madly fell in love with? What will happen when he gets separated from her? What will happen when he goes insane in her love, yearning and craving for her attention....for her that he abused for something that she never did but rather saved? Will she forgive him or will he lose her forever? After all, the things he had done to her were unforgivable and beyond words..... "P...please don't leave me. Come back to me.... P...please...please Eyshana.... I... I love you" I pleaded and cried as I cradled her lifeless body.

In the fifth year of our bland marriage, I receive a message that my husband has booked a hotel room with a woman. Within the next second, seductive pictures of me show up in the work group chat. In the pictures, I seduced my husband but failed. My colleagues in the group chat mock me by saying, "She gave Mr. Reed an ultimatum and forced him to marry her. He was forced to break up with the woman he loves." "Mr. Reed put up with her for five years. It only makes sense that he could no longer resist and decide to reunite with his lover." My sick father dies out of shock, yet my husband does not show up to his funeral. That night, I inform Belinda that I wish to divorce her son. "Back then, you told me that I'm Caleb's blessing in life. You said that he'd have endless success if we were to marry. "As long as I married Caleb for five years, you promised to pay for my father's medical fees. Now that the time is up, you should let me go too."

It's often said "If you love something, let it go. If it comes back, it was meant to be." When you lose someone, sometimes they will find their way back to you. They'll find their way back into your life because maybe they have something else to teach you. Maybe they'll come back into your life at a time where they felt you need them the most. When they do, though, you will both no longer be the same people you once were. You won't understand each other in the same way. But, if they do find their way back, allow yourself to understand how beautiful your new bond with them could be and the new memories that can be made.
