However, tragedy strikes when the husband gets into a car accident and becomes paralyzed, while the younger sister ends up in a mental asylum. An unexpected ending awaits, as the older sister, who should have taken a bow and left the stage, ends up inheriting all the wealth and suddenly finds herself transported to another world.
