A cliché beginning, where the husband of many years sparks a 'true love' with his own sister, begging the wife, the older sister, to step aside and give her blessings.

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.

She faces adversity fearlessly, knowing that her fate is in her hands. Embracing a secluded life, selecting a husband, and refusing to be taken advantage of in this life, she becomes the "vicious" supporting character who fears no one.
