The story

Quick answer: 74 episodes, English original audio, and episodes 1–10 play right here tonight.

After her mother's death, Ella's father couldn't wait to bring his mistress and her two children into their home. Ella was driven to ruin by them, abandoned by all, left with nothing, and eventually met a tragic end. Reborn into a new life, Ella endured humiliation and hardship for five years, carefully plotting her strategy as she engaged in a battle of wits with her stepmother and step-siblings.

Not only did she achieve her revenge, but during the process, she also met Luke, the man who had once saved her. The two admired and understood each other, and in the end, they found happiness together.
