Poor Felix is completely lost in the confusion. He thinks he is protecting Vivian by promising to cancel the engagement, but she sees right through his impulsive nature.

His confusion is palpable and makes the story so compelling.
The older woman holding the red scroll is clearly the key to unlocking the family secrets. Her shock at Vivian's behavior suggests she knows the history between Vivian and Felix better than anyone.

The confrontation on the balcony hit me hard. Alisa claiming she is the real daughter and accusing Vivian of stealing her life and Felix is a massive plot twist.

This show really knows how to keep you guessing about who the real victim is.
Vivian's transformation is absolutely chilling! Watching her coldly reject Felix after he tries to apologize is peak drama.
