In this episode, Sophia Miller faces a series of tragic events. At the hospital, she tells her critically ill mother, Carina, that she has arranged for artificial insemination, promising to take care of her future child and stay strong; Carina passes away with a sense of relief. The attending physician then informs Sophia that the horrific car accident claimed over a dozen lives, including her mother's, and that the only survivor is left infertile. Overwhelmed by the loss of her mother, staggering medical bills, the costs of the artificial insemination, and funeral expenses, Sophia falls into despair. While wandering the hospital corridor in a daze, she accidentally runs into a mysterious man.

The battle for the Carter family inheritance begins. Sophia Miller accidentally bumps into the arrogant Lucas Carter in a hallway. The scene shifts to a hospital, where Ethan Carter lies in a coma following a car accident. His mother, Kelly, is openly hostile toward Lucas, the uninvited illegitimate son. Lucas taunts them, claiming that since Ethan is now infertile, he will lose his right to inherit the company. At a critical moment, Ethan wakes up and banishes Lucas, then reveals to his mother that he had frozen his sperm. Kelly immediately orders her assistant, Mark, to find a suitable candidate for artificial insemination to secure their hold on the inheritance.

Sophia returned home to find her uncle, Victor, gambling with others in the house. Not only had Victor lost all his money, but he had also mortgaged Sophia's mother's car and stolen her remaining savings and her mother's jewelry. When the debt collectors arrived, Sophia called the police to remove the thugs. Later, Victor and his accomplice, Anna, revealed the cruel truth: Sophia's mother had passed away in the hospital and could not be buried due to unpaid medical bills. Using this as leverage, Victor tried to force Sophia to marry the elderly Henry Berg in exchange for the funeral costs. After Victor and Anna left, they revealed their true colors; they had already accepted a large sum of money from Berg and were waiting for Sophia to reach a dead end and give in to their demands.

Sophia successfully underwent an IVF embryo implantation at the hospital, unaware that the sperm sample used was actually the stolen private property of Ethan Carter, the CEO of Carter Group. When the nurse discovered the sample was missing and caused a commotion, Ethan arrived at the hospital with his entourage, furious and ready to confront the staff. Under intense interrogation, the nurse blamed the doctor for taking a bribe to escape blame, and the terrified doctor eventually confessed that the sample had been implanted into a girl named Sophia. Upon learning the truth, Ethan immediately ordered a city-wide manhunt for Sophia, setting off a fateful entanglement sparked by an accidental pregnancy.

Struggling to make ends meet, Sophia Miller arrives at a five-star hotel for a job interview, desperate to cover her mother's funeral expenses. Despite her lack of credentials and language skills, she pleads with manager Bella, who eventually hires her as a cleaner. Sophia is already on the brink of financial ruin after spending her savings on IVF, and she is further harassed by her uncle, Victor. During her training with her mentor Annie, Sophia learns the secret that the group's CEO, Ethan Carter, became infertile following a car accident and that his sperm was stolen. Just as Sophia is gossiping about the CEO, Ethan appears right behind her, and the gears of fate begin to turn.

Sophia and her friend Annie are working at a hotel when they are caught gossiping about CEO Ethan Carter’s private struggle with erectile dysfunction. Enraged, Ethan fires them both on the spot. Hearing the name Sophia triggers his suspicion, as he believes she is the woman who stole his sperm years ago, and he vows to ruin her. Later, Ethan discusses the ongoing search for the woman with his assistant, Mark, suspecting someone else is pulling the strings. Meanwhile, hotel manager Bella—who is actually an heiress hiding her identity to win Ethan’s affection—takes out her frustration over the incident by shoving Sophia and Annie. Overwhelmed by the humiliation and pressure, Sophia suddenly feels unwell and, in the restroom, makes a shocking discovery: she is pregnant, the result of the artificial insemination she underwent previously.

Assistant Mark hands Sophia's file to CEO Ethan, who immediately sets out to find her. Meanwhile, feeling unwell due to her pregnancy, Sophia tries to hide her fatigue while accompanied by her friend Annie. Annie worries about how Sophia will survive after being blacklisted by the Carter family, but Sophia is determined to find a job quickly for the sake of her child. After they part ways, Sophia is unexpectedly intercepted by her greedy uncle, Victor. Driven by resentment, Victor blames Sophia’s mother for ruining his chance at wealth by calling off her wedding years ago, and violently abducts Sophia. By the time Ethan arrives at the hotel, Sophia has already been taken away.

In this episode, Sophia's uncle Victor, driven by greed, ruthlessly kidnaps her and sells her to Henry Berg, a lecherous and paranoid wealthy businessman. After receiving a portion of the cash, Victor feels no remorse and joins his accomplice Anna in assuring Henry that they will use their status as family to ensure Sophia remains obedient. Upon waking up, a furious Sophia resists and exposes Victor’s monstrous actions, only to be humiliated by him in return. After sending Victor and Anna away, Henry attempts to assault Sophia, revealing that he had once harbored the same twisted desires for her mother, Carina. In a moment of desperation, Sophia screams that she is pregnant, hoping to use the news to save her virtue.
