When Love Turns to Ashes

Before committing suicide while holding her daughter's body, Beatrice Lindsey did three things.

First, she sent the autopsy report of her daughter, who died from an infection after kidney donation, to Caden Baldwin. He was at a birthday party for the son of his first love at that time. Second, Beatrice calmly arranged all the funeral affairs for her daughter. Then, she held her daughter's ashes and slept in the cemetery for a whole night.

Third, Beatrice softly sang "Happy Birthday" and threw the ignited divorce agreement in her hand towards the curtain.

At the same time, in the magnificent hall, Caden Baldwin's phone rang.

"Third Master, the villa is on fire."

The wine glass Caden was holding fell to the ground with a crash, and he turned and left.

He didn't know how he stepped on the gas pedal and rushed to the villa.

Looking at the house engulfed in fierce flames, it felt as if something had pierced his heart.

The curtain fell, revealing Beatrice Lindsey sitting in front of the birthday cake and the urn of her daughter's ashes in her arms.

She smiled at him as if they were meeting for the first time.

"Goodbye. I hate you. If everything could start over..."

In a drunken stupor, Beatrice Lindsey had a wild night with Caden Baldwin, her step-uncle.

Then, she deliberately switched her morning-after pill with folic acid, trying to get pregnant and marry Caden.

He ranted at her for being shameless and using dirty tricks to climb the social ladder.

After they tied the knot, he began to retaliate against her like crazy, not even showing mercy on their daughter. When Beatrice opened her eyes again, she found herself reborn to the day after their one-night stand happened.

The first thing she did was burn the 100 love letters she had written for Caden.

Next, she told him that the woman he slept with was Madelynn Bradford, his fiancée.

Finally, she took lots of morning-after pills, making sure she wouldn't carry his baby.

In the previous life, Beatrice greedily admitted that they had slept, which resulted in eight years of loveless marriage.

Caden had been waiting for Madelynn and hadn't slept with any woman before that, so he hated Beatrice's guts and mistreated her.

But Beatrice just wouldn't give up on this marriage no matter what.

Eight years later, their daughter Stella died on the operating table.

Meanwhile, Caden was celebrating the successful transplant of Stella's kidney to Madelynn's son.

Beatrice set herself on fire with Stella's urn in her
