The elite of S City are in an uproar: Carol is abandoned at her wedding and stripped of her design director position by her father. She then casually takes in a down-and-out male model at a bar who won't even give his name—everyone laughs at her for degrading herself. No one knows that the "kept man" Eric, whom she tossed a check to, is actually the head of the mysterious Rothschild family, who has been searching for her for ten years. When the fake genius designer Elizabeth returns in style, the real Ferry appears in a mask and exposes the lies. When Julian and his mother humiliate Eric as a "kept man," the special assistant breaks in and shouts "Patriarch"—the rules of high society are completely rewritten. From a stolen wedding home to a battle for shares, every counterattack by Carol is precise and deadly. In the end, Eric slips the wedding ring onto her finger and declares coldly, "Touch my woman, and you pay the price."
