Part One: What’s the story of Please, Marry My Husband about?

As we just mentioned, Clara was framed by her best friend Fiona and sentenced to five years in prison. After serving her full sentence, she was finally released. However, on the day she got out, her family did not welcome her back. Instead, they took her directly to the theater where Fiona was practicing dance.

Before entering, her husband handed her a bouquet of roses. But the flowers were not for Clara. They were meant as an apology gift for Fiona. What’s more, he told her, "Roses are Fiona’s favorite. Once she forgives you, I’ll remarry you." Clara didn’t argue, but her silence spoke for itself. She walked inside without a word.

There, she saw her son and daughter watching Fiona dance on stage. Their eyes were full of admiration and affection, which saddened Clara deeply. She had once been a talented dancer herself, but she gave up her career for her family.

Whenever she and Fiona were in the same room, her family’s attention always turned to Fiona. Even after five years in prison, her own children didn’t greet her. What they do is only praising Fiona and not noticing their mother’s existence.

Not wanting to compete for their affection, Clara wandered through the theater. There, she met her former dance teacher. The teacher was overjoyed to see her. She had waited five years for Clara’s release. "You were my most promising student," she reminded Clara, "but you gave up your career for your family." Then she asked one more time: "Are you willing to leave your family and join the Paris Opera Ballet as a lead dancer?"

Clara accepted gladly. Joining the Paris Opera Ballet had always been her lifelong dream. The teacher offered her a new identity for a fresh start and promised to pick her up in two weeks. This opportunity would allow Clara to escape her toxic family and begin a new life.

Episode Four

Episode four of Please, Marry My Husband, happens in an elevator. The family was taking the elevator home from the theater. Unexpectedly, the elevator malfunctioned after they enter, plunging the elevator into darkness. Fiona knew Clara had Claustrophobic disorder, but to win her family's affection, she pretended to be unable to breathe. Her family panic, all three supporting Fiona, completely ignoring Clara who was crouching uncomfortably on the floor.

It's only later that her son noticed Clara was also struggling to breathe. But in their eyes, it's just Clara's performance to win their affection. The son even said, "Do you have to compete with your auntie over everything?" when the real competition was with the aunt he's supporting.

Clara, unable to breathe, tried to press the emergency button, but Fiona stopped her. The elevator maintenance personnel opened the doors and evacuated the people, completely ignoring Clara in the corner. Clara, alone, clutched her chest and writhed in agony on the elevator floor. Recalling that night twenty years ago when the power went out, she mustered the courage to comfort her children, though she herself was terrified.

Episode Six

Episode six was a truly heart-stopping one. That day, the family was preparing for a trip. Fiona suggested riding in the same car as Clara. Clara, without much thought, got in. Fiona immediately drugged Clara. When Clara awoke, she found herself bound to the train tracks. This was Fiona's most vicious scheme. She wanted to kill Clara.

Just then, her family arrived. With the train approaching in thirty seconds, both were tied to the tracks, and Clara's husband was torn. The children suggested saving Fiona first. So, the daughter found scissors and cut Fiona's ropes. Faced with Clara's imminent death, they decided to help Fiona out first before rescuing her.

The train drew closer, and Clara gradually freed herself from the ropes. Just when everyone thought Clara was dead, she dragged her injured leg home. The two were then taken to the hospital. At the hospital, Clara received wonderful news: her former dance teacher had helped her gather evidence that Fiona had framed her and had also booked her a flight to Paris. And the teacher would pick her up in a week.

Part Three: What happens at the end of Please, Marry My Husband?

The most exciting part of the ending is Clara's life abroad under her new name. This day happened to be the wedding day of Clara's ex-husband and her close friend Fiona. Clara's dance teacher also saw her off on the same day. To ensure her husband remembered her forever, Clara decided to stage a car accident to make it seem like she died. After her family went to the wedding, she stayed home alone to prepare a wedding gift for the newlyweds: a USB drive containing evidence of Fiona's crimes. She arranged for a courier to deliver it to the wedding.

Then, she drove her BMW straight up a tree. She got out, poured gasoline on the car, and placed a life-size cotton doll in the driver's seat. After arranging everything, she took out a lighter and burned her car and all the memories of her past in the fire.

At the wedding, Fiona's crime video was played as a celebratory video, revealing all of Fiona's previous schemes to everyone. Clara's family was furious and immediately called the police, who took Fiona away. Meanwhile, they received a call from the police confirming that Clara had died in a car accident. Rushing to the scene, they wept bitterly, filled with regret.

After everyone assumed Clara was dead, they began to reminisce about their time together. That day, her daughter organized a charity gala and invited the Paris Opera Ballet to perform. While watching the performance, Clara's ex-husband gradually realized that the dancer was his wife. After the performance, they went backstage to look for Clara. However, Clara vehemently denied it, saying she grew up in Canada and her name was Emilie. But their daughter saw the wound on Clara's ankle and confirmed that she was her mother. Just as everyone was pleading with her to come home, Emilie's fiancé appeared, dispelling their hopes.

During the backstage argument, Clara's son accidentally obtained a strand of Clara's hair. He took it to the hospital for testing, and the results showed that Clara was indeed his biological mother. Knowing the results, Clara's ex-husband rushed to Emilie's wedding, begging her to return to the family. But Clara had already made up her mind. The moment she decided to leave home, she had no intention of going back.
