A woman is seen running quickly to avoid something in the middle of a crowd. wearing high boots, a short hair wig, and 90s pop star outfits.
"I'm so tired, I can't do it anymore, I hope they don't chase me all the way here!" said the woman sighing while standing at the corner of a store wall
When she looked around, it turned out she was in a corner of the night market. she never thought she would run all the way here.
"None of this would have happened if father had not forced me!" she said while looking around
...Flashback...
One day before, the Yu family residence,
"Does father want me to marry him, Gabriel from the Tang family, that's the cursed family!" said Jane Yu holding a picture of a guy
"They are not cursed, in fact they are a family that has been successful from the past!" said Fred Yu, Jane Yu father, and the head of the family
"I don't know him at all, father are you crazy for setting me up with him, does father want me to be in trouble?" ask Jane giving back the picture of Gabriel
"Of course not, dad is just helping you to gain the glory of our company's future!" said Fred to Jane
"Oh yeah, the wedding will be held in a week, so get ready!" said Fred getting back to his work
"What???" reply Jane shocked
...Next day in College...
"Are you going to marry the young master of that cursed family, It's really sad!" said a girl named Josephine Yun
"It is, will you leave our future plan, where we all planned to travel the world together?" ask another girl named Christy Wei
"No, I will still choose to study for a Masters in law abroad, I don't want to waste my life getting married!" said Jane looking at them
"That's good, and you said the wedding is in a week, so do you have any plan to cancel it?" ask Christy
"I haven't thought about that yet, I might think about it in a few days!" said Jane with a silly smile
"Imagine if you don't have any plans for the future, and you marry him, it is all end!" said Christy dramatically
"And, if I heard your dead news in the newspaper or on television, I won't be surprised anymore!" said Josephine looking at them playing along
"You guys are cruel!" said Jane smiling along
That night after returning home, Jane had a plan, which was to run away from home, she didn't want to marry a strange man she didn't know.
So she was ready to run but when she picked up her bag her father was standing behind her.
"Where are you going at this time of night, clubbing?" ask Fred standing behind her flick the light switch
"It's father, I, I'm sorry!" said Jane running down from the stairs
Fred immediately shouted at the bodyguards to hold Jane, and they stopped right in front of her.
"I am also your master daughter, so you both must also listen to my orders?" said Jane standing there panicking
Because the two bodyguards were too easily influenced, they let her go.
"Thank you my two favorite baldies!" said Jane running away from her house
"Why are you two standing there confused, hurry up and catch up with her!" shouted Fred from upstairs
At that time the two bodyguards walked outside, but they saw that there was no trace of Jane, so they started yelling her name, but no one answered.
"Hopefully I can reach my destination safely, hopefully I can reach my destination safe...!" Jane stopped because she accidentally stepped on a used can in her garden.
The bodyguard immediately headed towards the source of the sound, and Jane then ran as fast as she could so as not to be chased, luckily there was a cab near the end of the road, so she immediately got in.
"Okay, two baldies, I want to see how far you can chase me!" said Jane looking behind from the cab
The two bodyguards went home to inform their master that Jane had managed to escape. And there is Fred, who was seen sleeping on a beach chair near the house's swimming pool.
"Sir, sir, Miss has run away, we didn't have time to catch her!" said the first bodyguard
"Yes sir, miss has fast skills in escaping, we didn't have time to chase her!" said the second bodyguard
"What do you say, hurry up and chase him and get his pants, I'll catch up tomorrow!" said Fred to both of them back to sleep
Confused, the two of them finally went after Jane according to their master's request.
"Is this a neighboring town, I've never seen this place before?" ask Jane who just getting down from the cab after asking to take her as far from her house
"Yes, this is city Z, and don't forget to pay first before you run off!" reply the cab driver
"Oh yeah, this, thank you!" waved Jane to the cab after paying and walks to the night market
"City Z is the first time I've come here, it's so beautiful!" said Jane walking around in the night market
"Tanghulu, Tanghulu, buy 2, get 1 free!" shouted a salesman in the middle of the night market
Jane bought one, and just as she was paying, she suddenly saw two tall, shiny bald head from afar, she realized they had chased her all the way here.
"Damn it, take all the money, I can't wait for the change anymore!" said Jane eating the Tanghulu and then ran away
"Excuse me, have you seen a woman who looks like this?" ask the first bodyguard showing a picture of Jane
"Oh yeah, she bought Tanghulu there, it looks like she's straight ahead!" said a salesman to the bodyguard
Who would have thought that Monica was hiding behind the pancake shop, and then when she came out, her bodyguard appeared and chased her.
...Flash End...
"I have to go find a place to sit for a while, my legs can't take it anymore!" said Jane walking towards a place away from the night market
Countinued...
"I'm so tired, I think I'll get leg cramps tomorrow!" said Jane while massaging her feet a little
While she was sitting, it suddenly started to rain, so Jane had no choice but to run away from there, and she didn't know where she was running and ended up at a large fence near a place she didn't know at all.
When she saw that the gate was unlocked, she immediately went in because there were two tall buildings inside. She saw a building with lights, so she hid there for a while.
But when she wanted to walk to the the roof over there, she heard the sound of the door of the Mansion opening, she immediately hid near the bushes.
"Kate, please listen to me, I don't want to leave you, I will try to find a way so that you are the one I marry later!" said Gabriel Tang, the son of Edward Tang and Julia Chu who is already older now
"I don't want to talk about this anymore, your mother doesn't really like me either, just because I'm an ordinary person who doesn't have a good background!" said Kate Fang, Gabriel girlfriend
"Kate give me another chance, I will leave everything and marry you!" said Gabriel holding Kate hand
"Don't act stupid Gabriel, if you marry that woman your family won't fall apart!" said Kate letting her hand off from Gabriel
"I don't know her at all, how can I marry her without knowing who she is!" said Gabriel looking frustrated
"I need some time to take a break from our relationship, see you later!" said Kate to Gabriel
"Can I drive you home?" ask Gabriel to Kate in the middle of rain
"No, I've ordered a cab, it's here and one more thing!" said Kate to Gabriel
"When you meet that woman, Jane Yu, don't tell her that we used to date, so she won't be sad!" said Kate then get in the cab
Jane was hiding there while listening to the conversation, without realizing they were talking about her.
"I heard Gabriel's name being called, and also my name being called, is it a coincidence that I arrived at the Tang family home?" muttered Jane in shock
"Or is it just someone who has the same name by chance, that must be it?" muttered Jane hiding behind the bushes
When she was wandering when the rain would stop, suddenly a cockroach appeared in the bushes, making her scream in surprise.
"Damn, I'm going to die this time, don't let them find out, please, please!" muttered her panicking a little
"What's in there, why do i hear screams?" ask Gabriel holding an umbrella standing behind the bushes looking around
"Just a cockroa... ch...!" reply Jane suddenly freeze
"Damn I just answered!" muttered Jane in her inner thought with an awkward smile looking up to Gabriel
Gabriel was a little shocked, he thought he had just seen a ghost, but it turned out it was just a girl with messy hair covered with a bit of leaf.
"Hi!" greet Jane with an awkward smile to him
Jane realized that the man was really Gabriel Tang, exactly the same as the one she saw in the picture.
"Who are you, why are you here, Are you one of the journalists who will protest about our company again?" ask Gabriel holding the umbrella
"It's not that, I just want to avoid myself from the rain, and what a coincidence the fence here was open, so I took shelter here...!" explain Jane looking awkward and giving a little creep awkward smile
"Alright, that's enough, stop explaining, and don't smile like that anymore, it's creepy!" said Gabriel to Jane judging her
"Yes sir!" reply Jane still giving an awkward smile to him
After that Gabriel let Jane into the Mansion to warm herself. It turns out that the inside of the mansion has been decorated magnificently, and arranged like a wedding house. And this Mansion she had seen in the newspaper several times.
"The rain tonight is very cold, and here is some warm water for you!" said Gabriel handing her a cup of warm water
"Oh yes, thank you, you are very kind!" said Jane put the warm water on the table
"Don't mind the surroundings, this is just...!" said Gabriel trying to explain
"Oh you're getting married soon?" said Jane pretend not to know
Jane was shocked because Gabriel actually didn't know her. I mean, I don't know the shape and the look of her face.
"I felt offended because he didn't know me!" muttered Jane sipping her warm water
"It's not like that, it's more like an arranged marriage, I've never met that woman before!" said Gabriel to Jane
"Ohhh is that so!" said Jane sipping more of her warm water
"I still don't know your name, what's your name?" ask Gabriel to Jane
"Oh yeah, my name is Christy, Christy Wei!" said Jane with a smile, after using her friend's name as a disguise
"Gabriel Tang!" reply Gabriel to Jane with a judging look because of her creepy smile
"Can I be honest, I was hiding and accidentally overheard you arguing with your girlfriend?" said Jane look at Gabriel
"That, it's not a problem, it's just that my mother is a bit of a complicated person!" said Gabriel to Jane
"Oh yes, can I be honest, I've seen that your gaze is quite creepy, can you be a little more normal!" said Gabriel to Jane
"Oh yeah sorry, I'm a bit used to being like that with my friends!" reply Jane this time looks normal
"Is the curse already in effect, I haven't even married him yet, oh god please help me, I don't want to die young?" muttered Jane in her inner thought looking around the mansion
Countinued...
"Sir, we have tried hard to catch up with Miss, but suddenly it started raining, so Miss is lost, we are now taking shelter under the night market, right Loid?" said the first bodyguard on the phone to Fred
"Yes, by the way I want to buy this grilled skewer again, it tastes good!" reply the second bodyguard
"You both, what a stupid baldies!" said Fred then hang up the phone
"Jane, now you're causing me trouble, what else can I do to explain to the Tang family?" said Fred searching for Jane number on his phone
...Mansion...
"Is it okay for you to let me in that easily?" ask Jane confused
"It's fine, I always try to be friendly after meeting Kate, she's the one who changed me into the person I am now!" reply Gabriel
Suddenly Jane's cell phone rang, she saw it was her father's number, so she ignored it.
"Aren't you going to answer your phone?" ask Gabriel to Jane
"Huh, is there a phone call, All I've heard so far is the sound of pouring rain!" said Jane to Gabriel
The phone rang again, but Jane insisted on speaking to Gabriel.
"How about I explain to you why I'm here!" said Jane to Gabriel
"Can you answer the phone first, It's a bit annoying!" said Gabriel to Jane
"Oh yeah, I got a call I just realized he-he!" said Jane rejects the call
"So now are you going to listen to me?" ask Jane to Gabriel
"You just rejected him, who knows maybe it's a friend who's looking for you?" ask Gabriel feeling uncomfortable
"It's not just an unimportant person, just a scam call!" said Jane faking a smile to him
...Tang Residence...
"Madam, I received a report from the Yu's, that Miss Yu ran away from home, and it seems like she won't be coming tomorrow!" said a servant to Julia Chu, who is a little older now
"Ran away from what, Have they found her already, tomorrow everything must be done?" ask Julia who is drinking her tea
"Mom, it would be better if you don't force them if they both don't want to be together!" said Sarah Tang, Edward Tang, and Julia Chu youngest child
"You mean Miss Yu ran away because she didn't want to be in an arranged marriage?" ask Julia to Sarah
"Yes, if not, why would he run away, she must have a boyfriend too, just like brother!" said Sarah to Julia
"Your brother is not suited to a supermarket worker, whatever it's like Kate, he is more suited to a highly educated woman like Jane!" said Julia to Sarah
"And you better shut up and go to sleep, I'll try calling them first!" said Julia trying to make a phone call
"Oh Hello, Mr. Yu, I just want to make sure if what my servant said is true?" ask Julia on the phone to Fred
"Yes, that's right, she ran away from here, I don't know where, but I got information from my bodyguard that she's in city Z, but now because it's raining we can't find her, maybe later after the rain was gone!" said Fred to Julia on the phone
"Oh alright then, make sure you found your daughter, or you will have to handle the consequences of the agreement!" said Julia with a sweet smile then hung up
Fred made a contract agreement with Edward to work together as fellow companies, and now they are planning to marry their two children to keep their relationship running smoothly.
But who would have thought, the two children did not want this, and instead one of them ran away, and the other one wanted to sever ties with the family.
...Mansion...
"You'd better go change clothes first, there are some women's clothes here!" said Gabriel pointing the room to her
"Oh yeah, okay then I'll go change clothes first!" said Jane walking to that room
At that time, there was a window in that room, and Jane saw that the window was not closed properly, so she tried to approach it and wanted to try to close it.
"Hey, the clothes' room is on the right!" said Gabriel suddenly appears at behind made Jane shocked a little
"Oh what, I just wanted to have a look!" said Jane gave him another creepy smile
She then tried to close the window and lock it, after which she left the room and went to the next one.
After changing clothes to a new pajama, and taking her short wig off, she went to the living room to sit down, but Gabriel wasn't there, she immediately thought of something.
"Where is he, why isn't he in the living room, did someone break in through that window and kidnapped him?" muttered Jane started wandering something
Panicked Jane walks around the corner of the Mansion to see if anything suspicious is happening.
"Why are you walking like that, is something wrong?" ask Gabriel again suddenly appears who just finished taking a shower
"Oh, I was just looking around just like before!" said Jane to Gabriel
"You've been acting really weird, can you be a little normal?" said Gabriel walking to the living room
"Thank God he's okay, but why do I feel like there's something strange about the window in the room earlier?" muttered Jane in her inner thought walking to the living room
"By the way, earlier you said that you ran away from home, did something happen?" ask Gabriel curious
"Oh yeah my family forced me to marry someone I didn't know at all, just like you, and I didn't want to, so I ran away!" said Jane to Gabriel
"I never thought that in this day, there would still be people doing this to their children!" said Gabriel after hearing Jane story
"It's sad, but that's the reality!" reply Jane to him
