After enduring severe bullying that led to her expulsion, Ai vowed to take revenge. To carry out her plan, she underwent plastic surgery, changed her name to Mai Kamata, and infiltrated Sakura's life as a housemaid. However, when Ai arrives to confront her former tormentor, she discovers that Sakura is in a dire situation, suffering from emotional abuse from her husband and harassment from her mother-in-law. This shocking twist causes Ai to question the very nature of her revenge, stirring feelings of uncertainty within her.
