Kim Yoo-seok abandons 'pregnant' Shim Yi-young to elevate status

The beginning of the revenge war brought about by Kim Yu-seok's greed has begun.

In the first episode of MBC's daily drama 'Fate in Heaven', which aired on the 17th, Kang Chi-hwan (played by Kim Yoo-seok) was depicted driving Lee Soon-yeong (played by Shim Yi-yeong), who was carrying his child, to death in an attempt to rise in social status.

The broadcast that day began with the voice of Hwang Tae-yong (played by Park Dong-bin), Kang Chi-hwan's confidant, who said he had found Lee Soon-young. It led to the heartless choice of Kang Chi-hwan, who walked an irreversible path to achieve his desires. In order to marry Jeon Mi-gang (played by Go Eun-mi), the daughter of Jeon Sang-cheol (played by Jeong Han-yong) of Moojeong Construction, he ordered his former lover, Lee Soon-young, to be eliminated. He even told them to resolve the issue of the child that Soonyoung Lee was pregnant with.

Just as he had hoped, Kang Chi-hwan and Jeon Mi-gang were happily married in a splendid wedding ceremony. Kang Chi-hwan, who became a married couple with Jeon Mi-gang amidst the warm blessings of the people, smiled with satisfaction, intoxicated with the sense of victory that he had shaken off the cycle of poverty that he so desperately wanted to escape from.

At the same time, Soon-young Lee was hiding in a neighbor's house with the help of her secretary Na Jeong-im (played by Jo Eun-sook), who discovered Kang Chi-hwan's plan. Hwang Tae-yong, who received Kang Chi-hwan's orders, looked for them all over the island, and soon Soon-young Lee's labor pains began, adding to the anxiety. The sight of Lee Soon-young enduring the pain alone, unable to make a sound for fear of being discovered, was heartbreaking.

Kang Chi-hwan's child, Lee Hae-in (played by Jeon Hye-yeon), whom Lee Soon-young risked her life to protect, was born, and the ominous feeling grew even greater as Hwang Tae-yong heard her crying. As the siege narrowed, Lee Soon-young, who sensed that this was her last moment with the child, decided to become bait to elude Hwang Tae-yong.

Lee Soon-young, who left the child in Na Jeong-im's care, lured Hwang Tae-yong away alone, leaving behind only the necklace that Kang Chi-hwan had given her. The thrilling chase of Lee Soon-young and Hwang Tae-yong, who desperately run away to save their child, begins.
