A Parasite's Heart

Pichai agrees to let Hataya work for him. However, concerned she shares her mother's vices, he makes her answer to Ramil for everything she does.

While Hataya works hard to prove herself, Chayanee prefers to shirk her responsibilities and live a luxurious life with Ramil's stepbrother, Raiwin.

Hataya helps villagers threatened with displacement find sustainable work, unaware that Ramil has been sent to Ranong to investigate her background.

Hataya sways the public — and Pichai — when a video of her standing up for the villagers goes viral. Raiwin's interest only fuels Chayanee's resentment.

Chayanee feigns a warm welcome for Hataya as she secretly plots against her. Ramil issues a stern warning, unaware of his own growing jealousy.

When no one believes their story, Ramil enters a fake marriage with Hataya to protect her reputation. Meanwhile, Chayanee concocts another scheme.

Reeling from his family's devastating betrayal, Ramil withdraws from work. When Hataya tries to reach him, his anger ignites conflict between them.

Fearing Hataya has been framed, Ramil returns with a plan to keep her safe. When he reveals a softer side, she begins to see their situation differently.

When Ramil's actual wife leaves their son in his care, Hataya faces an unexpected challenge: finding common ground with the strong-willed boy.
