[0:00]Because gold was too expensive, I swallowed a gold necklace whole. The saleswoman was stunned on the spot.
[0:05]She had never seen anyone steal in front of her. She was about to call the police.
[0:09]But then a man walked over, he pulled out two stacks of cash and told the saleswoman he would pay for the necklace I swallowed.
[0:14]I got excited when I heard that. Then I kept stuffing things into my mouth.
[0:17]Under the saleswoman's watchful eyes, I swallowed more than 20 rings in an instant.
[0:21]Greedy as I was, I did not care about my own safety. I choked on a necklace more than 2 meters long.
[0:26]I passed out from lack of oxygen right there. Tony saw what happened and took out two stacks of cash to make good on his promise.
[0:32]When I woke up again, I found myself in a luxurious villa. Tony then came in.
[0:36]He said the doctors had removed all the gold jewelry from my stomach. He then handed me a dress and invited me to breakfast.
[0:41]Seeing Tony so friendly, I quickly let my guard down.
[0:44]I changed clothes and walked out of the room. Tony's butler walked straight toward me. He led me to the dining area.
[0:49]When I opened the plate, I found a plate of gold inside. Tony gave me two choices.
[0:54]The first was to eat the salad on the side, fill my stomach and then leave.
[0:57]The second was to choose the gold jewelry in front of me and stay here.
[1:00]But if I chose the gold, I could not eat any food. And if I stuck with it for one day, I would receive a plate of gold.
[1:05]I chose the gold without hesitation. But to my surprise, I could not stand the hunger after only three days.
[1:10]Under cover of night, I snuck out to look for something to eat.
[1:13]But Tony had already prepared for that. I could not find any food in the entire kitchen.
[1:16]Just then the butler suddenly appeared behind me. He reminded me not to break Tony's rules.
[1:21]Otherwise he would take back all the gold I had received.
[1:24]But I was starving at that moment. I begged him for some food, otherwise I would really starve to death.
[1:28]Seeing how pitiful I looked, the butler chose to help me. So he risked losing his job to secretly give me a piece of bread.
[1:34]I grabbed the bread and gobbled it down. Just then Tony got out of bed.
[1:38]We were so scared, we hid under the table. Luckily Tony was only thirsty and came out for water.
[1:42]But as he turned to leave, he noticed the open refrigerator. Tony immediately understood everything.
[1:46]But he did not expose us right there. Instead, he quietly walked back to his room.
[1:50]Over the next month, the butler secretly brought me food every day.
[1:53]Our relationship began to change. Finally that night, the butler could not help telling me how he felt.
[1:58]Then he brought two plane tickets to Paris. He wanted to take me to live somewhere else.
[2:01]But when faced with Mark's request, I hesitated for a moment.
[2:04]Because I knew if I left this house, I would no longer get any gold.
[2:07]Seeing this, Mark quickly said we already had enough gold. Now we should go and enjoy life.
[2:11]And he promised we would be happy in the end. In the end, I was moved by Mark's sincerity.
[2:15]But just as we were about to leave, Tony, who had prepared in advance, called out to us.
[2:18]He threw a big bag of gold in front of me.
[2:21]He told me that if I stayed, all of it would be mine. And every day after that he would give me a bag of gold.
[2:25]Most importantly, he would no longer control what I ate. I was tempted when I heard that.
[2:29]But before I could answer, Mark confidently said we already had enough gold.
[2:33]Now we should go live a happy life. Little did he know, I could not resist the lure of gold.
[2:37]In the end, between love and gold, I still chose gold. Mark realized he could not take me with him.
[2:41]So he left here heartbroken alone. In the blink of an eye, 40 years passed.
[2:45]I became an old woman with white hair. But my desire for gold remained strong.
[2:49]By then Tony was already hanging on the wall. I put away the last day's payment and prepared to leave.
[2:54]In these 40 years, I never went out. I never truly enjoyed life.
[2:57]Now, besides a big chest of gold, I have nothing else.
