He Called Me Crazy. I Own the Asylum.

Synopsis

To win a love untainted by family background, Ivy deliberately concealed her true origins and became engaged to Julian as an ordinary girl. At the wedding, Julian forced Ivy to kneel and apologize to his assistant, Alya. Refusing the humiliating demand, Ivy called off the wedding on the spot. Alya then staged a fainting act after taking pills, shifting all suspicion onto Ivy. Julian and his family refused to believe her defense and, under the pretext of a psychiatric evaluation, forcibly committed the perfectly sound-minded Ivy to a mental health center. There, whether she argued or stayed calm, she was deemed to be having an episode. Ivy was unjustly confined for eight months. The upright Dr. Hart noticed suspicious irregularities in her admission paperwork; after investigation and complaints, he helped Ivy secure her discharge and regain her freedom. Yet the moment she walked out of the hospital, Julian took her to his and Alya's wedding. It turned out the two had already married during her confinement, and at the ceremony they played surveillance footage of Ivy's breakdown, publicly destroying her reputation. No longer hiding her identity, Ivy wielded her own power, and the years-long conspiracy of Alya and her brother gradually came to light — they had drained Julian's business and even plotted to eliminate Ivy. Ivy joined forces with the police and produced evidence exposing their crimes of false accusation, forged documents, and illegal detention. The trial uncovered an old secret: the obsession driving Alya and her brother's revenge stemmed from a lie left behind by their parents. Cornered, Theo attempted a vehicular attack, and Julian shielded Ivy with his own body. Surviving the ordeal, Julian was truly repentant, and Ivy chose to offer him friendship and support but refused to rekindle the relationship. Ivy emerged from her past trauma and fell in love with Dr. Hart, who knew how to listen and respect her. The old psychiatric facility was converted into a public hospital protecting victims. Ivy cleared her name and truly took control of her own life.
