Nang Marn

In the past, the Mahejakra family was a grand and wealthy noble house, rich in rank and fortune. However, what people spoke of most was Fuang, the only daughter of Phraya Arak and Khun Ying Sriruan. Her beauty was renowned far and wide, incomparable in appearance, status, and title. She was a woman who possessed everything any woman could desire.
She was betrothed to Pan, the son of a wealthy tycoon with equal status and looks—a match seemingly made in heaven. The wedding was approaching... but a secret was hidden that no one knew.
Fuang was in love with Chun, a man of Chinese descent who was merely an employee in a fabric shop. Their love had been kept secret, known only to Oun and Tubtim, Fuang’s nannies, who acted as spies for their secret meetings. As the wedding date drew nearer, Fuang and Chun grew anxious. One night, during a secret meeting, Fuang was caught by her father, Phraya Arak. Furious that his daughter had lowered herself to love a commoner, he chained her to a pillar in her bedroom to prevent her from sneaking out again.
At the same time, an order was given to Nai Bia, the head slave, to take Chun away and kill him. However, Nai Bia, sympathizing with Chun’s good nature, spared him and secretly let him escape. But things did not go as planned. Chun, having survived, seized the opportunity to return to Phraya Arak’s house to rescue Fuang. Fuang agreed to leave everything behind for her love for Chun. When Pan learned of this, a hunt began immediately!
In the dense forest, Chun and Fuang stumbled upon an abandoned temple near a cliff. Chun’s injuries from being stabbed by Pan worsened. Realizing he might have to return Fuang to Pan, Chun refused to give up. He asked Fuang to make a vow: if they could not be together in this life, they would follow each other in love across every lifetime forever! After the vow, Chun tied the other end of the chain to his own ankle and jumped off the cliff, committing suicide along with Fuang.
But then, the unexpected happened. Fuang died, but Chun survived!! Chun lost consciousness until Nuan and Hunter Mee, who were foraging in the forest, found and rescued him. Fuang entered the realm of death alone, without her lover. Seeing her body separated from his with longing, her spirit followed Chun. This event led Nuan to meet Chun. Eventually, Chun escaped and attempted to jump off the cliff again. On the way, he met a wandering monk who, through meditation, foresaw Chun's thoughts and taught him until he came to his senses and no longer sought death.
(Present Day) Year 2013
True Pair... to... Karmic Enemy
Chetawan is the reincarnation of Chun. Along with Sit (or Sing in the past), his buddy, they go trekking in the forest with friends and get lost, stumbling upon the abandoned temple (where Chun and Fuang made their vow before dying). This disturbs Fuang’s spirit. When Fuang sees Chetawan, she is overjoyed and follows him to the capital city.
Net-apsorn (or Nuan in her past life) is disappointed by fate after failing to become a nurse. However, she receives a job offer to care for a young, wealthy patient who requires 24-hour nursing care. Net decides to accept the job as a private nurse for a tycoon suffering from a strange condition: his heart stops beating when he sleeps, requiring a ventilator at all times. This tycoon is a playboy.
When Net becomes Chetawan's nurse, all the resentment Nuan held in the past resurfaces immediately. One night after a heavy celebration, a drunken Chetawan returns home. In his stupor, he forces himself on Net. She fights back, refusing him, and decides to quit her job and leave his life.
Net’s actions make him reflect. She makes him realize the value of a woman for the first time. Chetawan tries to contact Net through Doctor Kong, Paramee, and Thip to apologize. Furthermore, he abandons his Casanova ways. Chetawan’s transformation surprises everyone around him. However, the more Chetawan tries to be good to Net, the more Fuang tries to harm her.
One day, Fuang causes a car to crash into Net. In a split second of danger, Chetawan uses his body to protect Net, leaving him critically injured and in a coma (a sleeping prince). Net is deeply moved by what Chetawan did for her and decides to open her heart to love him, willing to do anything for him to wake up again.
When Paramee, Doctor Kong, and Thip learn that their dear friend Net is in trouble, they invite her to practice dharma to extend Chetawan's life for 7 days at a retreat center run by Khun Suang (or Khun Ying Sriruan in her past life). In meditation, Khun Suang sees Fuang’s spirit staring with intent to harm Net. She begs Fuang to let go of Chetawan and Net so she can be reborn, but Fuang refuses to listen to her past-life mother. Khun Suang tries to make merit and dedicate it to Fuang, hoping she will find peace, but fueled by vengeance, Fuang refuses to accept any merit.
Fuang’s spirit meets Chetawan again. She tries to take him back to the spot where they jumped off the cliff together, hoping he will commit suicide again to be with her. But out of pity and realizing that he was the one who created this karma, he decides he must end this matter himself...
Will Net-apsorn’s love for Chetawan be fulfilled? Or will she lose to the venomous love and vengeful force of Fuang in this lifetime?
