Part one: Identity Unveiled, Ex Regretted plot summary
As a modern office drama, Identity Unveiled, Ex Regretted follows the remarkable journey of the Crownvale Corporation's heir, who begins his career as a car salesman before earning his place as CEO through determination and ability. Along the way, Nick discovers who truly values him beyond wealth and status.
Nick Smith is the rightful heir to Crownvale Corporation. He has been in a long-term relationship with Kate, but because his father and sisters never approved of her background, Nick decides to leave home and build his own future instead of relying on his family's fortune. He joins a Crownvale dealership as an entry-level sales associate. Before leaving, he even tells his sisters that if he can rise from intern to CEO within three months, he will walk away from the family for good.
On his first day at work, Nick cautiously waits outside until no one is nearby before stepping out with his bicycle. Moments later, rows of people dressed in black suddenly appear, each carrying graduation gifts while congratulating him: "Congratulations on your graduation, Mr. Smith." Soon after, his sister Amy Smith, a renowned AI researcher, arrives by helicopter, while his other sister, Elizabeth Smith, the CEO of Crownvale Corporation, pulls up in a Rolls-Royce to celebrate this important milestone.
Ever since Nick left home, he has refused to return. Determined to create a happy future for Kate through his own efforts, he turns down his family's support. After another disagreement with his sisters, he rides his bicycle to the dealership. Upon arrival, the manager respectfully greets him as "sir," leads him toward a vehicle, and hands him its keys. Just as the manager prepares to uncover the car, Nick quietly stops him.
Before they can continue their conversation, several customers enter the showroom. Nick immediately shifts into his role and walks over to assist them. Among the visitors are Jason, Kate's childhood friend, and Kate's family, who have come to purchase a vehicle. Acting confidently, Jason tells everyone, "Pick whichever one you want. I'll pay for it." Kate's family admires Jason greatly, but Kate repeatedly reminds them that she already has a boyfriend and refuses to accept Jason's affection.

Episode 7
After discovering that Nick works as a car salesman, both Jason and Kate's mother become even more determined to keep him away from Kate. As Nick runs after the departing car, Jason steps out and warns him to stay away from her. He coldly says, "I'm not wasting any more time on you. Stay away from Kate, or next time I won't be so polite."
Inside the car, Kate's brother insults Nick, calling him a cockroach. He worries that Nick will continue pursuing Kate and drive Jason away. Their mother calmly assures him that she will handle everything herself. That evening, Kate's mother pays a visit to Nick's rented apartment.
The moment she enters, she openly criticizes the small apartment. Nick remains respectful and politely invites her to sit down. Once seated, she wastes no time expressing why she came. She bluntly tells Nick that she has never approved of him and wants him to end his relationship with Kate immediately. "You and Kate belong to different worlds. I don't like you, and I don't respect you. It's time for you to accept that."
She then places a bank card worth $50,000 in front of him, explaining that it equals a year's salary and should be treated as compensation for leaving her daughter.
Holding back his emotions, Nick asks whether Kate knows about this arrangement. Her mother replies that it makes no difference because she has already planned Kate's future. In her eyes, only someone like Jason can provide the life Kate deserves, while Nick comes from an ordinary family with nothing to offer. Hearing those words, Nick is furious and nearly reveals his true family background.
Episode 8
Kate's mother has no interest in hearing anything about Nick's background. Looking around his rented apartment, she mocks his living conditions. "Living in a place like this only proves your family has held you back your entire life. What you think doesn't matter. Kate and Jason are leaving for Europe for a prestigious fellowship."
Shocked by the news, Nick asks Kate whether going to Europe is really her choice. Kate quietly explains, "It's my mom's decision. You know I can't refuse her. She controls everything." Nick insists that he can help her, but Kate cannot believe him. From her perspective, Nick struggles to support himself, let alone stand up against her family.
Before leaving, Kate gives Nick one last promise. She suggests that they each work hard while they are apart and that she will marry him after returning from Europe. Encouraged by her words, Nick happily promises that he will build an empire and give her the wedding of the century when she comes back.
As they say goodbye, Kate's mother calls impatiently from the car, urging her to leave because their flight is about to depart. Nick can only stand there and watch Kate drive away, tears silently filling his eyes.
As the car pulls away, Kate's family notices the CEO of Crownvale Corporation step out and embrace Nick in the rearview mirror. Confused by the unexpected scene, they have no idea who Nick truly is. How long will it take before they discover that the ordinary salesman is actually the heir to Crownvale Corporation?

Over the next three years, Nick builds Nova Intel from the ground up, determined to create the future he once promised Kate. But when Kate finally returns, she doesn't even tell him she is back. Instead, she is already pregnant with Jason's child. Meanwhile, Kate's family continues to look down on Nick and treat him with contempt. It isn't until his true identity is revealed that they finally realize the mistake they have made—and their regret comes far too late.
Nick's real identity is exposed during the Heir's Homecoming Gala, where Kate is also invited. In front of the guests, Nick's father officially announces his son's return to the Crownvale family. Shocked by the revelation, Kate demands to know why Nick hid his identity and deceived her for so long.
Nick calmly answers with the truth:
"I left Crownvale because I wanted us to live an ordinary life together. I built Nova Intel from nothing for our future. But you chose Jason because of his money. You traded three years of love for wealth and status. The greatest regret of my life is ever meeting you."
Nick's words leave Kate devastated. Filled with remorse, she falls to her knees and begs for another chance. However, Nick has already made his decision. He refuses to forgive her and instructs the security guards to escort her out of the gala.
After the celebration ends, Nick's father introduces two accomplished women, hoping Nick will consider finding a new partner and starting the next chapter of his life. Embarrassed by the unexpected arrangement, Nick quickly excuses himself and leaves the scene.
