What is the ending of "The Love of the Sage"?

The ending of "The Love of a Sage" is terrifying if you think about it: the heroine and her best friend get into a car accident, the best friend dies, and the heroine is paralyzed.

The Love of a Sage is a love drama produced and broadcast by Japan's WOWOW TV station in 2016. It was directed by Takashi Minamoto, written by Sawa, and starred by Miho Nakayama. It premiered on August 20, 2016.

Background story

In a room of a high-end hotel, the outstanding editor Mayuko High School is carefully wiping the face of a handsome young man. The young man who maintains a close relationship is Mayuko's good friend Asahi. The son of Yuri Kura and Mayuko's first love, Ryoichi Sawamura. Ever since she met Lily as a teenager, Mayuko has been deprived of her most important things by this greedy girlfriend.

One day, Lily said that she was pregnant with Liang Yi's child. From then on, Mayuko's revenge that she had planned for 20 years officially began. Mayuko cultivated Naomi with her own hands since childhood, and 20 years later, he grew into an ideal handsome man. Mayuko's goal of revenge is to make him his subordinate. Naomi, who was a tool of revenge for her, fell in love with her as expected.

On the other hand, Lily, who is extremely possessive, not only took away Ryoichi, but also took away people who were particularly important to Mayuko in the past. The image of Lily sitting on that man's lap lingered in Mayuko's mind.
