Chorasinee often comes and disappears very fast. She warns Akanee about things not to be done wrongly a second time as nobody has two chances in life! During a charity performance, Chorasinee promises to play an evil lady (นางปีศาจ). Somchai Samipak is interested by her. It seems that Akanee met her in a previous life when he was a prince. She asks her life back to Akanee (ถ่วงชีวิต). Robbers try to steal Akanee's jewel but get punished by an invisible spirit. Chorasinee invites Akanee, Thip and Chet to her home in Ayutthaya. Thep Thienchai welcomes them. During Ayutthaya period, Akanee protected the treasure of the Siamese King.

Akanee cut Ubon's head also. Somchai's wife is concerned that Chorasinee goes in his car. Chorasinee’s duty is to keep the Siamese King’s treasure. She is Ubon’s resurrection. Somchai wishes to marry Chorasinee and become rich (มหาศาล). Somchai is somebody dishonest as he killed a dealer before to steal his drugs and to keep the agreed money. Somchai is found dead at Chedi Saam Ong. Strange events occur as Thip's painting, formerly showing a beautiful Chorasinee, is now showing an ugly evil spirit (นางปีศาจ).

Finally the spirit guardian asks Chorasinee to choose somebody to replace her, i.e. Akanee or Thip. She finally accepts to continue doing such role as she cannot choose Akanee as she loves him, she cannot choose Thip as she would lose Akanee's love. Her spirit is then released. Akanee becomes a monk for the rest of his life. They should meet again in another life.
