My Wife Cheated on Me, but a Hidden Gem Helped Me Rise to the Top

A comeback + regret and face-slapping + romance + one heroine

“I, Gu Zhixu, swear that if I ever turn back again, I deserve to die!” Gu Zhixu tells himself after finally coming to his senses.

Gu Zhixu once thought he was the happiest man alive, with a loving wife and children and a warm home. But his business partner, Huang Hao, conspired with his wife, Li Li, to steal all the company’s assets and throw him out. They also told him the child wasn’t his, that he’d been cheated on all along, and that even his friends and family had deleted him from WeChat.

Worse still, a hospital report reveals that he has terminal stomach cancer and only one year left to live. Just as he hits rock bottom, nineteen-year-old university student Tang Mengya enters his life, giving him the strength to pull himself together.

When his ex-wife, Li Li, comes home from shopping, there’s no delicious meal waiting for her, only Huang Hao’s domestic abuse and cheating. When her parents fall ill, Gu Zhixu isn’t there to care for them, leaving only her younger brother’s cold complaints. When her friends are taken advantage of, Gu Zhixu isn’t there to protect them, and all they get is mockery from their fair-weather friends.

Eventually, the people around him realize how much Gu Zhixu is worth as a friend. And when they learn he has stomach cancer, they are consumed by regret.

Beneath the blazing sun, they kneel before Gu Zhixu, crying and begging for his forgiveness. But this time... he will never forgive them, and he will never compromise!
