Xu Sulan was married to Wu Qingyuan for thirty-two years, working herself to the bone for their family, caring for her paralyzed mother-in-law and looking after everyone, young and old.
In the end, all she got in return was her husband's contempt, her son's disdain, and her mother-in-law's disgust.
After an accident, she discovered the secret her husband had kept hidden: he had married her only to take advantage of her family, and the woman he truly loved was his first love.
He would spend lavishly on his beloved without batting an eye, yet begrudged even a few thousand yuan in household expenses for his wife!
And the son she had loved with all her heart betrayed her too, treating his father's lover like his real mother. Even her daughter-in-law was that woman's daughter!
The moment Xu Sulan learned the truth, she was devastated, but she also saw everything with perfect clarity.
She had spent the first half of her life trapping herself in a cage for her family and living in a mess. Given another chance at life, she wanted nothing more to do with this wreck of a family! She was done with her scumbag husband and ungrateful son!
When she asked for a divorce, her husband sneered. “You're just a housewife. What can you do besides chores and taking care of people? You can't survive without me!”
Her son tried to talk her out of it. “Mom, you're getting on in years. Can you stop making a scene? Do you think you're a career woman like Aunt Luo? Dad hasn't abandoned you, so you should be grateful! If you keep this up, I won't support you in your old age!”
Xu Sulan answered them with actions, giving them both a stinging slap in the face!
Joining forces with her daughter, she exposed the scumbag and his mistress and took down her ungrateful son and vicious daughter-in-law, ruining their reputations and destroying their futures! Riding the wave of attention, she became a content creator and a mega-influencer with millions of followers. She found a partner who matched her strength, and her life took off!
Her ex-husband and son were consumed with regret. They wept and begged her on their knees to forgive them.
