Synopsis

[They both think the other is useless and want to use their own abilities to carry the other to success!]

In her previous life, Pei Li and her educated-youth husband, Ji Changming, returned to the city. Before long, Ji Changming took the blame for his younger brother and was sent to prison, where he eventually died of illness.

Pei Li devoted everything she had to supporting her parents-in-law in their old age, but in the end, they still left all their property to their ungrateful younger son and daughter.

Living her life over again, Pei Li looked at her troublemaking sister-in-law and her scheming sister-in-law and decided she was done putting up with them.

She slapped the man awake, who was still fast asleep. If he turned into a sucker again this time, she’d divorce him!

The Ji family soon realized that the timid country woman who had returned to the city with Ji Changming had changed. She no longer worked hard every day to wait on the whole family.

She demanded they split up the household and started her own business.

The Ji family waited to see her make a fool of herself. Instead, she bought a car and moved into a modern apartment. By the time they regretted it, it was too late.

Ji Changming dreamed that he took the blame for his younger brother and ended up dying miserably in prison.

Ji Changming decided he would no longer let his family leech off him. He would focus on his own little family! But why did his perfectly good wife keep threatening to divorce him? Could it be that he wasn’t earning enough, and she still didn’t have enough to spend?
