After seven years of marriage, Su Miao had secured seven independently developed patents, maintained connections across every circle, and handled every PR crisis. In return, all she got was hurt by her husband, abused by her wicked mother-in-law, and forced to watch her husband's first love move right into their home.

On a drunken night, Lu Jingxing dragged his first love along and trampled on Su Miao's heart. At last, she saw clearly. In the early hours of the morning, she revoked all his System permissions and set a thirty-day countdown to sever their ties.

All it takes is thirty days:

The entire process of Lu Jingxing's legend crumbling. Without Su Miao, whom he had relied on, he repeatedly embarrassed himself at high-end social events. The company's patent licenses were terminated, bringing all Lu Group research and development to a halt. His first love foolishly tried to imitate Su Miao's networking skills and offended business partners left and right. His wicked mother-in-law spread rumors about the heroine among the wealthy wives, but everyone in their circle took Su Miao's side.

Board inquiries, patent lawsuits, and divorce mediation came one after another. More than 1,800 records quantified and accounted for all the invisible labor she had done over seven years. Capital investor Zhao Kai saw an opportunity in Lu Group's hollow shell and set a bet-against-the-odds trap, drawing Lu Jingxing deeper at every turn.

Even his first love left, leaving behind only a notebook in which Su Miao had recorded every detail of their seven years together. Living alone, Lu Jingxing finally understood how good she had been to him.

The thirty-day countdown ended, but the reckoning did not. Su Miao founded Shuheng Technology and launched a tool for quantifying invisible labor. It won venture capital backing, and her proposal became the industry standard across the Asia-Pacific. Lu Jingxing lost his company and exhausted his credibility, left alone to regret everything in his empty office building.

All the male lead has left to say is, “I thought you’d never leave me.”
