On their tenth wedding anniversary, Su Lan catches her husband, Gu Mingyuan, in bed with Bai Weiwei, a young office clerk.
She had poured her family's savings into helping Gu Mingyuan build his business from nothing, raised a son and a daughter, and spent ten years as a full-time homemaker. In return, her husband secretly moved tens of millions in assets and schemed to leave her with nothing, while her mother-in-law criticized her every day for not having more children and for favoring her daughter.
Ten years of endurance, shattered in a single day.
Su Lan, an economics graduate of a prestigious university, sets aside all her gentleness. Overnight, she gathers recordings of the affair, financial records, and evidence of tax evasion, then hires a top lawyer to fight back.
When her ex-husband spreads lies and slanders her, then snatches the children in the middle of the night to blackmail her, she retaliates by exposing irrefutable proof that blows up the parents' group chat. When he freezes the funds to force her to give in, she applies for an asset freeze and cuts off his escape route.
Every last asset is recovered. Her cheating ex's company is investigated for tax evasion and goes bankrupt, his mistress is disgraced, and her scheming mother-in-law's plans come to nothing.
Free from her suffocating marriage, Su Lan starts an accounting and tax consultancy and builds a career of her own. Along the way, she meets Jiang Yi, a kind and dependable lawyer.
She spent the first half of her life giving her youth to her family. In the second half, armed with hard-won confidence, she'll shine for herself alone.
Can help more wives and helpless people.
Overall, the novel is well written, but some chapters are a bit long-winded and may not be suitable for the age of the children.
