After the Divorce, I Took the CEO’s Unrequited Love to Get a Foot Massage

Lu Youcai transmigrates into a book and becomes the most powerless good-for-nothing live-in son-in-law in the wealthy Lin family.

On the first day he opens his eyes, his icy CEO wife, Lin Qinghan, slaps a divorce agreement in his face. “Gu Zuo is back in the country. You don’t deserve to keep your name on my household register.”

Lu Youcai is ready to take the money and leave, but she sneers. “A useless loser like you won’t get a single cent.”

Cutting off someone’s livelihood is like killing their parents.

That very day, he rushes to the airport and raises a banner to give his wife’s ideal man a rapturous welcome. He drags the ethereal piano prince to a foot massage parlor to get a membership card, soak his feet, and watch Country Love. The next day, he takes him out for kidney skewers, to an internet cafe, around a wet market, and to dance the “Subject Three” routine.

Lin Qinghan watches helplessly as her ideal man transforms from an aloof flower on a high peak into a happy-go-lucky fool who can haggle, play Fight the Landlord, and yell, “Push the middle!”

She thinks Lu Youcai is just losing his mind.

Only when the Lin Group’s project blows up, investors close in, and the family fights for control does she realize that the man she trampled into the dirt keeps reaching out from beyond the table, turning the tide and changing the course of events.

When Lu Youcai finally signs the divorce agreement and walks away, Lin Qinghan at last understands:

The man she wanted to drive away was never a good-for-nothing. He was the one she would never be able to win back for the rest of her life.
