The Live-In Son-in-Law Refuses to Be Their ATM, and His Ex-Wife's Family Regrets It Bitterly

Su Yang spent four years as the Jiang family's unpaid housekeeper. His mother-in-law treated him like a servant, his brother-in-law called him a freeloader, and his wife handed him 5,000 yuan a month for household expenses as if it were charity.

Then a cup of water splashed onto a plugged-in power strip. The instant electricity coursed through his fingertips, Su Yang awakened the “Origins of All Things” ability.

He could see the past and present of every object: a glass from a dollar store, the origins of a jade amulet meant to bring good fortune, even the fifty-one transfers on his wife's phone.

For four years, his wife had secretly transferred over a million yuan in marital assets to her so-called “sworn younger brother,” investing it in “pre-IPO shares” in a company that didn't even exist.

Divorce was a must. But the down payment on the house that belonged to him, the million-plus yuan in savings she'd siphoned away, and even the personal accident insurance policy worth millions, with his mother-in-law named as the beneficiary, all had to be accounted for, one item at a time.

A million-yuan bargain at the antique market, a three-million-yuan windfall from rough jade, a 500,000-yuan reward for an A-Class fugitive on the Ministry of Public Security's most-wanted list...

In the little over a month before the divorce hearing, Su Yang had only two things to do:

Make those who betrayed him pay, and give the people waiting for him at home a better life.
