The year he turned forty, Lin Wangshan was slapped in the face by his own son in front of everyone.
For ten years, he had been the Zhang family's live-in son-in-law. He cooked, drove, ran errands, and earned money for them, taking care of every big and small matter at home. But in the end, they took everything he did for granted. Even saying "I don't want to" became his fault.
This time, Lin Wangshan had had enough.
He stopped cooking, stopped lending out his car, and stopped handing over money for nothing. Whoever caused a problem could clean up their own mess!
He packed his bags and left the Zhang family, determined to carve out a new path through his own efforts.
But making a comeback in middle age was never easy.
There were opportunities and traps in the business world, and the Zhang family, who had once looked down on him, each had their own schemes now that he no longer obeyed.
Some were waiting to see him hit rock bottom. Others were sure he would come crawling back sooner or later.
They had no idea that this man, who had spent ten years giving way to others, had no intention of turning back.
At forty, he would stand on his own. He had spent the first half of his life living for others. In the second half, he would win back his lost dignity, career, and life, one piece at a time!
