   Reader note

   This is a rebirth revenge entrepreneurship novel. The protagonist is poisoned by his wife and reborn, embarking on a series of revenge actions. He confronts his brother-in-law and sister-in-law, forces his father-in-law to kneel, announces his breakup on their wedding day, and sends his wife's family trending on social media. The beginning is frustrating, but the later parts are incredibly satisfying. Then, the business storyline unfolds: the protagonist starts a game company, with his ex-girlfriend, a wealthy heiress, as an investor. Later, he meets an even wealthier heiress from a mafia family. Both women want to be with him, but he's traumatized by his wife's poisoning. He only wants to make money, not chase women; he focuses on accumulating wealth. Then, he crosses over and exposes the two women who poisoned him. The urban slice-of-life is well-written; the author may be from the gaming industry, as the game-related content is written very professionally. I recommend it to everyone.
