   Never grovels, he brutally beats his cheating wife and the male mistress, every punch landing hard, never forgiving. The first book is a long novel where the protagonist traverses countless worlds, quickly transmigrating through various heart-wrenching and physically abusive pseudo-human fiction worlds, repairing and eliminating pollution by dealing with cheating wives, mistresses, and rebellious family members. The later books are shorter stories, all set in similar worlds to the Liu Ruyan series, where the male protagonist punishes his cheating wife, takes revenge on the mistress, and wreaks havoc, never wearing a green hat! No sullenness!

    🌈Come on, come on! These three are absolute gems. The first one features a female lead who's practically the pinnacle of the "chasing-hero" genre—incredibly intelligent, she's all about quick wit, quick explanations, and quick control over the male lead, ultimately leaving him embarrassed and feeling like leaving was a mistake. The second one, with two female leads, is very good. The third one is by Tomato, a master of the "chasing-hero" genre, a classic work by Axe. The female lead, Bai Xiaoxing, is currently very popular, and in the later parts, readers find her quite adorable and like her a lot.
