    This book is really good! The title alone is intriguing! The female lead's character is fantastic. Her mother-in-law wanted her to leave with nothing, bullying and framing her. She gave her mother-in-law a taste of her own medicine, directly arranging a man for her. Her scumbag husband brought his mistress to their company's banquet. She then showed up at the same event with his twin brother, directly having the brother take over the CEO's identity. Because she is the rightful wife, whoever she stands next to is the company's boss. It's like, "Whoever she stands next to is the male lead!" And the foreshadowing is so deep—the scumbag husband's true love has always been the female lead! It's supposed to be a "wife-chasing-after-the-burn" story, but the angst doesn't last more than five chapters before the female lead starts her counterattack! It's truly amazing!
