Wu Yue transmigrates to the 1960s and gets the whole package: a wife, children, and a warm home.

But before he can even enjoy it, he discovers he's transmigrated into a book.

The heroine is his wife, but the male lead is someone else, and Wu Yue is merely a cannon-fodder ex-husband who bullies the weak and has a messy love life.

Wu Yue: "..."

He plans to talk things over with the heroine, and at the very least try to part on good terms.

But as soon as he opens the door, she throws a divorce certificate at him.

Watching the male and female leads gaze at each other with undisguised affection, Wu Yue signs the divorce papers and is left staring blankly at his two children.

After a while of chaos and upheaval, Wu Yue can't stop wondering: Why hasn't that girl who's supposedly going to latch onto him shown up yet?

Guo Lixiu is interested in Wu Yue for one simple reason: he's handsome, owns a home in the city, and has a secure job.

When she finds out he's divorced, she doesn't hesitate to pack her bedding and move into his house, determined to stay.

Neither of them is a saint, so why not just make a life together?

She is incredibly nervous when she knocks on his door.

To her surprise, Wu Yue practically welcomes her inside with tears of gratitude.

Huh?

When Wu Yue remarries, the residents of the family compound are stunned. In this day and age, someone actually throws herself into a pit like that!

No one expects Wu Yue to seem like a different person after remarrying.

He's hardworking and diligent, and even helps solve a major case.

Thanks to his outstanding contributions, he quickly rises through the ranks.

By the time everyone comes to their senses, he has already gone from the young man at the gate to Director Wu, and then to Boss Wu, a genuine industry mogul.

...Many years later, someone asks Wu Yue the secret of his success.

Wu Yue smiles. "It may sound corny, but my goal has always been to have a wife, children, and a warm home. Every major choice I've made in life has been about them."
