When their son was three, Lin Zhiyi and her husband Shen Xiangning finally decided to divorce after a long period of arguing.
They were so eager that they got the divorce papers before settling the custody arrangement.
Then they transmigrated, arriving when their son was 25.
The good news: their son inherited all their best looks.
The bad news: he's a lawbreaking villainous CEO from a novel, and his ending is tragic.
When they transmigrated, he was strangling a female supporting character, eyes red, speaking in a deep, breathy voice. "Get lost! No one can compare to her!"
Neither could accept reality, so each assumed the other had won custody. "Look, that's your son."
After five seconds of silence,
they said in despair at the same time,
"My son..."
-
Sitting on a bench by the road, Lin Zhiyi suggested, "Go buy his company. If it goes bankrupt, he can't be a CEO anymore. We can solve the problem at its source."
Shen Xiangning turned his pockets inside out. "The problem is that we're the ones who are bankrupt now."
Her gaze slowly settled on a certain spot.
Shen Xiangning turned around and saw a job listing for a male model at a pole-dancing show...
?
Lin Zhiyi: "No job is beneath anyone..."
Shen Xiangning glanced to the side. Another listing: models wanted...
Lin Zhiyi: "Are you telling me to go work?"
Shen Xiangning: "I'm not crazy."
How could he be? Lin Zhiyi had been the center of attention since childhood. Whatever she wanted, people put right in front of her. How could he let her suffer?
It was obvious who would have to suffer instead.

That night, a figure slipped into the Shen family villa without anyone noticing.
Shen Xiangning avoided every security camera in the house and successfully took an inconspicuous little box from the storage room.
Then the shadow retraced its steps.
Just as he was about to leave the villa, a sound came from above: "Click."
Lin Zhiyi: "That's Lucky's door."
Lucky was their dog.
The two of them quickly left the scene and opened the little box.
Inside were neatly stacked gold bars.
Lin Zhiyi narrowed her eyes. "When did you secretly hide away so much private money?"
Shen Xiangning replied in a muffled voice, "In case of emergencies."
It was all the property he planned to take with him in the divorce.
-
After carefully investigating, they discovered that their son had completely turned evil because the female lead of the novel had officially announced her relationship with the male lead on his birthday, despite making him wait in vain all night.
They looked at each other and said in unison, "This is a novel world, right?"
Why not just kidnap the female lead?
As soon as the thought came to them, they rejected the dangerous idea.
They thought they finally understood why their son had become a lawbreaking villain.
Shen Tingxiao waited in the restaurant until midnight, knowing she wouldn't come.
He gave a cold laugh and stood up to leave.
Dark thoughts grew unchecked, and his gaze darkened.
But when he opened the door to his room, he found the person he had been longing for sitting inside.
Only, he couldn't understand what she was saying.
She said, "Two people told me that if I came here tonight, I'd get a hundred million."
"Put it on Shen Tingxiao's tab."
Shen Tingxiao himself: ?
More or less, it's a story about the two of them working together to set their son straight. By working together, I mean the male lead works hard to earn money, and the heroine works hard to spend it.
