Never Underestimate a Housewife

Gwen, once the COO of a fitness empire, gave up her career for her family and spent ten years as a full-time housewife, wholeheartedly supporting her husband Arthur and raising their daughter Lily. On the occasion of their tenth wedding anniversary, she accidentally discovered that her husband was having an affair with Chloe, the manager of a jewelry store. Even more cruelly, Arthur had long since secretly drained all their marital assets, even their daughter's education fund had been entirely transferred away, leaving only forty-five cents in their joint account. Even the expensive gifts he had given her were all high-end counterfeits. After seeing through her husband's true nature—selfish, greedy, and objectifying women—Gwen did not cry or break down. She resolved to set a trap, take back everything that belonged to her, and make Arthur pay. Gwen found Maria, a single mother whose daughter suffered from kidney disease and urgently needed surgery fees. Using a substantial payment as leverage, she reached an agreement with Maria: Maria would disguise herself as the daughter of a Texas oil tycoon, using Arthur's ambition to cling to the wealthy and seek large investments to lure him into the trap. Gwen knew Arthur's vain and arrogant personality well, carefully packaging Maria's identity and step by step arousing his desire for high investment returns. Arthur indeed took the bait, dazzled by the fabricated 200% investment return, desperate to seize this opportunity to ascend into high society. To raise the 25 million investment principal, Arthur stopped at nothing, coaxing Chloe—who was already pregnant with his child—into embezzling public funds from the jewelry store, borrowing money everywhere, and selling off assets. During this process, Chloe gradually discovered the truth: all the luxury goods Arthur had given her were counterfeits, and his promises of divorce were nothing but lies. When the embezzlement was about to be exposed and she faced the threat of imprisonment, Gwen stepped in with funds to help Chloe cover the shortfall. The two women, both hurt by Arthur, set aside their grievances and formed an alliance. Chloe's brother, Damian, the president of Sterling Capital, upon learning of his sister's ordeal, also joined the revenge camp. On the night of their tenth wedding anniversary, Gwen staged a scene of catching Arthur cheating with Maria. Desperate to preserve the investment opportunity, Arthur voluntarily proposed divorce, believing he could ride on a wealthy woman's coattails to success. He readily signed the divorce agreement and moved out of the house with nothing. But what he didn't know was that everything was a trap set by Gwen. At the highly anticipated investment signing ceremony, Arthur waited eagerly for the oil tycoon's daughter's investment, but the person who showed up was Chloe. The jewelry store manager he had always despised and belittled was actually the true heiress of Sterling Capital. Chloe publicly terminated the investment and notified the entire industry to blacklist Arthur completely. Immediately after, Maria called on speakerphone, confessing that she was a fraud and had already left the country. Arthur, his dream completely shattered, was surrounded and beaten by employees demanding their unpaid wages. In a wretched state, Arthur met Gwen and finally learned that the entire scheme had been orchestrated by her. Enraged and humiliated, he attacked her physically, but was subdued by Gwen—who had trained in boxing for ten years—with a single shoulder throw. Unwilling to accept defeat, Arthur still wanted revenge, hiring Damian to deceive Gwen. Unexpectedly, Damian had already fallen for Gwen and turned the tables. In a restaurant, Damian revealed his identity as a capital president, and Arthur was taken away by bodyguards, completely disgraced. Half a year later, Gwen founded her own fitness brand, Whitmore Fitness, prioritizing employment for divorced women and single mothers. Maria's daughter's surgery was successful, and she also joined Gwen's company. Damian proposed to Gwen. Gwen refused the constraints of marriage but accepted dating him. Gwen, Chloe, and Maria—three women who had been hurt—supported each other, no longer dependent on men, holding careers and freedom in their hands, heading toward their own brand-new lives.
