Every Time I Smile, My Family Goes Bankrupt

share time: 2025-12-25 00:34:05

Lin Chuan is the sole heir to the reclusive wealthy Lin family. Since childhood, his grandfather forbade him from smiling—because a century ago, the family was cursed by an evil cultivator: every time he smiles, the Lin clan’s businesses suffer inexplicable ruin. For twenty years, he lived as an “expressionless tool” until his grandfather suddenly fell comatose. The only antidote lies in the “Smile God’s Ruins,” and the key to unlock it is his genuine smile. Torn between losing millions per smile and saving his grandfather, Lin Chuan is forced to “learn to laugh”: holding back a chuckle during a comedy triggers a mall fire; suppressing a grin at a cross-talk show leads to his father’s company being hit by piracy. Worse, a villain coveting the Lin fortune sets traps to make him smile and destroy the clan. As Lin Chuan dodges the “price of smiling” and digs into the curse’s truth, he uncovers a secret: the curse was a lie—his family’s wealth was built on sacrificing happiness, and the real cure for his grandfather is his courage to let go of the “shackles of wealth” and reclaim his smile.
