Perilous Housewife

share time: 2026-01-17 00:31:36

Su Xiaotang, a full-time housewife for five years, has become a "transparent person"—her husband Gu Mingyuan is emotionally distant and work-obsessed, her mother-in-law calls her a "freeloader", and a mistress even shows up with a pregnancy test report to force her out. On the verge of collapse, she activates the "Perilous Housewife Counterattack System": completing quirky tasks like "making her mother-in-law praise her cooking" or "exposing her husband's lies" unlocks skills like "Scum-Identifying Eyes" and "Career Cheat Codes". She wins over her mother-in-law with her cooking, makes the mistress cry with three words, and starts her own housekeeping business by helping neighbors solve workplace disputes. Lu Mingchuan, a sharp-tongued lawyer who once looked down on her, becomes her partner in uncovering plots—their bickering hides subtle sweetness. But her husband's "busyness" is actually asset transfer, and the system's prompts hold an "unfinished promise" about her. In this funny, anti-cliché counterattack, a woman is reborn from a dependent to a controller.
