Features: "I've grown accustomed to being a stay-at-home dad, never expecting that a former high-tech company computer programmer like me could handle such trivial household chores so well. But to my surprise, my wife, who held a senior management position at the company, started having records of staying out all night. She also often didn't keep her word, and more strangely, her daily habits changed. She even accused me of not going to work and tried to drive a wedge between me and our children! From all the hysterical signs, I suspected she was having an affair. This made me feel compelled to take preemptive action, as well as solve my biggest problem right now—finding a job. When I was overwhelmed, my wife's company actually offered me a consulting position. I decided to take the job and, at the same time, investigate the reason behind my wife's strange behavior. However, I never imagined the problems I would have to face would be so terrifying. All I could do was fight back to the death."
