You Forced Me to Tear Off the Mask

Chen Mo lived like a shadow in the gutter. His credit was stolen by his boss Wang Hai, he was made to take the blame, and eventually kicked out of the company. Relatives constantly jabbed at him with his cousin's "success," and his first love Lin Wei, now married, still condescended to "charity" him. His parents' calls were only about demands and sighs over his incompetence. "Disliking your poverty, fearing your wealth, hating your success, laughing at your failure, bullying your weakness, envying your strength"—he tasted all six poisons of human nature. Until an overseas call revealed the truth: he was the sole heir of a mysterious tycoon, holding a massive fortune capable of overturning the rules. Chen Mo chose to hide his wealth and return with cold eyes. He watched the clowns continue their revelry and precisely laid a net. Then, Wang Hai, who had stolen his credit, knelt to beg for his help after a project collapsed; the boss who forced him to take the blame repented on his knees at the brink of bankruptcy; his boastful relatives wept for their children's futures; and the woman who humiliated him begged for reconciliation after her wealthy marriage fell apart. When all those who had trampled on him realized that the "savior" they begged was the Chen Mo they had ground into the mud, he tore off all disguises, revealing icy fangs: "I gave you chances. You forced me to tear off the mask."
