My Dead Ex Came Back Rich
Five years ago, she divorced him to save her family—then watched him fall from the sky. He didn't die. He came back as a billionaire, hungry for revenge. Now he owns her as his servant, never knowing she kept his son a secret. But the deeper he digs, the more he finds her painful truth: she sold everything to find him, even borrowed money for his grave. When his son is in danger, revenge turns into regret—and love rises from the ashes.
Story Guide
Episode 1
Five years ago, Zhan Nansheng was pregnant and days from giving birth when a phone call shattered everything: her family had collapsed and her father was badly hurt. She left Fu Jiuqing behind with only a letter, promising to return once things were settled. Then came the second blow—a call from the airline. Fu Jiuqing's flight H366 had crashed. He was gone.
Now, at a grave she can barely afford, she brings their five-year-old son, Xiaojin. The boy stares at a man in the distance and insists he's seen his living father—a man who looks exactly like the face on the tombstone.
Episode 2
Zhan Nansheng is drowning in debt. The cemetery says she's half a year behind on the grave payment; if she doesn't pay, they'll dig up her husband's remains and auction the plot. Two hundred thousand for a grave, overdue rent, and Xiaojin's surgery still unfunded—she needs money fast.
So she takes the one job nobody wants: serving a mysterious, impossibly wealthy new VIP at the bar. Meanwhile, a man known only as "President Fu" is quietly having someone tracked down, his phone buzzing with her file. Xiaojin keeps insisting he saw his father alive, but she tells him he's mistaken—his father is only a star in the sky now.
Episode 3
The VIP is Fu Jiuqing. Alive. Zhan Nansheng freezes—then he lets her have it. He accuses her of leaving a divorce agreement behind, of aborting their child, of being too good for a poor nobody like him. She swears she never abandoned him and left him a letter, but he won't hear it.
He tells her he has only hate for her now, vowing to return every ounce of pain a thousand times over. His men drag her down, and he orders her to kneel and pour his wine like a servant. She came looking for work; she found her dead husband—and her new master.
Episode 4
Humiliation becomes the job. Fu Jiuqing's people mock Zhan Nansheng as a washed-up drunk, boasting they can make her kneel just to sell one more bottle of wine. She takes it—Xiaojin's surgery fee and the rent leave her no choice. She tells herself she can endure anything.
But when she finally confronts him, the fight cuts deeper than servitude. He throws the old accusations at her again: the divorce papers, the aborted child, her supposed regret at marrying a poor man. Then his voice cracks with a question he can't let go of—did she ever think about his child? Her answer stops him cold.
Episode 5
Fu Jiuqing's revenge has a new weapon: real estate. After Zhan Nansheng and Xiaojin are evicted because their landlord sold the building, he has his assistant buy the property at ten times the price—just so she'll move back in. She has no idea her new landlord is the man hunting her.
Meanwhile, a woman named Rou'er surfaces in his life, and Zhan Nansheng assumes he's moved on and found someone new. She tells herself his life is none of her business. But he's already ordered his people to dig into her address and everything about her—and he's not finished with her yet.
Episode 6
Zhan Nansheng and Xiaojin happily move back home, unaware the new landlord is Fu Jiuqing. He arrives to sign a fresh rental contract, and she panics—if he ever learns Xiaojin is his son, he'll take the boy from her. So when the doorbell rings, she hides her son and warns him to stay silent, no matter what.
Fu Jiuqing presses her about the "man" hidden inside. She fires back that he already has a girlfriend, so her life is none of his concern. Rou'er is mentioned, and the tension curdles. But why is he so desperate to know who's in her apartment?
Episode 7
Fu Jiuqing decides to find out exactly who the "wild man" in Zhan Nansheng's home is—convinced she's hiding someone. His jealousy and suspicion collide with her exhaustion, and the confrontation turns ugly. She collapses, and he's left shaken, unable to explain even to himself why he came.
A friend helps get her home, and the talk turns to what matters most: Xiaojin's illness and the surgery fee she still hasn't raised. Fu Jiuqing shows up again, and the cracks in his revenge begin to show. He still doesn't know the child exists—but the truth is getting harder to bury.
Watch it and see how long a man can hold onto hate when the past keeps knocking on his door.
