Description
Zhang Xiaofeng was a top student from Qingbei, a prestigious dual-first-class university. He became a live-in son-in-law of the Su Family and helped manage their business. With his outstanding abilities, the company thrived and flourished under his guidance. However, the Su Family constantly looked down on him because he was a live-in son-in-law and made things difficult for him at every turn. “Zhang Xiaofeng, live-in sons-in-law are not allowed to sit at the table to eat. Take your bowl and eat outside.” Unable to endure it anymore, Zhang Xiaofeng flipped the entire table over. “Not allowed to eat? Then no one eats! Too much trouble? Then cancel everything!” He completely cut ties with the Su Family and left home. The Su Family even threatened him, saying, “If you have the guts, don’t ever come back!” But soon, everything changed for the Su Family’s company. Without Zhang Xiaofeng, they couldn’t deliver what the clients ordered, and breach-of-contract lawsuits piled up one after another…

My Thoughts on I Already Severed Ties With Them. Who Would Bother With Them Now?
"I Already Severed Ties With Them. Who Would Bother With Them Now?" promises a tale of revenge and self-made success after a protagonist endures years of mistreatment. While the premise is certainly enticing, my experience reading about it suggests the execution may fall short of expectations. It feels like a story trying to deliver a cathartic power fantasy, but perhaps stumbling in the process.
First Impressions
The initial setup is familiar: a man marries into wealth, driven by love, only to find himself increasingly alienated and abused by his new family. The story kicks off with the protagonist finally snapping and leaving, setting the stage for a narrative focused on his rise and the family's downfall. It's a classic setup, ripe with potential for satisfying payback.
What Works Well
The core concept is undoubtedly appealing. The idea of a protagonist breaking free from an abusive situation and achieving success is something many readers can connect with. The fact that the story seems to devote considerable time to the ex-fiancée's regret and the family's crumbling empire could be seen as a plus for those seeking a heavy dose of karma. The initial premise of the ex-fiancée immediately regretting her actions could be unique.
Areas of Concern
However, several aspects give me pause. The protagonist's seemingly endless patience, enduring years of abuse before finally leaving, strains believability. It's difficult to reconcile such prolonged suffering with a character who is later portrayed as clever and capable.
The family's behavior also raises questions. Their methods of control seem oddly counterproductive, especially if the protagonist was indeed crucial to their company's success. The narrative logic feels inconsistent. I'm also concerned about the portrayal of the ex-fiancée's immediate regret, which some might find unrealistic and more like a plot device than genuine character development.

Final Verdict
While "I Already Severed Ties With Them. Who Would Bother With Them Now?" offers the allure of a satisfying revenge story, I'm hesitant to recommend it wholeheartedly. The questionable character motivations, potentially illogical plot points, and the inclusion of potentially problematic elements give me pause. I think it might be worth approaching with caution, especially if you're sensitive to depictions of abuse or violence.
