Blake is as useless as a one-leg chair. A leech, who feasts off his wife's family wealth. That is exactly how everyone sees him. To his wife– he's just the ordinary husband she married out of love, clinging to the hope that he's going to become someone better but things seem to be getting worse. Maybe Blake is really a bad luck as they claim, a paper umbrella in a hurricane and they keep ringing it in her ear to divorce him. Jemina faces daily humiliations from her family and she's always reminded of how Blade has caused her career to plummet into the mud.

Jemina secretly gave him the money but on his way to the hospital, he was attacked and beaten to the point of death. Before he black out– DING! CASHFLOW SYSTEM ACTIVATED.

Three years ago, Ethan Ward was the man everyone admired. He was smart, loyal, and in love. But when the woman he trusted most betrayed him, he was framed for a crime he didn’t commit and sent to prison. In prison, Ethan met Victor Vale, the legendary mastermind who once controlled Eastbridge City’s hidden world. Under Vale’s guidance, Ethan learned more than how to survive. He learned about power, patience, and control. Before he died, Vale gave Ethan a ring— the symbol of the Phoenix Circle— and a warning: “When the fire dies, light it again.” Now, Ethan is free. The world thinks he’s broken and forgotten. But the man who left prison is not the same. He’s smarter, colder, and ready to take back everything that was stolen from him. The city that betrayed him will soon remember his name. The woman who destroyed him will plead for mercy. And the empire that buried him will burn when he returns. Because when the Phoenix rises, nothing survives the flames.
