Chilling Plot! Mother-in-Law Hires “Sponsored Man” to Trap Daughter-in-Law in Affair to Force Son’s Remarriage

A mother-in-law has caused a massive shock by hiring a sponsored man, roughly the same age as her own son, to incite her daughter-in-law to have an affair.

In the “Case Notebook” segment of Channel A’s ‘Business Secrets’ aired on the 11th, a case was revealed that exposed the ugly side of human nature: a husband cheating on his wife, a mother-in-law trapping her daughter-in-law, a daughter-in-law who easily fell into the trap, and a man who exploited that desire for an affair.

At the center of it all was a mother-in-law who started as a scrub mistress and became famous among the wives of chaebol families in her youth. She used information she overheard from clients to save money tenaciously and eventually became a successful aesthetic business owner. However, despite her glamorous success, a complex about her origins as a “scrub mistress” followed her for her entire life.

Because of this, she was desperate to marry her son into a prestigious family. However, her son married a woman from a poor background who had worked at her aesthetic clinic after an unplanned pregnancy, and the mother-in-law strongly disliked her. Furthermore, people around her whispered, “Like attracts like,” and “Even if a scrub mistress becomes a nouveau riche through eavesdropping, her origins don’t disappear.” Consequently, the mother-in-law suffocatingly controlled the daughter-in-law’s food, clothing, and relationships, leading the daughter-in-law to suffer from a miscarriage and panic disorder due to extreme stress.

During this time, the mother-in-law discovered that her son’s mistress was the daughter of a professor’s family, with a grandfather who had served as a university president. Consumed by greed, she planned a “calculated divorce” for her son. Under the guise of treating the daughter-in-law’s panic disorder, she sent her to the pottery studio of a young man who had long been in a sponsored relationship with her, orchestrating an affair between the two.

Falling into the trap, the daughter-in-law brought the other man into the newlyweds’ home and completely fell for the dream of a fresh start after divorce. Afterward, the mother-in-law intentionally exposed the affair, using it as a pretext to force the couple to divorce and successfully arranged for her son to remarry the new daughter-in-law from the professor’s family. Watching the video, daily detective and singer Byeol expressed her disbelief, saying, “It’s a battle of who did worse,” while Yu In-na remarked bitterly, “The greed is endless.” Finally, Byeol shared her affection for her husband Haha, saying, “I realized how happy my loud and busy life is” and “My husband is so precious.”
