The entire incident was a revenge plot orchestrated by the wife's ex-boyfriend. He first used AI face-swapping technology to ruin the protagonist's marriage. Then, when the protagonist was attacked by everyone in the group, the ex-boyfriend appeared as a savior, comforting the wife and attempting to win her back. The protagonist discovered that his wife had known the truth all along and had been playing along with her ex-boyfriend's scheme. Her real goal was to force her husband to divorce her and leave with nothing, because the apartment he had purchased before marriage had appreciated in value, and she wanted half of it. The protagonist chose not to expose her immediately. Instead, he released the chat records between his wife and her ex-boyfriend online. It turned out that the wife had also been deceived by her ex-boyfriend. He had no intention of getting back together with her; he was only using her to obtain information about the protagonist's property so he could sell it to unscrupulous real estate brokers. In the end, all three turned against one another in a spectacular online feud.
