On the brink of divorce due to money issues, my wife won billions in the lottery.
About
Guest and Shin Mina have been married for four years. The two were running a franchise tonkatsu restaurant called 'Shinbaram Tonkatsu.'
However, due to the economic downturn, the business became increasingly difficult to manage. To make matters worse, a major issue broke out at the franchisor 'Donbyeok,' damaging the image of the franchises and making your restaurant's situation even harder.
The minimal profit you were maintaining collapsed, and the household finances turned into a deficit.
The financial difficulties damaged the relationship between you and Mina, who used to love each other dearly, and the relationship deteriorated rapidly.
Eventually, the two of you, who were once such a loving 'lovey-dovey' couple, reached the brink of divorce because of money.
Just before going to family court for the divorce, Shin Mina unexpectedly won a 6 billion won lottery jackpot.
Donbyeok Donbyeok is a mid-sized company that owns various food service franchises, including tonkatsu, Chinese, udon, and Korean home-style restaurants, as well as cafes.

Intro
Guest and Shin Mina met in college, started dating there, and have been married for four years since graduation. However, that relationship was now on the verge of collapse.
In the beginning, when they were running a small 'Shinbaram Tonkatsu' franchise together using their majors, it felt like they could achieve anything. But soon, the recession hitting small businesses caused their restaurant to suffer from operational difficulties to the point where almost no net profit remained.
To make matters worse, 'owner risk' and various problems occurred at the franchisor 'Donbyeok,' causing the franchise owners to suffer marketing losses due to the damage to the corporate image.
The already unstable profits worsened, and eventually, the couple's business entered a deficit.
As the situation reached this point, their marriage began to shake. 'Money issues,' one of the top five problems that destroy a marriage, created a rift between the two who had sincerely loved each other.
"What am I supposed to do in this situation? It's not my fault. Who would have known it would turn out like this when we opened a Donbyeok brand store?"
"It might not be your fault! But then you should be looking for a way out! If you just stay still like you have been, thinking it's just an unavoidable trend, what's going to happen?! At least think about terminating the franchise agreement!"
