Despised Son In Law
Framed. Abandoned. Scorned.
Five years ago, Ethan Lu was the shining star of the powerful Lu Family in the Capital. But in a single night, his world collapsed. Framed by his own cousins for a massive financial sabotage, he was disowned by his grandfather and cast out into the streets during a torrential storm. His family called it "mortal experience," but to Ethan, it was a cold-blooded betrayal.
Broken and resentful, Ethan sought refuge in a local dive bar, intending to drown his sorrows. But a chance encounter in a dim motel room changed everything. A mysterious, drugged woman pleaded for his help, and in the chaos of that night, their fates were forever entwined. She vanished the next morning, leaving behind nothing but a silver crescent pendant and a lingering scent of jasmine.
Five years later...
Ethan is now the "trash" live-in son-in-law of the struggling Lin family in Riverview City. To his mother-in-law, he is a useless servant. To his wife, the beautiful but cold Rachel Lin, he is a burden she must protect. To the rest of the world, he is a joke—a man with no past and no future.
But the five-year "exile" is finally over.
As the hidden dragons of his past resurface, Ethan’s frozen bank accounts are reactivated, and the Lu family comes crawling back, begging for his return. Meanwhile, the mysterious woman from that night has returned as Diana Song, the "Iron Empress" of the business world, and she is searching for the man who saved her.
The dragon has awakened. Those who looked down on him will kneel. Those who framed him will tremble. And the "Despised Son-In-Law" will show the world that when a king returns, the heavens itself must bow.
