For three years, Su Chen, the live-in son-in-law of the Lin family in Yuncheng, has been dismissed by everyone as a useless coward. His cheap, faded suit, his mother-in-law’s cutting insults, and the contemptuous looks of his relatives have become part of everyday life. Only his wife, Lin Yuwei, has always used her kindness to give him a small world of his own.
No one knows that this son-in-law, who silently endures humiliation in the Lin household, was once a renowned God of War. An accident forced him to conceal his identity, and he willingly lay low amid the routines of daily life.
A major project championed by Lin Yuwei, the Lin family’s heiress, suddenly runs into trouble. Their partner mysteriously cancels the deal, putting the family business in jeopardy. Li Shihan, heiress to the rival Li family, takes advantage of their predicament, not only showing up to humiliate them but also trying to seize the project.
At the birthday banquet, undercurrents swirl. As the Lin family teeters on the brink of ruin and the light in his wife’s eyes begins to fade, Su Chen finally unclenches his fist. The sharp edge of the former God of War is about to tear through his disguise, and those who looked down on him will soon understand:
A beast lying in wait is never a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. This battle for dignity and the ones he loves has only just begun.
