You Asked Me to Be a Live-In Son-in-Law, Not to Become Unbeatable in the World

Lin Yuan, son of the Heavenly Emperor, seals his divine power and memories to prove his own way. With an innocent heart, he descends to the mortal realm and marries into a once-prosperous merchant family now in decline, becoming a live-in son-in-law whom anyone can bully. From the start, he is humiliated with a broken engagement, forced into servitude, and exiled to the frontier. At the bottom of society, he lives by the principle, “Keep your head down when you can, then amaze everyone when the time is right.” With extraordinary intelligence and the instinct of a heaven-blessed genius that has yet to fade completely, he plans each step carefully. From a son-in-law suffering endless humiliation to a laborer carrying goods under duress, then to a frontier soldier who narrowly escapes death time and again, he eventually becomes a sailor steering his own fate on the boundless sea. In one desperate situation after another, Lin Yuan tempers his Dao heart, makes brothers who will share life and death with him, and quietly builds his strength. As he begins to stand out, he attracts the attention of a darkened powerhouse, a shrewd strategist exiled from the heavenly realm who has sworn revenge. A fated showdown between mortals and banished immortals, underdogs and heaven-blessed geniuses, begins without anyone noticing. In a mortal body, Lin Yuan dares to defy heaven. At last, he uncovers his origins and, with an invincible Dao heart forged through his mortal trials, delivers his strongest sword strike against the lofty Heavenly Dao and fate itself.
