Market Powers: The Son-in-Law Reigns Supreme

Chen Ergou, a live-in son-in-law, makes his living filleting fish at a Jiangzhou market and suffers endless disdain from his wealthy in-laws.

The city seems peaceful on the surface, but ability users lurk in the shadows, all bound by the ironclad rule: “Never reveal your abilities.”

Every day, he scrapes scales in bloody water and gets bullied by thugs. He can barely afford to feed himself.

One rainy night, his ancestral jade pendant shatters, and he unexpectedly gains a golden finger.

He can see into people’s hearts, knowing what they’re thinking after three seconds of eye contact. He can also control metal.

While filleting fish, he comprehends “blade intent.” A delivery run leads him to an underground fighting arena, where he makes a name for himself in a single battle.

The soft touch everyone used to bully now has even the “cleaners” keeping their distance.

A protective widow blushes around him, and women’s hearts race when they see him showing off.

He stands by his fish stall in the market, smiling as he scrapes scales, with countless ability users following behind him.

Three years later, Jiangzhou has a new sign: Ability User Registration Office.

In the end, he’ll break the rules, rise to the top of the common world, and reign supreme amid the bustle of everyday life.
