Handong: The Sons-in-Law’s Name

Pei Zheng, an overworked office drone who died suddenly after pulling an all-nighter, opened his eyes to find he had been born into the world of a classic anti-corruption novel as a powerful man’s only son.

He thought that with the full plot in hand and a top-tier family backing him, he could rise smoothly through the ranks, dominate Handong, and make up for every regret in the original story.

That was until he blurted out “Father-in-law” at a family banquet at Gao Yuliang’s house, and suddenly realized the world had gone completely off script.

Pei Zheng paused with his wineglass in hand, aghast. This wasn’t just the political world of Handong. It was an all-out clash of every classic TV drama!

Zhao Ruilong declared that no second-generation heir in Handong could be more overbearing than him.

Hou Liangping fancied himself a champion of justice and believed he was the finest son-in-law anyone could have.

Pei Zheng smiled and shook his head. Having seen every script, he was the true player behind this game.

In terms of family background, he had Zhao Ruilong beat. In terms of strategy and vision, he would teach Hou Liangping what a truly top-tier son-in-law looked like.

My name is Pei Zheng. I’ve read the script. But I’m the one who rewrites it.

Every regret will be set right. In this game, the sons-in-law call the shots.
