The Useless Live-In Son-in-Law Is Actually the Greatest Man in Great Xia

My new book has just launched. I look forward to your reading and comments.

On her wedding day, Wen Yiyao, the eldest daughter of the Wen family in Jiangcheng, tears up the marriage contract in front of everyone. She humiliates her common-born fiancé, Lu Zhongjin, calling him a “poor, uncultured bumpkin,” then pushes the family’s lowliest adopted daughter, her younger sister Wen Yuan, into the marriage in her place. Amid the hall’s laughter, Lu Zhongjin calmly says three words: “I’ll marry her.”

From then on, Wen Yuan becomes the laughingstock of Jiangcheng, enduring contempt and mockery. She has no idea that the “useless son-in-law,” who brews medicine and cooks for her every day and treats her with boundless tenderness, is actually the heir to a reclusive lineage whose mastery of medicine and martial arts is unparalleled. He came down from the mountains to fulfill a past bond.

As he saves the head of a wealthy family with three acupuncture needles, subdues an underworld boss with a single palm strike, guides a drug company on the brink of bankruptcy to increase its market value a hundredfold, and earns a bow of respect from a master of national martial arts, Lu Zhongjin’s astonishing identity is revealed layer by layer, each revelation delivering a face-slapping comeback on the spot. He even travels overseas to cure the U.S. president of poison and thwart a coup, making a name for himself around the world.

Wen Yiyao is consumed with regret and kneels to beg him to take her back, only to be coldly told, “You don’t even measure up to a single strand of her hair.” The Pei family throws everything into crushing him, only to lose everything, while Pei Shiyu is ruined and disgraced.

In the end, Wen Yuan rises from an adopted daughter forced into a marriage, someone anyone could bully, to become the celebrated Mrs. Lu. With his mastery of medicine and martial arts, and wealth beyond measure, Lu Zhongjin becomes “the greatest man in Great Xia.” He takes her hand and declares to the world, “No one is allowed to lay a finger on my wife. I’ll protect her for the rest of her life.”
