Shen Yan transmigrates into a CEO romance novel and becomes the lowest-ranking sacrificial son-in-law in the Shen family. Every day, the young miss Shen Linlang calls him a “useless coward” and a “freeloader,” while the whole family waits to throw him out.
Then he activates the Mind-Reading System and discovers that, though the girl acts harsh toward him, she is hiding a huge secret: her father, Shen Wanshan, plans to sacrifice her to an evil god on the night of the full moon. Behind it all is a cult that has been entrenched for three hundred years, the “Holy Radiance Relief Society,” and even the butler is the pope in disguise!
That very night, Shen Yan scoops up the dazed Shen Linlang and carries her over the wall. Behind them, the pope is in hot pursuit. Ahead lies an unknown escape route. Shen Linlang clings to his neck and cries, “Run! They're coming!”
The son-in-law who was once trampled into the dirt sets out on a remarkable rise, taking the young miss with him. He exposes the Shen family's century-old deception, crushes the thousand-year-old foundations of the cult, and drags all those self-important people off their pedestals.
