Luo Yao is a poor kid and a terrible student. To save his critically ill adoptive mother, he takes his childhood friend’s place and marries into the wealthy Lin family, becoming a live-in son-in-law whom everyone can bully. On his wedding night, he receives divorce papers, followed by a barrage of provocations, poisoning, false accusations, and traps set by the family’s second daughter, Lin Shuang. Everyone thinks he won’t survive three chapters, but then he awakens the Responsibility System: every promise he keeps earns him knowledge, wealth, prestige, and skills. With a warmth that reaches people’s hearts and an iron hand when faced with opposition, he carefully makes his way through the Lin family. He takes down his spoiled sister-in-law, saves his sick wife, investigates the poisoning, and seizes control of the shares, following the clues to uncover a shocking secret behind the two families’ marriage alliance twenty years ago. When the mystery of his birth is finally solved, he learns that he is the eldest legitimate son of the Luo family. Lin Wanqing’s illness, his adoptive mother’s poisoning, and the ambitions of the mysterious financier Mr. K all stem from the same genetic deception. Faced with the ultimate choice between responsibility and personal happiness, Luo Yao exposes the deepest secrets of the wealthy elite through a farcical substitute marriage. “You only saw me marry in someone else’s place. You didn’t see me uphold justice on Heaven’s behalf.” From a bullied, underachieving live-in son-in-law to a genetic legend who shakes up international capital, this is a thrilling tale of staking his life on responsibility and using sincerity to defy fate.
