The Coal Magnate's Live-in Son-in-Law

[Feel-good power fantasy] Opening on 10/23, Frost's Descent. Please show your support~

After Ke Dingshi was killed by his lover and left out in the wilderness, he never expected his nemesis, Huo Burang, to avenge him.

Only when Huo Burang died at his grave did Ke Dingshi realize how much his nemesis had loved him. So Ke Dingshi traded all his merit to return to the wretched years of his youth.

Back then, Huo Burang was just a nouveau riche coal boss, wearing thirteen rings across his ten fingers.

Ke Dingshi used to think it was tacky. Now he only thought it was cute.

To stay by his nemesis's side, Ke Dingshi even resorted to seducing him with his looks.

This man was exceptionally good at casually showing off his assets: broad shoulders, a slim waist, long legs, a perfect figure, and a body that really delivered.

"Boss Huo, keep me. I promise you'll get your money's worth."

Huo Burang refused with a cold expression, but the tips of his ears turned red.

Ke Dingshi hooked a finger into Huo Burang's crocodile-skin belt.

"Why not find out if I deliver?"

"...I do."

And so Ke Dingshi smoothly became the live-in son-in-law.

Using his genius for turning stone into gold, he helped the coal boss Huo Burang become a business tycoon, only to be called a pretty boy. Huo Burang thought Ke Dingshi would get angry, but Ke Dingshi hugged him and rubbed against his collarbone.

"Hubby~ Compared to the pretty boys outside, which of us is prettier?"

"What..."

Huo Burang's ears turned red again.

Ke Dingshi took Huo Burang's hand and slid it down the curve of his waist.

"Hm? Tell me, am I pretty?"

"...Yes."

1. High-IQ, devoted-to-his-wife business tycoon x cold-faced, adorable, love-struck coal boss.

2. Note: Both are virgins, both are faithful, one-on-one. No pairing changes or reversals, and no word substitutions. The sweet couple is very much in love, thank you very much.

3. Progression and face-slapping plot: flirtatious tension and romance = 1:1. Note that the wife's role takes up only 30% of the first arc; it's laying the groundwork for Ke's dowry.

Theme: Learn to love yourself before you can love others
