Did My Rich Mother-in-Law Find Me Pleasant Today?

Upcoming: You Go In, You Go In Too; Hello, Please Bite Me

Lu Qingshi's rich second-generation identity was like a limited-time trial.

When he was in middle school, his biological father won the lottery and became rich overnight. In a daze, Lu Qingshi spent the next ten years as a rich second-generation kid.

People in their social circle were polite to his face, but behind his back they called his family "lottery nouveau riche."

To prove himself, his father encouraged him to study and get into graduate school, turning their family into a scholarly household. At the same time, he invested everywhere to prove his business acumen.

Then his father's investments went bust, wiping out the family fortune.

With their bankrupt household like a thesis that had gone to shit, Lu Qingshi was frantic with work. He still had to help out at a club for a junior schoolmate who owed him a favor.

He never expected a husband to fall from the sky. A man suddenly proposed marriage to him.

Lu Qingshi saw that the man was handsome, fit, and decent, gentle and polite, and from a wealthy family. He was a living, breathing diamond bachelor.

Most importantly, he could help Lu Qingshi revise his thesis!

Lu Qingshi was smitten. So what if the man was older and already had a kid?

No problem. He'd get a beautiful son for free, and his life would be complete.

The two quickly got their marriage license, and Lu Qingshi began his life as a dad.

Some time after the wedding, Lu Qingshi leaned against the wall for support. Sure enough, earning money from a capitalist wasn't easy. He looked after the little one during the day and dealt with the older one at night. His back hurt, his ass hurt, and his head was pounding even harder from helping the kid with homework.

Even worse, his wealthy mother-in-law seemed to have it in for him. She took every opportunity to make a snide remark.

If she rolled her eyes at him, he'd roll his right back. Fair is fair, and he wasn't about to make himself miserable.

After an accident, Lu Qingshi discovered that his mother-in-law was actually kind of cute.

So he took the initiative and extended an olive branch. His mother-in-law couldn't resist the temptation and accepted his friendly invitation.

That very night, the headline about a wealthy mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dancing with male models at a nightclub shot to the top of the trending list.

After the revelry ended, Lu Qingshi had just come out of the restroom when someone pulled him into a private room and pinned him against the wall. "Sweetheart, are the male models in better shape than me? You weren't like this last night. You said your husband had the best body and was the best. Were you lying to me?"

Lu Qingshi was horrified and hurriedly covered the man's mouth to stop him from spouting nonsense. What on earth are you saying!

Upcoming Story

You Go In, You Go In Too

Synopsis:

As the worst-performing employee in the small-world crime-fighting System department, Zuo Qingxian sticks to the principle, "Go ahead and fire me if you can," and comfortably holds the title of worst employee.

Zuo Qingxian doesn't think there's anything wrong with him. As an outstanding young man who used to work as a lawyer and now works in crime prevention across small worlds, he naturally ought to contribute to maintaining public order.

In the first world he was assigned to, the male lead illegally imprisoned the heroine and restricted her freedom. The sentence: up to three years in prison, criminal detention, public surveillance, or deprivation of political rights.

In the second world, the male lead deliberately assaulted the heroine, causing minor injuries. The sentence: up to three years in prison, criminal detention, public surveillance, or deprivation of political rights.

In the third world, the male lead committed intentional homicide. The sentence: death, life imprisonment, or at least ten years in prison.

After sending the male leads of N worlds to jail,

System 250 wailed and burst into tears. "These are old-school novels from twenty years ago! That's just how things were back then. You take everything way too seriously!"

Zuo Qingxian raised an eyebrow. "Being old-school isn't an excuse for breaking the law. Your values are all wrong. I recommend sending you back to the factory for repairs, or scrapping you."

System 250: !!!

No one gets a free pass. You go in, you go in too. All of you are going to jail!

Before Zuo Qingxian was about to transmigrate into another small world, System 250 nearly got down on its knees.

System 250: "Please, I'm begging you, stop sending the male leads of these worlds to jail! I'm becoming a laughingstock in the System community. Just play the devoted, lovesick second male lead. Once the mission ends and they get their happy ending, our work is done too."

Zuo Qingxian looked at it seriously. "Then give me a world where the male lead isn't a walking violation of the law!"

System 250: "..."

The transfer succeeded. Seeing the male lead of the new world, You Chunnian, Zuo Qingxian regarded him with suspicion and wariness.

Just then, the older sister in this small world, who was also the heroine, came up to him. "Hey, do you hate him too? I saw you roll your eyes at him. He carries Buddhist prayer beads around all day, acting like some Buddhist prince of the capital. Damn, I hate show-offs the most."

Zuo Qingxian nodded. Based on his years of experience sending people to jail, people who put on airs like this usually got at least three years.

His sister said, "Great! You hate him too, so I'll leave it to you to break off this engagement!"

Zuo Qingxian: "Leave it to me."

Three months later, the betrothed from the Zuo and You families had changed from the older sister to the younger brother.

His sister: "You're my real brother! You sacrificed yourself for me. From now on, whenever I eat strawberries, I'll save the strawberry bottoms just for you! You'll always be my number-one servant!"

Zuo Qingxian: "Don't worry, leave it to me!"

Six months later, the two families held a wedding.

His sister: "You have to run, or it'll be too late!"

Zuo Qingxian: "Sis, I have my own pace. Don't worry, I'm almost done (gathering evidence)."

A year later,

His sister: "Mr. Taking-His-Time, you still haven't run? If you don't hurry, I'm afraid you'll be able to have a baby yourself."

Holding his aching lower back, Zuo Qingxian wept bitter tears and took the initiative to ask You Chunnian, "When are you planning to break the law? Give me a definite answer."

You Chunnian: "Don't even think about it. I'm not giving you a chance to marry someone else."

Theme: Live toward the light, and meet at the summit.
