The Rise of The Bullied Son in Law

In order to prove to his wife and her family that he is not just "the useless, good-for-nothing gigolo", Dean decided to help his wife to become the sole-inheritor of the Ma Fenghuang Empire.

* * *

The only reason Ma Qingshan agreed to marry a foreigner, Dean Summers, years ago was to make her grandfather, Ma Fenghuang, happy even if she has to enter a loveless marriage. A marriage that was based on a fifty-year-old promise. A marriage that her cousins were not willing to enter. And the only reason she still keeps him by her side is pride. Nothing else. Her entire married was nothing but a lie.

With her grandfather's sudden wish to choose an heir, she wants to prove to her conservative family that females were also capable of leading an empire and not just to be married off to strengthen connections or in her case, fulfill an old promise. Qingshan is determined to do whatever it takes and calculates her plan carefully.

What she does not anticipate is that one of her grandfather's conditions for the chosen heir is to have an heir to make sure the empire will never fall to an outsider's hand and forever stay in the family. Knowing her marriage is nothing but a lie that has never been consummated before, Qingshan's determination starts to falter.

Little does she know that her so-called useless husband is coming to her rescue.
