The Live-In Son-in-Law Male Lead Made a Move on Me

Si Yunyi devoted eight years of his life to the Si family. Finally, before the age of thirty, he retired and took up a nominal advisory position, enjoying life with a generous share of the profits.

On the very first night of retirement, Si Yunyi had a dream. In it, he discovered that the world he lived in was actually a novel titled “The Most Domineering Live-In Son-in-Law”, a typical overpowered male lead fantasy.

In the novel, the male lead Chu Junlie was tricked into marrying into the Si family due to amnesia. For three years, he endured humiliation and contempt. Then, one day, his memories returned, and he rose to power in an instant—slapping every member of the Si family in the face, ultimately leading to their downfall and destruction.

When Si Yunyi woke up, he began seeing events from the dream come true, one by one. At this point, the Si family was in the first phase of humiliating Chu Junlie. Chu Junlie, like a commodity, stood before the younger generation of the Si family, waiting to be “picked.”

• Younger Si 1: “I want to swim in the ocean of knowledge, not bathe in the river of love.”

• Younger Si 2: “Sorry, I make tens of thousands a minute. I’m only interested in making money, not marriage.”

• Younger Si 3: “This is what the Chu family gave us? You guys pick this bumpkin if you want!”

• Younger Si 4: Immediately renounced the world and declared he was becoming a monk.

Seeing Chu Junlie with his head lowered and red eyes, Si Yunyi completely lost faith in the world. He stormed down, twisting the ear of Younger Si 3. Just as he looked up, he met the eyes of the overpowered male lead—carefully watching him, clinging to a final shred of hope.

Si Yunyi: “??!”

The most noble and aloof member of the Si family, Si Yunyi, ended up marrying a bumpkin. Everyone in Ning City was waiting to laugh at them.

• Year One of the Marriage: The bumpkin clung to Si Yunyi like a tail, following him everywhere.

• Year Two: Under Si Yunyi’s guidance, the bumpkin was reformed into a well-mannered, model gentleman—the poster boy for male virtue in Harbor City.

• Year Three: The bumpkin was shockingly found by the capital’s prestigious Chu family and turned out to be their long-lost young master!

Everyone was stunned. As the now memory-recovered, overpowered male lead Chu Junlie stood tall, Si Yunyi calmly pulled out the divorce agreement.

Chu Junlie gritted his teeth, tears in his eyes as he looked at the man he once revered like the moon. His gaze was dark with madness, and he tore off his shirt as he stepped closer and closer to Si Yunyi.

Si Yunyi: “…Y-you, don’t come any closer!”
