The Rise of the Forsaken Son-in-Law Lin Chen

abaah_shadrach
In the neon-lit heart of Shanghai, Lin Chen is the ultimate joke—the forsaken live-in son-in-law of the prestigious Su family. For three years, he has swallowed insults, scrubbed floors, and watched his beautiful wife, Su Wanqing, treat him like air while arrogant young masters circle her like sharks. But Lin Chen hides a secret that could topple empires: he is the last survivor of the legendary Shadow Yin Clan, his bloodline sealed after a bloody betrayal. When a deadly plot threatens the Su family and forces him to unleash a sliver of his forbidden power, the masks fall. The trash becomes untouchable. The forsaken rises to sovereign. As hidden cultivation families, ancient sects, and billionaire overlords with dark arts emerge from the shadows, Lin Chen carves his path through face-slaps, betrayals, and escalating wars. Will he protect the wife who once scorned him, or will vengeance and destiny consume the city that rejected him?

The Dragon Heir's Secret Mother

She is his enemy. He wants her son. And he just asked her to marry him. “Marry me.” “W-What?” Selene came to the Northern Territory under a false name—Lina—with a single goal: to uncover the truth behind the black scales on her son’s shoulder and the identity of his mysterious father. Instead of answers, she finds herself face-to-face with Caelis Valerian, the Grand Duke of the North—a man feared for his ruthlessness toward mages, yet revered as the unwavering protector of the beast clans. To the world, Lina is nothing more than an ordinary woman. But in truth, she is Selene—a powerful mage and swordswoman, feared by bandits and respected by mortals. Her son, Claude, however, appears to be an ordinary little boy. So why does the Grand Duke take such a keen interest in him… to the point of naming him his heir? To make Claude his legitimate successor, Caelis offers Lina a three-year contract marriage—one she cannot refuse. What begins as a cautious arrangement soon shifts. Trust grows as the distance between them fades, and before they realize it, love begins to bloom. But love built on secrets is fragile. Selene is the legendary Lunar Frost Sovereign—the very enemy Caelis has been hunting, with a bounty placed on her head. And Caelis, unaware of the truth, hesitates to grow closer to her, believing her heart still belongs to the man who fathered Claude… his own brother. When the truth is finally revealed, will their love survive—or will their contract marriage shatter before it ever truly begins?
