"Thud!"
Xiao Chen dropped to his knees, his face twisted as if he'd just eaten something vile.
"Ningxue... Ningxue, please don’t! I’m begging you, don’t divorce me, okay? I’m not actually useless—I’m actually really capable!"
By now, Xiao Chen had finally realized that his seemingly indifferent demeanor in the Ji family had been interpreted by Ji Ningxue as sheer incompetence!
If he kept hiding his true abilities, this divorce would be inevitable.
He couldn’t let Ji Ningxue leave him. He’d worked hard for three years, enduring life as a live-in son-in-law in the Ji family, all just to win her over.
He was the Dragon King, the War God! At 16, he founded the Asura Sect. At 18, he established the War God Pavilion. By 20, he created the Dragon King’s Court. And at 22, he retired from the underworld to become a son-in-law in the Ji family. His life had no more grand ambitions left—
Now, Ji Ningxue was his only goal.
Yet the woman he loved most was about to divorce him!
"You? Capable? Why don’t you take a piss and look at your reflection? What the hell do you think you are?"
His venomous mother-in-law, Zhao Li, struck again, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
"I am the Dragon King!" Xiao Chen finally snapped, unleashing three years’ worth of pent-up frustration.
Even a clay figurine has its limits—let alone the once-feared master of the Dragon King’s Court.
"Dragon King?" Zhao Li burst into laughter. "Dragon King? The East Sea Dragon King or the West Sea Dragon King? Why don’t you spit some water then? It hasn’t rained in the capital for three months!"
Zhao Li knew exactly how to push his buttons. Xiao Chen felt like he’d just punched a cloud of cotton.
"The Dragon King’s Court—you know it, right? A top-ten global security conglomerate."
"Dragon King’s Court?"
"That’s right! I’m its founder, codename: Dragon King!" Xiao Chen declared with absolute confidence.
Zhao Li narrowed her eyes slightly.
When Xiao Chen first married into the Ji family, she hadn’t treated him like this.
After all, he’d been personally endorsed by the Ji family’s patriarch. She’d secretly investigated his background multiple times.
She read novels—she knew some live-in sons-in-law with godly backgrounds liked to play dumb, only to reveal their power later and blindside their toxic in-laws.
For the first year, she’d treated Xiao Chen with courtesy. But then... she realized he was just a worthless loser. So she switched to the "evil mother-in-law" act, hoping to force his hand.
Two years passed. Zhao Li was now certain—Xiao Chen was a complete nobody, a pathetic little wimp!
If he’d shown even a shred of ability, she would’ve backed off. But Xiao Chen had endured humiliation for over two years without revealing a thing.
Now, hearing about this "Dragon King’s Court" and his "Dragon King" title—though she’d never heard of it—his confidence made her almost believe him.
Most importantly... he’d just smirked!
She finally understood—this useless son-in-law had been hiding his power all along!
Zhao Li cursed internally. You absolute bastard! I’ve been walking all over you, and you didn’t even let out a fart?
Even the Ninja Turtles couldn’t endure like you!!!
If your background’s so impressive, why the hell didn’t you say so earlier? I would’ve switched roles!
[Dragon King’s Court? A top-ten global security firm? So... ninth place?]
She quickly ran through the list in her head. A top-ten security group sounded impressive, but compared to Jiang Che? It was nothing.
After weighing her options, she made up her mind.
Screw you, you dumbass Dragon King! Even if your background’s legit... I won’t indulge you. A loser’s still a loser, no matter how powerful his connections. I won’t let Ningxue waste her life on trash like you!
Revealing yourself now? Too late!
"What kind of dumbass Dragon King? Never heard of it!"
"Delusional! Reading too many novels? You actually think you’re some badass hidden powerhouse?"
She was doubling down!
Xiao Chen’s expression darkened. He’d dropped the Dragon King title, and his mother-in-law still didn’t believe him?
Hmph, ignorant fool!
Steadying himself, he turned to Ji Ningxue with a tender gaze.
"Ningxue, there’s something I’ve kept from you for a long, long time..."
Xiao Chen was about to unleash his ultimate move!
Staring at Ji Ningxue’s breathtaking face, his breath hitched. He could already picture her overwhelmed with gratitude.
"Ningxue, remember all those crises the Ji Group faced over the past three years? Each time, a mysterious donor stepped in with funds..."
Before he could finish, Ji Ningxue laughed—coldly.
"Oh? Are you about to claim that the so-called ‘angel investor’ was actually you? That you secretly donated billions to me?"
Xiao Chen froze, then beamed. "Ningxue... you knew all along?"
Ji Ningxue’s beautiful face turned icy.
"Of course I knew. How could I not?" She was barely containing her fury.
Only then did Xiao Chen, the little Dragon King, notice something was off.
"Ningxue, I know you might not believe me, but I can recite every donation amount and date!"
No more hiding—he was laying it all out. He was the angel investor!
Ji Ningxue looked at him with disappointment. "Xiao Chen, I thought you were an honest man. But now... you’re lying? And with such a pathetic lie?"
"Ningxue, I—I can prove it! Look... here’s the notebook I kept after every donation." He pulled out a crumpled little book from his pocket.
"May 8, 2024: 920 million..."
To his shock, Ji Ningxue didn’t even glance at it.
"How impressive. You did your homework well, didn’t you? Sneaking around the Ji family for three years, gathering intel on the Ji Group?"
First impressions were deadly.
Jiang Che had gotten to her first—and Ji Ningxue already had feelings for him. There was no way she’d believe Xiao Chen now.
"I—" Xiao Chen was speechless.
Then, inspiration struck!
He had witnesses! If Tiaozao could produce all the donation records, Ningxue would have to believe him!
"Ningxue, wait! Let me call one of my subordinates. He manages all my funds."
With that, he dialed Tiaozao.
On the other end, Tiaozao was deep in coding a new framework. Xiao Chen’s call ruined his mood.
"This damn Dragon King, always causing trouble!"
Since betraying Xiao Chen, he’d lost all respect for him.
But then he remembered the mission assigned by the God of Hackers—and a smirk crept onto his face.
The God of Hackers had promised that if he successfully scammed Xiao Chen, he would teach him even more advanced hacking techniques. Already at the pinnacle of the hacking world, he was desperate to break through the technical barriers!
So this Dragon King—he was absolutely going to take him down!

Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
