What The Lame Tycoon Son-in-Law is about
Chu Yan, a trillion-dollar tycoon, concealed his identity and married into the Lin family for three years to repay a debt of gratitude. Pretending to be a crippled useless son-in-law, he endured endless humiliation. His wife Lin Wanqing forced him to divorce publicly to curry favor with the Gu family.
It runs 80 short episodes on HappyShort and leans on CEO romance, marriage drama and secret identity tropes, with each episode ending on a hook.
Is it worth watching?
If you came for CEO romance, the payoff is the power gap between the leads and who ends up holding the cards. On top of that: a marriage that starts on the wrong foot and has to be earned.
The whole series takes roughly 2–3 hours, so it's an easy binge.
