Leng_Chea2yrCommentedI understand the point but why do u have to rant about it every chapter
But no, they had to play the "pig eat the tiger" nonsense, hiding their real identities from their wives for no reason other than to create drama so that everyone could be shocked and awed when they did the big reveal later. Look, I understood if they didn't want people to know if they were secret underground kings or overlords of triads or ex-assassins, and it made sense not to tell the in-laws about that. But why hide it from their wives and keep up the illusion that they were useless? I mean, it was one thing to conceal your identity as "Hades" or "Underground King" or even as a cultivator, but why let your wife and her parents walk over you like…I dunno, a slave, forcing you to do housework, etc.? Because supposedly your love for a wife who apparently looks down on you and refuses to let you touch her (I don't even understand why they consent to marrying the "useless" protagonists in the first place) is more important than your pride? While I admire those who place love over pride, the admiration is misplaced here because this isn't even love. Love had to be mutual, respect had to be mutual, both parties had to learn to trust and rely on each other, otherwise this wasn't a proper marriage or relationship. This was just a one-sided nonsensical affair where the protagonist – despite supposedly being some scary overlord in the underworld – decided to be a doormat and let his in-laws abuse him for no bloody reason other than because he supposedly loved his wife, who clearly didn't deserve his love. It just made no bloody fucking sense. The characters are inconsistent. One moment they were sucking up to their wives, acting as a servant and doing housework, dropping everything to come running when their wives call them while doing nothing when their in-laws abuse and insult them, the next, they were ruthless overlords who kill people who offended them without blinking an eye.
