I'm living with my mother-in-law, she tells us a story where it is well known that living with one's mother-in-law is basically hell. So Elaen ends up marrying a poor merchant without a family, where in theory it should be an easy way to "avoid" that kind of problems.
Well, that was our protagonist's plan, however she realizes that her husband, Ahen, lied to her, and that he is actually the son of the fierce Great Mage of the empire, Kanessis Corenea, with whom she will have to live in his palace!
Although intimidated at first, Elaen realizes that Kanessis is nothing like the figures from the mother-in-law horror stories her older sisters told her, ending up falling in love with his charisma and unexpected kindness. The problem here really is the hidden motive of Ahen's marriage to Elaen, which she only discovers after the fact. But with Kanessis’ support, Elaen is willing to face all the challenges of her marriage. Perhaps, after all, living with her mother-in-law has been the best thing that has ever happened to her in her life.

Opinion of "I'm Living With My Mother-In-Law"
I'm Living With My Mother-In-Law, from the beginning it seemed interesting to me, I loved the variety of characters they created and how beautiful both the details and the setting are. At first I thought it would be a weak story but as you go further, you notice more the complexity of the plot.
Its argument is nothing out of this world but it really manages to hook you in. It angers a lot the attitude and actions of the protagonist's disfigured mother. It’s not enough to scold her just for being a girl, but she forces her to take medication that doesn’t allow her to grow and to complete, sell her to an old pervert. But her story gets better when she marries Kiahendel, deceived but it was better than continuing with her life as it was.
Living now with her mother-in-law who loves her like her own daughter, is like finally seeing a beautiful reward after so many hardships. But not before going through several tests such as her growth, the harassment of a woman who wants her husband, the demon wanting her body and last but not least the love of a boy she is hopeful with.
Sincerely this story has a lot of content both happy and sad and at the same time a plot with some twists that one sees coming but at the same time does not, it is easy to read, it can be really entertaining.
