I live with my wife.
I will live another day.
To live means both to dwell and to be alive.
- English (US)
"Live in" means you have a certain place you live in
example:
I live in a small house.
I live in America.
I live in a large city.
"live" is just the verb and can have different ending besides just a place
example:
I live to dance. (meaning the person feels that dancing is their main purpose on live or that they find extreme joy in dancing)
I live here.
I live with my roommates.

Live has two different meanings. One is to "to reside," or 住. The other is "to be alive", which, I think, is close to "活着", but it is a verb.
"In" is a preposition. It, and other words like it, such as "with" and "at", are used like 在 to describe where you live.
