It Wasn't Until I Married the Eldest Princess

The Great Yan is at the height of its power, waging war in every direction and striking fear across the world. Even the distant southwestern lands are forced to submit to its might. At the same time, the Great Yan court has issued a Martial Arts Ban: anyone who practices martial arts among the common people is to be put to death.

After transmigrating, Li Xiu knows nothing of the rules. Blessed with exceptional talent, he happily trains to become the strongest under heaven. When the court discovers him, the whole world is sent to hunt him down. So he decides to take on the court head-on. After several years, he crushes the pursuing soldiers and armies, then assumes a new identity and goes into hiding in Jiangnan, where he begins a quiet, peaceful life. He even takes a wife.

His wife is beautiful and kindhearted. Though, like any ordinary girl, she is fond of silk and jewels, she comes from a humble family and treats such luxuries as if they were everyday items. She is also very frugal and manages the household well.

One day, word spreads that the Great Yan's eldest princess has come to Jiangnan. They say she is exceptionally talented and beautiful, practically half the emperor of Great Yan. But the emperor ordered her to leave the capital and find herself a husband. Surely she'll take out all her resentment on someone else. Whoever marries her is doomed, tsk tsk. Poor guy! At least it won't be me... right?

...Huh?
