Great Ming: I Break Off My Engagement to Xu Miaoyun and March North with Xu Da

After transmigrating to the Ming dynasty, he is reborn as the young Prince of Yan, Zhu Di.

He had hoped to be a carefree young prince, but from the start he is told he must marry Xu Miaoyun, daughter of Xu Da.

"You want me to be a pawn in a political marriage? Dream on!"

In a fit of anger, Zhu Di leaves a letter breaking off the engagement and flees to the northern expedition army camp in the middle of the night.

Xu Da, his prospective father-in-law, hears that his future son-in-law has run away from the wedding and is ready to give the young man a piece of his mind on his daughter's behalf. Then Zhu Di shows up on his own doorstep.

But Zhu Di's performance in the military camp leaves Xu Da utterly dumbfounded.

"General, Fourth Young Master Zhu burned the Yuan army's provisions and broke the siege! We can break out now!"

"General, Fourth Young Master Zhu led just eight hundred men in a surprise attack and threw thirty thousand Yuan cavalry into chaos!"

"General, Fourth Young Master Zhu led five hundred men on a thousand-mile raid, setting fire to the enemy camps and driving the Yuan army into a panic!"

Xu Da: "Is this son-in-law of mine really better at war than I am?"
