Great Han: As the Emperor's Brother-in-Law, I Watch the Boy Zhu Become Emperor Wu

In the third year of Emperor Jing of Han's reign, the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms sweeps across the realm, and panic grips the people of Chang'an. Seventeen-year-old Tian Fen transmigrates into the past and becomes Liu Che's maternal uncle, the future Marquis of Wuan.

While everyone else hesitates, he mortgages his estate, pawns his elder sister's jewelry, and borrows from every loan shark he can find, raising ten thousand gold coins and lending the whole sum to the imperial court. The entire city is stunned: "Has this kid gone mad?" Only Tian Fen knows that the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms will be put down in three months, making this investment a sure thing.

Emperor Jing summons him in the middle of the night, intending to reprimand his reckless young brother-in-law. Instead, he sees Tian Fen kneeling in gleaming armor, asking to join the battle. "I am willing to lead the vanguard and be the first to die for the Han!" That night, Tian Fen receives the seal of Deputy General, mounts his horse, and rides out of Chang'an for Zhou Yafu's camp.

In the military tent, the famous general Zhou Yafu regards him coldly and tosses him a single order: "Go transport the provisions." As the officers around the tent burst out laughing, Tian Fen removes his helmet and throws it to the ground. His eyes flash like blades. "Give me three thousand cavalry, Grand Commandant. If I cannot defeat the enemy, I'll bring you my head!"

Years later, when the mischievous child named Liu Zhi rules the realm, people will still remember how, in the years before the young emperor came of age, one man held this storm-tossed empire together for him.
