My name is Li Ran, and from the start, I’m the Tang dynasty’s top son-in-law.
The trouble is, my father-in-law, Emperor Zhongzong of Tang, Li Xian, is at the lowest point in his life, and my wicked mother-in-law, Wei, wants to poison me to death. Luckily, my beloved wife, Princess Yongtai, is unwaveringly devoted to me.
My life goals are simple: take down the old fox Wu Zetian, help my father-in-law seize the throne, and, while I’m at it, turn this useless emperor into a ruler whose civil and military achievements command the world.
That’s right. Life as the top son-in-law is just so dull and uneventful.
