Back to the Great Ming as a Princess’s Husband

Back in the Ming dynasty, he marries a princess who has fallen on hard times and passes the imperial examinations to become an official. His life should be carefree. But before he can even take up his post, he's dragged into court intrigues. The dangers are everywhere. He must tread carefully and outwit the ministers at every turn. The fun lies in knowing when to advance and when to retreat, and in seizing power and influence. Advance, and make the court your chessboard as you take on your opponents head-on. Retreat, and sit in your manor as the player, stirring up trouble in every direction. National policy? Bring me a notebook. I'll dictate, and you write. Together, we'll secure peace and prosperity for the realm. Military affairs? If you can draw a map of it, I can conquer it. Diplomacy? Give me an army, and let's see who dares refuse to be our friend. Corrupt officials? They must be executed. The Ming dynasty can have only one corrupt official, and that's me. I devote myself heart and soul to the Ming dynasty. What's wrong with taking a little for myself?
