Tricked into Becoming a Live-In Son-in-Law, I Somehow Became the Emperor

[Political intrigue + historical fantasy + struggle for supremacy + ensemble cast] [Lots of setup early on, slow pacing]

Thirty years ago, Great Zhou won the War of the Northern Campaign, laying the foundation for its supremacy as the world’s strongest nation.

Over the next twenty years, Great Zhou rose to the height of its power, but the only son of the wise chancellor who had guided it all was killed far from home.

For the sake of Great Zhou’s lasting prosperity, Zhou Liyuan, who held absolute power over the empire, chose to bide his time.

Then, ten years later, the chancellor’s only legitimate daughter brought home a man with no memories.

And so, the power struggle that had lain dormant for ten years began anew.

Grudges forged over thirty years erupted all at once. Countless heroes sighed, and innumerable souls marched to the nine depths of the underworld.

Years later, Su Fu turned around in a daze. Though his body was still young, his eyes had grown world-weary. He lowered his head and saw... white bones resting in his palm, while the throne awaited him just ahead.
