A Historical Quest to Find My Family, Starting in the Great Ming

Five years ago, Chen Tianyu’s parents and two older sisters suddenly disappeared. When they were finally found, only the car remained. The people were gone.

Chen Tianyu spent five years as an orphan.

Five years later, after paying back the money he borrowed for the funeral, Chen Tianyu is just about to go out and enjoy himself when his father’s black-and-white portrait reveals his father’s figure and asks him for help. Just then, the System awakens!

Father Chen You: My dear boy, hurry and save me! If you don’t get here soon, I’ll be skinned alive and my body stuffed with straw, and my entire clan will be executed. Oh, right, I’ve also arranged a marriage for you: Xu Da’s eldest daughter!

Chen Tianyu: What? You stole the future empress of the Yongle Emperor?

Older Sister Chen Ya: Little brother, hurry over! Your brother-in-law is about to face off against my father-in-law at Xuanwu Gate. He absolutely can’t win, so bring people to help us out. It won’t be for nothing! I’ve prepared a wife for you: my sister-in-law, Li Lizhi.

Chen Tianyu: You got it! I’m on my way. It’s definitely not because of the wife!

Second Sister Chen Bing: Little brother, I’m about to be assassinated. Your brother-in-law is an idiot. He has an army of 300,000 but doesn’t dare rebel. I beat him every day and he still won’t shake off his foolish, rigid ways. Now he’s received an imperial decree ordering him to kill himself. Come help me, will you? Oh, right, I’ve prepared a wife for you: my sister-in-law, Ying Yinman. She’s very pretty!

Chen Tianyu: Again? How many wives is that now? All right, I’m on my way.

Mother Zhang Yun: Son, I’m at Yashan. I’m about to jump off the cliff with my adopted son, Zhao Bing. Hurry and send reinforcements!

Chen Tianyu: There’s no wife this time, right?

Zhang Yun: You want a wife? Of course we can arrange that. There are plenty of pretty girls in bed. Tell me what you want and I’ll set you up!

Chen Tianyu: Now that’s an offer I can’t refuse!

Xu Miaoyun, Li Lizhi, Ying Yinman: Just you dare!
