Great Qian's Foremost Imperial Son-in-Law: The Power Behind the Throne

In the Great Qian dynasty, imperial authority is waning, regional warlords are carving up the realm, and undercurrents are surging.

Li Changyuan transmigrates as the heir of the Duke of Zhenguo's household. To avoid arousing the emperor's suspicions and protect his family, he conceals his talents and is forced to become the useless husband of the Grand Princess.

The Grand Princess dreams of ruling the empire and spends her days recruiting soldiers and gathering supplies, unaware that her husband, who spends all day listening to music at brothels, is the true mastermind behind the realm!

At a brothel, he offers a few casual pointers and creates a ruthless chief minister with power over the entire court.

Beyond the border, he teaches military strategy and raises an invincible god of war who will win glory at Mount Langju Xu.

In the dead of night, the secretive Heavenly Secrets Pavilion he founded has already spread its reach throughout the imperial court and neighboring states.

Decades later, the realm falls into chaos. Enemy cavalry batter at the passes, and rebels surround the capital.

When the Grand Princess is at her wits' end, despairing and ready to draw her sword and die for her country, Li Changyuan, who has always kept his true abilities hidden, sighs and steps onto the nine-tiered staircase.

As he tosses out a token, the rebel commander, the entire court, and the regional lords all drop to their knees and cry, “We welcome our master!”

The Grand Princess stares at her husband standing before her, her eyes filled with shock.

So the whole realm has been under his control all along!
