   This is a story about a son-in-law's rise to power. The son-in-law is a status forced upon him by the powerful. The male protagonist only knows how to use light kung fu. The setting is fictional, but it reflects real historical events, such as national interests, the suffering of people under war, and the sale of young boys and girls as tonics. The writing style is light and not boring. The male protagonist rises to power little by little through his own efforts.
