My Live-In Son-in-Law Is the Crown Prince

Tu Jiao transmigrated into a family of military commanders.

Her father and brothers fell in battle, and the enemy surrounded their city. She put on armor, took up a spear, and led an army of two hundred thousand to defend the border as a woman.

After several years in the army and countless military achievements, she became a renowned goddess of war.

When Tu Jiao reached marriageable age, all the various factions were thrown into turmoil. Whoever she married could upset the balance of imperial power.

After discussing it, her grandfather and the others decided to find a man with no power or influence to marry into their family.

Tu Jiao thought it over for a night, then made one request:

1. He has to be handsome.

Ning Yu was the fourth prince of the Great Wei Dynasty. Exceptionally gifted and handsome, he possessed a mind full of schemes that made the court officials tremble. The emperor had chosen him as the crown prince.

To consolidate imperial power and reverse the balance between powerful ministers and a weak ruler, Ning Yu assumed the name Ning Yu and married into the Marquis of Zhenbei's household.

At first, he planned to earn Tu Jiao's trust and gradually seize control of the army.

Tu Jiao only knew how to wage war. She was simple-minded and straightforward, an innocent woman. He thought it would be easy, and that a few little tricks would do the job.

He brought her a cloak on a snowy day.

“I have to train the troops. I'm not cold.”

He tried to talk military strategy late at night to find common ground.

“Military strategy is boring. That new storybook from yesterday is much better. The disobedient live-in son-in-law scholar got punched to death by his father-in-law.”

He showed off his talent by playing “Phoenix Seeking Its Mate.”

“This song is nice. It makes me sleep even better.”

Ning Yu: ...

Hah, women!

Later, the various princes arrived in person at the northern frontier, hoping to get their hands on the army.

Ning Yu drew his long saber and held it across the princes' throats.

“If you want to take my wife's army, you'd better ask my saber if it agrees!”
