I Became a Son-in-Law in a Chaotic Era

Xiao Changxu transmigrates to an ancient era of war and rival regimes. To put food on the table, she disguises herself as a man, joins the army, and becomes a personal guard to a military governor.

Being a personal guard is great. As the military governor's guard, she gets to eat plain rice at every meal, and even meat every few days. Easily satisfied, Xiao Changxu thinks that in a time of war and scarcity, this life is practically heavenly.

The military governor says the perks aren't heavenly enough. Come here, Xiao Changxu. Become my daughter's live-in son-in-law, and I guarantee you'll enjoy a life of luxury that even the gods would envy.

Xiao Changxu: ??

I'm a woman pretending to be a man. If I dare trick the military governor's daughter into marrying me, they'll stomp my head in!! How is this offering me a life of luxury? You're sending me straight to my death!!! Fine, even if you don't know I'm a woman, you're a mighty military governor. Isn't it strange to make an ordinary soldier your son-in-law??

What? It's not you who's taken a liking to me, but your daughter, Xie Xianzhi?

Xiao Changxu: Miss Xie, what is it about me you like? I'll change it all, okay??

Xie Xianzhi: It has to be you.

Xiao Changxu: ...I'm a woman.

Xie Xianzhi: ...Oh. It still has to be you.
