The Poor Scholar's Son-in-Law

Chen Yu, hailed as a “foolish genius,” transmigrates to ancient times and becomes a poor scholar. By chance, he meets the daughter of a chancellor who has been exiled to Lingnan. He thinks he has married a beautiful wife, but then his father-in-law is cleared of the charges against him and restored to his former post. “Husband, come with me to the capital!” His beautiful wife takes Chen Yu back to the capital, where he discovers just how popular she is. With no other choice, he has to pass the imperial exams with top honors, write poetry, compose couplets, take on the capital's young dandies, crush evil cults, and campaign as far as Langjuxu. When he finally comes to his senses, he has already made a name for himself, is surrounded by beautiful women, and stands at the pinnacle of power.
