From Useless Son-in-Law to Ruler of the Realm

Just after transmigrating, Tang Xuan is married into the county magistrate's household, where his childhood sweetheart of a bride immediately puts him in his place.

"Fine, my wife looks down on me, and my father-in-law suspects me. You all think I'm worthless, do you?"

"Then... I'll just slack off!"

Tang Xuan gives up on trying, drinking and watching plays every day, flirting with beauties, and refusing to do any real work.

But before long, he realizes something is off.

His wife, his father-in-law, and even the current empress are all lining up to beg him for help.

"Husband, I was wrong. Please forgive me. I want to have your child!"

"Dear son-in-law, I really can't do my job without you. Come help me solve a case!"

"My dear subject, I've made seven visits to your cottage to invite you to serve. I want you to help me rule this Great Jin empire!"
