Emperor Huizong of Song Is My Father-in-Law

I may not be dashing and debonair, nor handsome enough to turn heads.

But I have superb ball skills and… a wealth of knowledge, along with many beautiful poems.

One accidental, soul-stirring scorpion kick was all it took for the princess to remember me.

But I'd already given my heart to someone else. With the princess showing me such favor, should I accept or refuse?

The Jurchen cavalry was about to sweep south. The frail princess was about to fall into the clutches of evil. The magnificent lands of our realm were on the brink of being lost.

So be it. How could a hot-blooded man like me pretend not to care?

All right, Zhao, Your Majesty, I accept. I am willing to become your son-in-law and let you be my father-in-law. Just watch as, step by step, we work together to perfect the Song and make it stronger and more prosperous, so that no petty villains who would ruin our happy lives can succeed.

For I, too, am a proud son of the Song. The glory of the Song belongs to me as well. How could we let her fall into enemy hands?
