The Usurper’s Son-in-Law

Good news: I've transmigrated and become a royal son-in-law.

Bad news: the princess has decided to divorce me.

A brothel is at my door demanding payment, and the emperor's birthday is fast approaching.

What should Yun Zhuo, who's been kicked out with nothing, do?

Relax. Have you ever heard of a freeloader?

Classical masterpieces, Tang poetry, and Song lyrics are all tools for making money.

The Art of War and the Six Secret Teachings are my trump cards for conquering the world.

What? You say the Rouran are skilled archers and horsemen, and are heading south to rob me of my silver? Then why are they such talented singers and dancers in front of my guns and cannons?

You say the Western Regions kingdoms think highly of themselves and have always treated people from the Central Plains as slaves and laborers. Then why are the princesses of all eighteen kingdoms fighting to be my bedchamber maids?

Zhao Qingyao, Princess Jinyang of Great Shang: Oh, the whole talk of divorce was just an excuse to spur my husband to improve.

Gao Wanling, the tiger daughter of a military family: "Defeat is a common occurrence for soldiers" is just something ordinary people say to console themselves. For my husband Yun Zhuo, victory after victory is what's normal.

Gu Hongxiu, the greatest courtesan under heaven: It's not that I love money. I just love the way Yun Lang spends thousands of gold on me with such panache.

The civil and military officials, foreign kingdoms, and common people: And now, please welcome the Grand Marshal of All Armies, the Martial Saint, the Poetry Saint, the God of Wealth, the God of Agriculture, the God of Livestock, the strongest carbon-based life-form, the greatest wastrel under heaven, and royal son-in-law, Yun Zhuo!

The old emperor: My Golden Throne Hall can't fit all these people.

Yun Zhuo glances up at the white-haired old emperor on the dragon throne. "With the gods above as my witness, old timer, I ask you to decline the throne three times and yield it three times."
