The Mad Son-in-Law of the Ming Dynasty

Guo Zhen, a modern man, transmigrates to an ancient society resembling the late Ming Dynasty and becomes a son-in-law who was jilted at the altar by the Duke of Wei's family. Facing the scorn and contempt of his wife's family, Guo Zhen studies hard for the imperial examinations. He places first in the provincial, metropolitan, and palace exams, becoming the top scholar of the Great Ming and earning the respect of his wife's family.

But his good fortune doesn't last. As the Later Jin invade and the Great Ming dynasty crumbles, Guo Zhen first travels beyond the frontier as an envoy, skillfully navigating political intrigue. Then he takes up arms, leading a volunteer army against the Jin and turning the tide.
