In order to reunite with his parents, he had no choice but to be sent back to the Tang Dynasty and become Changsun Chong, the son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty. Arriving in the Tang Dynasty, he was unfamiliar with the place and naturally needed to embrace the biggest thigh. The emperor was the biggest, so Li Er it is! Li Er was a good emperor, a successful ruler, but not a good brother, son, or father.

Unfortunately, he discovered that this wasn't enough. Those sons-in-law, except for him, Changsun Chong, were all no good. He had to train them for Li Er as well.
