When he traced his roots, modern-day Changsun Chong was sucked into a post-apocalyptic space. 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. In order to successfully embrace the thickest thigh, Changsun Chong went all out to flatter his brother-in-law, Li Er, helping him show filial respect to the empress dowager and train the imperial princes. 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. Spittle flew as Li Er waved his hand, directing the country: "Having just one good son is not enough. I want a group of good sons; having just one good son-in-law is not enough. I want a group of good sons-in-law."

There were porters carrying goods, unloading cargo, and people waiting, all in abundance.

His short hair was slightly messy, and the stubble on his cheeks added a touch of ruggedness to his handsomeness and wildness. Ying Xi was leaning against the back seat of his bicycle, wearing his police uniform. His leather shoes were scruffy on his feet, and the buttons on his uniform were undone, revealing a hint of the gun holstered at his waist.
