Synopsis

The entire household of the Marquis of Zhenxi was mysteriously slaughtered, leaving only eight-year-old Kuai Long, who had been away from home. Just before he turns sixteen and comes of age, his sworn older brother returns victorious and, by imperial decree, is to be married. But the bride is Kuai Long’s betrothed, with whom he has no formal contract. Kuai Long’s coming-of-age ceremony falls on the same day as his sworn brother’s wedding. The princess throws Kuai Long a lavish celebration and invites many guests who were originally planning to attend the wedding, leaving his sworn brother’s wedding feast with his former fiancée dull and lifeless. The female emperor grants Kuai Long a noble title, making him ineligible to take the imperial examinations. To appease him, she also gives him his sworn brother’s two younger sisters as attendants. After completely falling out with his sworn brother and sister-in-law, war suddenly breaks out on the western frontier. Kuai Long offers a strategy, but his sworn brother fails to carry it out properly and loses a city, earning himself the label of “traitor.” Kuai Long marches off to war, beginning a fiery military career unlike that of his ancestor, the Marquis of Zhenxi.

Looking for Rich-Protagonist Stories: No Dumbed-Down Characters, Lavish Spending, No Keeping a Low Profile, and Ideally Real-Life Figures

I want a story where the protagonist gets rich from the start, with little showing off or face-slapping. Keep it somewhat realistic, with all kinds of extravagant spending, and have them gradually enter elite circles. It’d be great if real people appeared in the story, too, to make it easier to immerse myself.
