The Foolish Son's Comeback: A Grand Plan for a Golden Age

Lu Yunche is an engineer from the modern world who unexpectedly transmigrates into the household of an impoverished landlord, becoming the “idiot son” everyone loves to mock. With his family fallen on hard times, his great-uncle siphoning off their property, and his wealthy fiancée breaking off their engagement, he uses his modern knowledge and ingenuity to turn his life around.

From building an oil press to save his family to astonishing everyone at a poetry gathering in the prefectural city, he earns fame as a poetry immortal and wins the hearts of a celebrated courtesan, a wandering swordswoman, and even the Seventh Princess. But the former fiancée's vengeful schemes, a corrupt prefect's ruthless oppression, and the succession struggles at court draw Lu Yunche ever deeper into a wider whirlpool of power.

With powerful enemies watching from beyond and the emperor's struggle for control stirring beneath the surface, Lu Yunche relies on modern technology and far-sighted thinking to carve out a path to success where strategy and courage go hand in hand. He must not only protect his family and the woman he loves, but also use poetry and wisdom to rewrite the course of the age.

In this turbulent era, how will this “idiot son” scheme for control of the realm and climb to the very top, one step at a time?

A legendary tale of talent and strategy, a grand panorama where an age of prosperity and an age of chaos intertwine: all this awaits in The Idiot Son's Rise: Scheming for a Golden Age.
