Synopsis

Billionaire fantasy + technological power for the nation + a pocket world of advanced technology + a harem + power struggles among elite families.

Transmigrating to 2007, Yang Fan was born into one of the country's most powerful families. His biggest dream was simply to be a worry-free slacker.

By chance, he bound himself to a pocket world of advanced technology. To unlock its resources, he had to do good deeds and keep completing missions.

Forced to provide technology and tackle scientific challenges, he was gradually swept up in the tide of the times.

As the young master of an elite family, he had his family backing him in the highest circles, technology as his shield, and advanced tech as his trump card.

With turmoil mounting in the capital, he was swept forward by internal shifts and external pressure.

In the end, he built his own business empire, bolstered the nation's fortunes, brought glory to his family, and secured his own standing.

In other people's eyes, he was a shadow king wielding top-secret technology and influencing the nation's destiny.

Only Yang Fan knew the truth: he was howling inside. I really don't want to go to work! Can't you just leave me alone?

Yang Fan: ...Is it possible that I just want to lie flat?

Character background: In his previous life, he struggled at the bottom and endured every hardship. After transmigrating, all he wanted was to achieve financial freedom and then lie flat. But fate took him to ever-higher platforms. Every alliance, business strategy, and social maneuver was just a temporary measure. Deep down, all he wanted was to retire early.

There is no absolute good or evil. This story explores the complexity of human nature and rejects cheap, brainless face-slapping and explosive displays of wealth.

The supporting characters are deeply developed, each brought to life with a distinct personality.

The male lead never loses his intelligence, and there are no brainless face-slapping scenes. See for yourself, dear readers: this is a billionaire fantasy about national destiny unlike any other.

Please Recommend Engrossing Tomato Novels Without Stupid Plotting

Villain, urban, or fantasy novels are all fine 😊 I'm a seasoned reader of ten years, so please don't recommend beginner-level novels; I can't get into them. I'm older now and hope to read something with a well-reasoned, tightly plotted story. I don't mind power fantasies, but I don't want everyone else to act stupid just to make the protagonist look smart.
