Sorry, I Have No Time to Fight for Favor. I Still Have to Get to the Academy of Sciences

[Newly Launched, Rating May Rise] [Alternate-Era Setting + Fake and Real Heiresses + Science Advances the Nation + Academic Prodigy]

When her biological parents found her, Shen Ying was scavenging for trash. Seeing the filthy, chaotic dump, her birth family’s excitement at their reunion instantly gave way to worry and embarrassment.

After she “returned home,” she found no warmth waiting for her, only her father’s distant concern, her mother’s pitying care, her relatives’ cold stares, the disdain of city folk…

And the fake heiress’s two-faced act.

Watching their childish tricks, Shen Ying laughed.

She had seen the very worst of human nature, fought over food with a vicious old woman, and gone toe-to-toe with thugs and hooligans…

But under the old man’s guidance, she had also dreamed of the stars and the sea beneath a dazzling night sky, and learned about humanity’s legacy from historical texts…

Now she held in her hands the lifetime of scientific research the old man had devoted himself to, and her heart held only a passion for scientific research.

Fake heiress: You’ve never been to school. You’ll have to start in elementary school!

Sorry, that’s too easy. I can skip straight to my senior year of high school.

Fake heiress: You may come from a poor background, but you can marry a college graduate and never have to worry again!

Sorry, all I know is that their advisor is my fellow disciple.

Fake heiress: It’s no big deal if you can’t get into college. You can go into business. It may not bring much status, but at least you won’t go hungry!

Sorry, I’ve already received an invitation from the National Academy of Sciences.

Only when Shen Ying was named a National Outstanding Young Talent did the Shen family finally understand:

The real heiress who had grown up scavenging for trash truly wanted nothing but to pursue scientific research.
