The Lawless Bastard Son

A modern-day double PhD in criminal investigation and chemistry transmigrates into the disgraced son of the Chancellor's household. From the start, he proves his innocence and severs his father-son relationship, using modern technology to crush the ancient court with sheer technological superiority. [No System] + [Technical Expertise] + [Satisfying Power Struggles] + [Decisive and Ruthless]

Chu He transmigrates to Great Wei and becomes an illegitimate son whom everyone in the Chancellor's household can bully. From the start, he is framed for stealing an imperial treasure and is about to have both legs broken and be thrown out of the manor.

Facing a hypocritical chancellor father, a vicious stepmother, and brothers who kick him while he's down, Chu He has only one thing to say: “This trashy family bond isn't even worth a dog's spit!”

He analyzes the case in public and proves his innocence. One letter severing family ties shakes the capital, and he turns to leave without a backward glance.

All he had wanted was to tinker with inventions and live comfortably as a rich man...

But the penicillin he casually whipped up saves the crown prince;

The fine steel he smelts lets Great Wei's cavalry sweep aside the barbarians;

And the policy he proposes for governing the country is treated by the emperor as absolute doctrine.

Years later, the Chancellor's household falls into decline, and the chancellor kneels before Chu He's door, weeping bitterly. “My son, your father knows he was wrong. Come back!”

Chu He sneers. “Chancellor, please remember your station. We're strangers.”
