I Became a Prince in the Han Dynasty

At the end of the Western Han dynasty, a fallen noble boy is caught in the turmoil of the age. After his parents are brutally killed, he is entrusted to a reclusive scholar at the age of twelve. Steady and calculating, with a deeply shrewd mind, he goes from harboring illusions about the world to acting with cold decisiveness, rewarding and punishing with impartiality. After lying low for years and mastering his studies, he enters the world and advances step by step, outwitting treacherous officials. At last, he rises to the top amid the chaos and brings the realm under his rule.
