Matriarchy: The Pretend Innocent Young Master, Driven Wild by the Princesses from the Start

In the Great Yao Dynasty, women hold power, while men are mostly trained to be docile and courteous. Gu Yanzhou, however, was born with a face that could captivate anyone, while his true nature was unruly and hard to tame. He acted sweet and innocent, but was more calculating than anyone. After being framed, he unexpectedly awakened the Character Rebate System. As long as he maintained an appearance of pure-hearted fragility, he could gather emotional points and exchange them for medical skills, martial arts, appraisal, strategy, and even the power to change his fate. To escape a humiliating marriage, Gu Yanzhou had no choice but to act innocent in public while stepping over aristocratic young ladies, powerful nobles, and vicious servants to rise to the top. Yet the harder he tried to keep a low profile, the more people fought to protect and pamper him. Jealous rivals kept setting traps, resorting to every underhanded trick to drag him back into the mud. Gu Yanzhou only smiled innocently, then turned their schemes into a ladder to the heavens. From the illegitimate son of a merchant family to the foremost gentleman stirring up the capital, he never wanted to be chosen. He wanted the whole world to revolve around him.
