Gu Jinzhao, a 28-year-old office drone at a top investment bank, was still revising a PowerPoint at the very last moment of his life. When he opened his eyes, he had been reborn as Shen Yan, the eldest son of the trillion-yuan Shen family.
A peak start? No, it was hell from the start.
A domineering CEO father ready to hit him with a check, an awkward situation with exile looming, and a villain's script that guaranteed he would be killed by the chosen one. Shen Yan looked at this "Survival Guide to the Rich and Powerful: Hell Difficulty," quietly opened his laptop, and started making a PowerPoint.
In his previous life, he worked himself to death. In this one, he just wants to lie flat. So he decides to be the perfect useless rich kid: frail and sickly, causing no trouble, and waiting around for his share of the money. But when he starts evaluating the wealthy with KPIs, using physics to demolish ancient martial arts, and managing the arrogant chosen one with OKRs, everyone loses their minds.
His domineering CEO father suspects he's orchestrating some earth-shattering scheme. His melodramatic mother thinks he's the only person who understands her. His arrogant older brother's Dao heart is blown to pieces by an electromagnetic cannon. And Xiao Fan, the chosen one who was destined to kill him in the original story, is holding the "Villain's Code of Conduct" Shen Yan wrote, sunk in deep philosophical confusion.
Just as he thinks he's about to coast to an easy win, a paternity test appears out of nowhere: his real father is the richest man in the world.
Watching two top-tier wealthy families launch a century-defining battle to claim him, Shen Yan quietly pulls out the PowerPoint he prepared.
"Stop fighting. I choose myself."
