The Commoner Son Who Made It Into the Inner Circle Became the Backbone of the Family

[Alternate History] + [Political Scheming] + [No System] I, Lin Jingxing, climbed Mount Tai and was just about to post a bragging photo on my social media. Then the heavens hit me with the Five Thunder Strikes: I made a truly dazzling entrance! That day, I became the light, and the brightest star in the whole place. When I woke up, I had become an illegitimate son in an aristocratic household in ancient times, with a status lower than the family’s watchdog. My father can’t stand the sight of me. My little brother is a once-in-a-millennium genius, and even my little sister is a learned scholar. But I’m a man who’s been struck by lightning! A comeback! I have to make a comeback!!! I enter government through the imperial examinations and rise rapidly from there. Before I know it, I’ve gone from a neglected illegitimate son to a revered literary leader. As it turns out, getting struck by lightning isn’t so bad. Get struck in just the right place, and life turns into easy mode! P.S. This book is also known as “I’ve Already Transmigrated, So Surely It’s Not Too Much to Ask for a Princedom?” and “An Illegitimate Son’s Comeback: I Became the Family’s Greatest Asset.”
