Lin Ruan transmigrates into a matriarchal world, becoming a young man adopted by the prestigious Gu family of Jiangcheng. To activate the System he carries, he keeps his talents hidden and quietly lives as a gentle, reserved boy for eighteen years. Shy and bashful, mild and sweet-natured, he seems to everyone like an innocent, lovable child.
His stepsister, Gu Qiudie, is cool and aloof, but she treasures the brother who has always been by her side and cares for him deeply. His teachers and classmates treat the gentle Lin Ruan with particular kindness, too.
Later, several young ladies from the city's most prominent families develop a strong admiration for Lin Ruan, and their visits stir up rumors and disputes. Worried that all the commotion will upset her mild-mannered brother, Gu Qiudie settles him in a quiet, secluded residence owned by the Gu family and gently reassures him: “It's noisy and crowded out there. From now on, stay by your big sister's side and don't worry about those petty affairs.”
Gu Qiudie is convinced she's protecting her timid, gentle brother. What she doesn't know is that a System notification is sounding in Lin Ruan's mind: [Achievement complete. Reward: one billion in startup funds and a max-level physique!]
No one knows that this seemingly gentle and harmless young man is actually the hidden mastermind behind several multinational corporations and top secret business organizations.
After Lin Ruan is out of sight for a long time, the prominent families outside start speculating about one another, sparking friction and gossip throughout the city. Meanwhile, Lin Ruan is relaxing in his peaceful, comfortable home, sampling fresh fruit and silently lamenting: I only wanted to live quietly and collect my System rewards at my own pace. Why has everyone decided I must be hiding because I've been wronged?
I found that the longer I read books, the more tolerant I am of them. After being brainwashed by those heaven-defying novels, I have become very tolerant of novels. The author's novel is not particularly detailed, so you can just read it without thinking. It feels like the author drew up an outline in his mind and then started writing directly (I am not a human machine).
