   (Historical Fiction + Genius Student + System + No Romance) After Chen Wang died, he was reincarnated as the only mentally challenged grandson of the Chen family. He had four older cousins, and his parents doted on him like a precious treasure, always giving him the best of everything. Chen Wang thought he would just drift through life like this. Little did he know he had a system that not only provided access to renowned teachers but also helped him develop his brain! He thought it was a windfall, but after binding with the system, he realized it was a "path of no return." From then on, he lived a life of relentless, relentless progress, transforming from a mentally challenged genius into a self-made millionaire, and finally, a research tycoon. (Warning: The protagonist is a character who grows and improves; he is not a perfect person.) However, the protagonist will grow and improve gradually, and watching him improve is very rewarding. This later development likely involves government backing. The author's writing is superb, and the system is not just a simple system; the protagonist and the system will have their own sharp tongues.
