The Peerlessly Beautiful Villainous Father

This book is also known as "What Should I Do? My Dad Is Too Ambitious." I have a brilliant, supremely driven father, with all the characteristics of a major villain: stunning looks, a calculating mind, and a nature that's neither wholly good nor evil... My father is a scholar who studies by lamplight late into the night and rises at dawn to study for the civil service exams. I don't need to worry about the exams. My formidable aunt beats up concubines and kicks trash husbands to the curb. I don't need to worry about dealing with scumbags, either. The only thing our family lacks is money. So Zhou Jinyu thought he had the script for a farming story about getting rich. He never expected his scholar father to keep climbing the ranks and become the emperor's favorite minister. Now a second-generation official, Zhou Jinyu feels deeply insecure. No matter which side his father takes, it seems to spell DANGER in big letters. One wrong move, and the whole family could lose their heads! Zhou Jinyu: Dad, let's go home and farm. Zhou Fengqing: I think Dad can still climb a little higher. Zhou Jinyu, trembling with fear: Dad, you're already high enough. Zhou Fengqing calmly replies: Which prince do you think Dad should choose as emperor? Zhou Jinyu, scalp tingling: Dad, becoming regent won't end well. Zhou Fengqing gently strokes his brow: Then... Dad will just become emperor himself. Things to know before reading: 1. The male lead is the father. He's proud and a bit of a princess, so readers have nicknamed him the Second Princess. His transmigrated son is laid-back, pampered, and relies on his dad. He doesn't stir up trouble; it's the beautiful villain of a father who does all the striving. 2. The son will probably be a beloved darling with everyone doting on him. 3. Early story: farming, town life, and civil service exams. Later: court politics. 4. Fictional setting and author's inventions. Please don't overanalyze the details. 5. There's a pretty useless System, more or less. 6. Ensemble cast. Everyone is the protagonist of their own life. Theme: When you have the means, help the world. Do what you can to improve the lives of as many people as possible.
