False Phoenix

In the age of holographic intelligence, humans awaken supernatural abilities through their innate bloodlines and acquired mutations.

Who would have guessed that Yu Fengcheng, who stands at the top of the pyramid and is considered one of the brightest young talents, is actually a useless person who can't awaken any abilities?

Born into an aristocratic family, Yu Fengcheng embodies the worst traits of the nobility: arrogance, selfishness, cruelty, and hypocrisy, but also intelligence, forcefulness, and clearheadedness.

He treats commoners and those unable to awaken as worthless, yet he himself is a useless person.

The irreconcilable gap between what he believes and what he cannot change about himself, along with his exceptionally gifted twin brother, twists his mind further and further.

He deceives everyone, and stubbornly deceives himself as well, becoming a high-talent awakened whose abilities seem unmatched in everyone's eyes.

He's bold enough, clever enough, and powerful enough to build an elite team at the academy under his leadership, despite having no abilities.

But he wants far more than that. His pursuit and goal is to keep climbing until he reaches the summit of power.

What he never expected was that the clichéd plot of the swapped true and false young masters would happen to him. It turns out there was a reason he couldn't awaken: he was the false young master, swapped at birth with the child of a slum family.

The true young master, whom he desperately wants to erase from the picture but can't find any trace of, has been lying low by his side for a long time.

As the truth gradually comes to light, Yu Fengcheng realizes he can no longer control the situation.

A vindictive fiance, a hostile fiance, comrades who stand shoulder to shoulder with him, and a brother who looks down on him...

P.S. The story revolves around the somewhat old-fashioned true-and-false young master trope. Our protagonist, Yu Fengcheng, is naturally a villainous false young master adored by everyone. He's not only vicious, but a little crazy too. He's arrogant and looks down on everyone, yet when he needs something, he'll stoop to any level to get it.
