The Carefree Nobleman of Daqing

Li Zhuo, a professor of historical economics, transmigrated to Daqing and became the illegitimate son of the Ministry of Revenue's Vice Minister. He had originally planned to stir up the political scene, but his exceptional talents nearly cost him his life.

His stepmother later sent him to her own family, hoping that wealth would turn Li Zhuo into a spoiled wastrel.

One day, Li Zhuo was shocked to discover that all the things he'd bragged about had actually come true.
