Cutting Ties? I Turn Around and Become the Top Scholar in the Imperial Exams!

After twenty years spent wandering, I finally came home, only to become a disgrace to the family, despite being the eldest legitimate son of its wealthiest man.

"You unfilial son! Worthless fool!"

My own father roared, threw me out, and disowned me!

But they don't know that I brought an entire civilization with me!

I'm a humanities PhD from the twenty-first century. Poetry, lyrics, history, and all the old stories are at my fingertips!

You laugh at me for being illiterate, but one piece of my Slender Gold calligraphy leaves the whole room stunned, and the city's nobles scramble to buy it!

You laugh at me for having no money, but a little trick is all it takes to make me richer than a nation!

The day I ascend the court and seize power over the realm, the Su family will kneel and beg for mercy. Only then will they understand what it means to be Heaven's favored child!
