Synopsis
Bai Shisan was destined for a return to the Pingyuan Hou Mansion in Beijing to reclaim his birthright as the true young master. However, a sudden awakening of mermaid blood reveals a shocking truth: his supposed authenticity is another lie. Rather than rushing back to satisfy the calculating nobles waiting to witness his humiliation, he chooses a different path. By leveraging a game system that allows him to manifest virtual skills and items in the physical world, he prioritizes personal growth over family politics. The writing maintains a breezy, lighthearted atmosphere, escalating from a story of familial displacement into a display of overwhelming power. This journey prioritizes satisfaction over struggle, rewarding those who enjoy seeing a marginalized character achieve absolute dominance through unconventional means. It may leave those seeking deep emotional angst or complex political intrigue feeling underwhelmed, as the focus remains firmly on the protagonist's rapid ascent to invincibility.

Editorial Review
Completing its run in 108 chapters, this work functions primarily as a focused power fantasy. The integration of game mechanics into a reality-based setting provides a consistent sense of progression, ensuring the protagonist's growth feels earned despite the light tone. The brevity of the novel prevents the plot from sagging, maintaining a brisk momentum that keeps the focus on the most satisfying elements of the story. However, the commitment to a wish-fulfillment style means that the conflict often lacks genuine tension. Because the protagonist becomes invincible quite rapidly, the stakes occasionally feel superficial, and the emotional weight of the family betrayal is largely brushed aside in favor of rapid leveling. While the romantic elements provide a necessary anchor, the story prioritizes the thrill of superiority over nuanced character development. It is a concise, efficient read that delivers on its premise without overstaying its welcome.
