The Abandoned Son Runs Rampant

Ye Fan knows enough cultivation theory to improve an entire sect’s techniques, but without spiritual roots, the Jade Cloud Sect’s pampered genius cannot practice any of it. Transmigration gives him an unlikely second chance: the body of a disgraced young master in modern Cang City can finally absorb spiritual energy. Unfortunately, there is precious little energy available—and making a single talisman drains him dry.

Expelled from the Ye Family after his stepmother’s fabricated scandal, Ye Fan takes his remaining savings to buy herbs and talisman supplies. He sets up beneath an overpass, charges thirty thousand yuan for a Peace Talisman, and discovers that customers think the cultivation expert eating candied hawthorn is a con artist. A rare Qi-Gathering Turtle offers a practical boost, but funding his cultivation remains an expensive business.

Then he spots Bai Yunxi, a brilliant, wealthy young man, and announces that he wants to marry someone like him. Told that winning Bai requires money and extraordinary ability, Ye Fan takes the requirements quite literally. His outrageous confidence, undignified salesmanship, and shameless courtship make this a treat for readers who enjoy an underestimated expert turning public ridicule into comic vindication.
