The Prodigal Son Who Became Richer Than the Emperor

Reborn as the infamous wastrel son of a duke, Lin Chen decides to embrace his reputation—but with a twist. Armed with future knowledge and zero fear, he tears through the capital, Jiangnan, and beyond, building an empire while pretending to squander fortunes. Merchants gape as this 'prodigal' becomes the wealthiest man in the realm. Court officials rage as he humiliates ministers at the palace gates. A grassland princess declares him her destined mate. Even the emperor can't help but wonder: how did the kingdom's biggest fool become richer than the throne itself?
