My dad is the “true young master” of a wealthy family. During the war, he was left to be raised by a peasant family. It wasn’t until thirty-two years later that his biological father—my grandfather—sent someone to bring him back.

Everyone says I’m born lucky. Just as I was born, my father was welcomed back into his wealthy family. My dad believes it too, and my mom often holds me and kisses me, saying, “Oh, my lucky star daughter!”

Until one day, I suddenly discovered that I was living in a book.

The book tells a story about two families who swapped children. To benefit her own son, a peasant woman switched her child with the heir. By the time the truth came out, the true young master had spent decades as a simple farmer in the countryside; he was illiterate and hadn’t married until he was thirty. Meanwhile, the fake young master was a college graduate who had joined the military and become a regimental commander—a true winner in life and the actual male lead of the story.

Everyone said the true young master’s life was ruined. What was the point of being recognized now? All of his father’s resources had already been given to the fake young master, and since my dad hadn’t attended a single day of school, he would struggle even to find a job.

Who could have imagined that my dad is a genuine genius? So what if he never went to school? His knowledge was personally taught to him by several professors. When the national college entrance exams resumed, he became the top scorer in the entire country in one fell swoop. Tsinghua and Peking University were fighting over him.

Who says my dad has no connections? University professors and big shots from all walks of life are all his mentors.

My dad’s research into fertilizers, pests, and technologies to increase rice and wheat yields caused a nationwide sensation. National newspapers scrambled to cover his work, and he was named the youngest Academician in the country.

It turns out my dad isn’t an ordinary person at all; he’s clearly the kind of overpowered protagonist you only see in male-oriented power-fantasy novels.

Well, I took a long sip of my milk. Why would I need to grow up and conquer the world?

I’ll just lie back and win.
