Arc 10: Rich Young Master - What It Means to Be Filthy Rich Chapter 118

Editor: Casey

The memories that Shi Qing saw were still quite clear and crisp.

After all, the original was only sixteen years old this year, and his days were rather monotonous and repetitive. In light of this, Shi Qing decided to skip through the parts related to the original plotline.

This was a counter attacking story set in an alternative past.

According to the original author's setting, the world fell into chaos after the monarchy collapsed. With the imperial family all dead, some of their subordinates began to covet what was not theirs. Some among them could be considered very distantly related to the royal family, while others rose from nothing or were former ministers. All raised their own banners and declared themselves kings.

The number of rebels was too large to count on one hand. But since the Central Plain was so large, people were too busy consolidating their own territory to bother with others, leading to a patchwork of territories.

The patchwork was especially shoddy-looking. After all, there were just too many rebels.

The total number was unclear because more and more people popped up with their own banners, like bamboo shoots after the spring rain.

In these turbulent days of war, there was one city that wasn't particularly affected due to being ruled by the most powerful and well-established feudal king.

In this city, the young ladies of the wealthy families were still competing over clothes and jewellery as usual, and the young masters of the wealthy families were still dressed in vibrant robes and riding wild horses for fun.

For them, the chaotic situation outside had nothing to do with them. They were still young masters and mistresses, brothers and sisters.

The male protagonist's family and the original host's family both live inside this Crane City.

However, despite both being children of rich and powerful families, their fates were very different.

The protagonist's family was a large one, with more than a hundred descendants in the mainline alone. He was just the son of a maidservant born from a drunken encounter with the second master.

Although the world was changing and some of the commoners were starving, it was still business as usual for these large families. They could take in as many concubines as they want and place just as much emphasis on the main family line and family background as before.

So you could imagine what life was like for the protagonist who was born to a slave girl since his status was even lower than a concubine's son.

However!

He is the protagonist!

Of course he could not live like this for the rest of his life.

So back when he was still a young boy, since he was not qualified to go to the interior school and could not afford to go to an outside school either, the protagonist could only quietly listen to the lessons by the window to supplement his knowledge.

When he grew up and became more knowledgeable, he made his own plans.

Of course there were cannon fodders trying to harm him along the way, but the cunning protagonist, he took care of all of them methodically.

However, the protagonist, who was living a pretty decent life so far, suddenly suffered an inexplicable calamity.

Things went like this: In Crane City, there was only one family in equal standing with the Crane City Jiang Family, and they were the Crane City Shi family.
