In his previous life, his biological father hid it from Lu Yang, letting his cousin take his place in college and forcing him to work himself to death to support his cousin’s studies. As a result, his cousin got drunk and beat someone right when a severe crackdown was happening. His biological father then forced him to take the blame, and he was imprisoned for five years. By the time he was released, his father was already in the late stages of bone cancer.
He sold blood to buy painkillers for his father, but his father wrote a will leaving all his property to his cousin. He only found out before he died that his cousin was the child of his father and his second aunt through incestuous relations!
After being reborn, he immediately split the family and decisively cast aside his blood-sucking second aunt, cousin, and stepsister, letting them fend for themselves. He became cold-blooded and ruthless. When his biological father forced him to pay tuition for his cousin, he immediately took out a fake IOU and feigned poverty.
When his cousin tried to morally blackmail him into paying his gambling debts, Lu Yang immediately reminded him to threaten their stepsister, the “white lotus.” When his cousin became an official and framed him, Lu Yang retaliated by reporting him for corruption, sending him to prison, and bribing the guards to “take good care” of him.
He accumulated wealth step by step. By the time those around him realized what was happening, he had already become immensely wealthy, standing at a height they could never reach.
