00:00The young man pretends to be crazy on the surface, but he was secretly recruiting a team of
00:03subordinates in the psychiatric hospital. He was also quietly funding the four great families to
00:08become top aristocratic lands. All this was to conceal his strength. One day, his father came
00:12to pick him up, bringing along a wealthy heiress, because tomorrow marked the third anniversary of
00:16his mother's death. His father hoped he would recover soon and marry the heiress, but the heiress
00:20was merely a pawn in an arranged marriage between families. She had no intention of sincerely
00:24marrying the foolish-seeming young man. Before leaving, she even warned him not to embarrass her
00:28at the engagement banquet. Little did she know he would make the most dazzling presence at the
00:32feast. It turned out the young man was actually the eldest son of the richest conglomerate. His
00:36father's two illegitimate sons, craving inheritance, had taken advantage of the dead of night to brutally
00:40murder his mother. They had also beaten him until he appeared mentally disabled. Seeking an opportunity
00:45to avenge his mother's death, the young man had no choice but to feign madness at the psychiatric
00:49hospital. His sole purpose was to enact vengeance for his tragically slain mother. When the two
00:53illegitimate sons learned their father was bringing him home, they were furious. They regretted not having
00:57killed him out right that night, so they started planning a new power grab. At that moment, the
01:01young man strode in, dramatically pushing the door open while holding his fiancée. As soon as he
01:06entered, he continued his act of madness. He ordered the butler to drive out the two illegitimate
01:10sons. The butler hastily explained they were his brothers. He also reminded him that his father had
01:14instructed him to obey his fiancée at the banquet. The fiancée was worried that it would interfere with
01:19the evening's party, so she advised the young man to stop. Seeing this, the young man reluctantly ceased
01:23his prank. He then found an excuse to leave early while secretly arranging matters for that night's
01:27banquet. He knew that to claim the family inheritance. He had to prove his capabilities to
01:31his father. Over the years, he had been dealing covertly with local tycoons, and now it was time
01:36to put that to use. Soon, the dinner banquet officially began to convince everyone he was a
01:40fool. He grabbed a slice of cake and began gnawing on it as he entered. An illegitimate son approached
01:44and locked him. He then smushed the cake into the illegitimate son's face and resumed eating as if
01:49nothing had happened. The illegitimate son, watching this, assumed he was truly insane.
01:53Unexpectedly, the young man used his apparent madness to persuade his father to hand over
01:57control the company's investment division to him. Upon hearing this, the two illegitimate sons
02:01immediately became alert. Because the investment division was the family's most crucial core,
02:06their father saw that although the young man seemed a bit daft, he still had high hopes for him.
02:09Just as the father was about to agree, the two illegitimate sons fiercely objected.
02:13The attending business partners also started clamoring, opposing the idea of entrusting such an
02:18important department to a fool. At that moment, one of the illegitimate sons proposed a fair
02:22competition. He suggested whoever earned the most profit before today's stock market closed would
02:26earn the right to lead the investment division. Their father wanted to refuse on his son's behalf,
02:30but to everyone's surprise, his son readily accepted. So the father instructed the butler to
02:34prepare a computer for each of them and granted each one $10 million in startup capital.
02:39Once the contest officially began, the illegitimate son was brimming with confidence,
02:43certain he would win. He had already reached the pinnacle of stock trading and had pre-selected
02:47several high-quality stocks. Meanwhile, the fiancé assumed her fiancé knew nothing,
02:51so she prepared to help him choose a few promising stocks. To her shock, he selected several plummeting
02:55junk stocks and ordered his subordinates to invest all their money in them. This move infuriated the
03:00fiancé, who complained that she had cursed eight generations by marrying him. Unbeknownst to her,
03:04the young man had arranged secret maneuvers. Soon the illegitimate son's stocks began to fall.
03:08In contrast, the young man's stocks kept rising. This scene stunned the illegitimate son.
03:13Seeing the young man's stocks had risen 30 points. The fiancé became ecstatic. Even her father saw
03:17his son in a new light. At this point, the other illegitimate son voiced his dissatisfaction,
03:22arguing that stock gains were just luck and didn't count. He claimed that bringing orders to the
03:26company was the true measure of ability. Their father had no choice but to give the other
03:29illegitimate son a chance. He then had a throne brought in and declared whoever signed the highest
03:33value deals within one hour would sit on the heir's throne. When the contest began, all the business
03:38partners scrambled to sign deals with the illegitimate son. The young man had not secured
03:42a single deal with an hour almost up. He showed no sign of worry. He even ran up to the throne
03:46and began acting wildly. The fiancé urged him to come down, but he asked her to give him a shoulder
03:51massage. The two illegitimate sons assumed he couldn't accept defeat. Little did they know,
03:55he was simply counting down the final three seconds. Then the contest results were completely reversed.
