The True Young Master Gives Up and Became a Genius Artist Now Everyone's Losing Their Minds!

Fu Chuan, the biological younger son of the wealthy Fu family, was lost as a child and raised in an orphanage. Two years prior to the story's beginning, he was reunited with his family, only to be immediately overshadowed by Fu Zichen, the adopted "fake" brother who had been raised as the family's darling. Fu Zichen suffers from a terminal illness, a fact that the seven Fu sisters use to justify extreme favoritism toward him while neglecting Fu Chuan. In his previous life, this dynamic proved fatal. Following a car accident involving both brothers, the hospital lacked sufficient type B blood. The sisters donated their own blood and prioritized Fu Zichen, leaving Fu Chuan to die in the ICU while they cared for the adopted brother. Fu Chuan was reborn on the day of a minor altercation with Fu Zichen, waking up in a police station after being brought in by his eldest sister, Fu Linger. This time, he chooses not to defend himself or argue, accepting the blame calmly to avoid further conflict with his indifferent family.

Upon returning home, Fu Chuan undergoes a radical transformation in attitude. When Fu Zichen, also reborn and aware of his past life's failures, attempts to manipulate the situation by feigning victimhood over a broken photo frame, Fu Chuan does not react with anger or desperation for approval. Instead, he apologizes dispassionately and offers the frame, along with a valuable painting, to Fu Zichen. He also willingly relinquishes his childhood engagement to Qin Jian, which Fu Zichen covets. This indifference shocks the Fu sisters, who are accustomed to Fu Chuan's subservient attempts to please them. Fu Xinling, the second sister, destroys the family photo in a fit of rage, expecting guilt or fear from Fu Chuan. He merely instructs her to clean it up, revealing that he no longer values their approval or the symbolic ties that once bound him to them. Fu Chuan resolves to focus entirely on his art and academic studies, aiming to enter the prestigious Xingman Art Academy and sever all ties with the Fu family after graduation.

At school, Fu Chuan encounters Shen Shutang, a renowned online novelist and the school's beauty, who rides the same bus. Unlike in his past life, where they were strangers, Shen Shutang initiates contact. She recognizes Fu Chuan's artistic talent and proposes a collaboration for the manga adaptation of her novel, expressing absolute confidence in his abilities. This genuine belief in his potential marks a significant emotional shift for Fu Chuan, who had spent his previous life feeling worthless. He agrees to the partnership after the college entrance exams, providing him with both financial independence through freelance commissions and a meaningful creative outlet. Meanwhile, the Fu sisters begin to notice the stark contrast between Fu Chuan's growing competence and Fu Zichen's manipulative nature. Fu Qingqing, the fifth sister and an art teacher, discovers Fu Chuan's exceptional skill and feels a pang of regret for her previous neglect, though she struggles to reconcile her bias toward Fu Zichen with her recognition of Fu Chuan's genius.

The core conflict centers on the diverging paths of the two brothers. Fu Zichen, reborn with knowledge of the future, believes he can secure wealth and status by leveraging the engagement and Fu Chuan's artistic contributions. However, he underestimates Fu Chuan's determination to live independently. Fu Chuan uses his new smartphone to take on illustration commissions, earning money to buy his own equipment and reduce his reliance on the Fu family. He also befriends Shen Shutang, who supports him academically and emotionally, further isolating him from the toxic family dynamics. As Fu Chuan distances himself, the sisters experience a sense of loss and confusion, realizing too late that their favoritism has pushed their blood relative away. The story follows Fu Chuan's journey toward self-sufficiency and artistic recognition, while the Fu family begins to face the consequences of their neglect as Fu Zichen's schemes fail to replicate the success he remembered from his past life.
