Betrayal Met Its Match: The Immortal Stepson

Chu Fan spends five hundred years in the cultivation world and reaches the Nascent Soul stage before he is thrown back to Earth, where only five months have passed. He returns to Jianghai as a missing college student and finds his father Chu Weiguo about to marry into the household of Shen Li, the richest woman in the city. That makes Chu Fan the stepbrother of four women, Shen Qing and Shen Xinyi among them, none of whom want him at the table. The Shen Group is in trouble at the same time. A rival conglomerate has bought someone inside the company, and Shen Li herself collapses after being poisoned by a curse nobody can diagnose. Chu Fan treats her with needles and brings her round, then sits in on the boardroom fight and picks out which director is feeding information to the other side. At a rough stone gambling meet he buys the material the group needs to stay solvent. The sisters go from wanting him gone to asking his opinion, and the family closes ranks against the takeover.
