Trapped in a hospital bed his entire life, Li Mingzhe's only escape was through the novels he read. But fate had other plans when a mysterious book appeared on his bedside table. Before he could even read its title, the book dragged him into its pages—straight into the body of Ambrose Rothschild, the sole heir to the illustrious Rothschild family.

At first glance, his new life seems perfect: loving parents, devoted servants, and no siblings fighting for inheritance. But is this truly the peaceful second chance he yearned for? Far from it! Not only is Ambrose's body plagued with the same weakness that haunted Li Mingzhe's original life, but he's also flying blind—having never read the book he's trapped in, he lacks the story knowledge other transmigrators typically rely on!

His only ray of hope? A mysterious system that promises to enhance his abilities. But what cruel twist of fate is this? The system declares his frail body can only handle improvements to his intelligence stat! And as if that weren't enough, Ambrose has been enrolled in Crono, the most prestigious magic academy where heroes and prodigies gather like moths to a flame.

Now, surrounded by talented peers and trapped in the web of noble politics, can Li Mingzhe leverage his one advantage—his brilliant mind—to survive? With countless eyes watching his every move as the Rothschild heir, will he crumble under the crushing weight of expectations? Or will he prove that in a world of overwhelming magical might, intelligence can be the most formidable weapon of all?

The arena erupted with activity as multiple magical platforms rose from the ground, each surrounded by shimmering barriers. Professor Richard Lancaster's magically amplified voice boomed across the stadium:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the first round of our freshman ranking tournament begins! With eight seeded teams receiving byes, we have sixteen matches occurring simultaneously across the combat platforms. Remember, victory can be achieved through incapacitation, ring-out, or surrender!"

On Platform One, Helena Brightflame's team faced off against a group led by Magnus Stonefist. "Watch as fire meets earth!" Lancaster called out. "Brightflame opens aggressively with her [Flame Control], but Stonefist's [Earth Shaper] creates defensive walls for his entire team. A tactical battle of attrition unfolds!"
