    So, right now I need some recommendation about some novel with a smart brain and calm MC (have to be male MC).
    And he was underestimated by some political figures in the modern day (neither fantasy or future day), and little by little his status were raising up until he's rich enough to buy an expensive car.

    - Strong MC is fine (but doesn't have to).
    - No harem please (but doesn't matter).
    - Romance is a must (no need to mention).

    There are some that I had read like:
    - I'm Really a Superstar (he's not calm though, you know what I mean :D)
    - My Wife is a Beautiful CEO (he's not rich, but his wife is. Maybe in the future he will)
    - Very Pure and Ambiguous: The Prequel (he's still a high schooler, but the chapter is still a few)

    OK, that's all. My stomach hurts man, I want to bring my phone to the bathroom, but the goddess of battery has abandon me. I'll reply as soon as possible.

    A Fresh Start

    A Do-over story, R-18, romance with one girl after they meet during college, mostly focuses on his career. He goes into politics and using his knowledge of future events becomes the President of the US. I love this story.

    Romance of Dragon and snake

    Political play doesn't come into play until later in the translation. No harem, bonus. As for romance, none so far.

    Slowly building up in power, definitely calm and collected unlike most xianxia. He also doesn't get arrogant after growing (so far in translation) strong.

    Doesn't get pushed around like a puppet (cough WSK)

    Comedy barely exist. No flashy powerup like xianxia and its more of wuxia story (imo)

    As for the modern aspect, ill say it's based around year 2001 when internet starts to grow into the world
