Mocked by Family, Revered by All is a 2026 Chinese short drama available on the DramaBox platform, consisting of 78 episodes. It follows the powerful underdog-to-legend arc that has made Chinese short dramas wildly popular worldwide.
Plot Synopsis
Ten years before the story begins, the protagonist Seth Cohen's mother dies from illness. Shortly after her death, his father replaces her with another woman and brings home an illegitimate son — driving Seth to leave home entirely. He travels to Zenith Peak, trains under a legendary master, and transforms himself into the renowned "Dr. Zenith."
Upon returning home, Seth is unrecognized and mocked by his own family, who see him only as the son they discarded. His true mission, however, is to fulfill his late mother's dying wish: protect his three sisters and secure them a lifetime of peace and wealth.
He left in silence. He returned in glory. His family mocked the man they never knew.
