Lin Chen transmigrated into a “real vs. fake young master” novel.

In the original, the protagonist was upright and outstanding, but after his identity as the fake young master was exposed and he was cast out of the family, he was humiliated and trampled by all the idle heirs in the capital. In the end, he blackened, and half of the great clans of the Imperial Capital went bankrupt because of him.

Lin Chen, expressionless: “Wonderful story. But what does any of this have to do with me, a nameless passerby? I even have to pay my own rent!”

The system said: “Five years later, when the protagonist returns, if you want to keep your job, you’d better hug his thigh tightly and beg him to spare your boss, okay? ^^”

Lin Chen, thoughtful: “You’re right. In order to resign tomorrow from this dishwashing job that pays only 2k a month, I’d better carve out my own way instead!”

The head of the A Family — a billionaire who built a legendary empire in his industry from scratch over thirty years — had only one source of constant worry: his wastrel only son, destined to squander the family fortune the moment he inherited it.

Until one day, a young man who called himself a ‘Professional Real Young Master Substitute’ came knocking.

Lin Chen: “A sense of crisis and competition are always the best motivators for growth.”

Lin Chen: “I suggest you pay me thirty million to be your son for one year. Then tell him he was actually the fake son you picked up by mistake all those years ago. By this time next year, I guarantee he’ll understand that if he doesn’t work hard, not a penny of the family fortune will ever be his!”

The A Family head was moved.

The next day, Lin Chen was welcomed through the gates of the A Family, and their only son was instantly demoted to “fake young master.”

Lin Chen: “Hahaha! Life as a young master, here I come!”

What did it feel like to be kicked down from the clouds into the mud?

The A Family’s son experienced it firsthand. He was bewildered, broken, furious, screaming, mad, then calm, then full of hate — until finally he gritted his teeth and swore to improve himself.

A year later, with a report card of straight A’s in hand, the A Family’s son stormed back home in tears, demanding of his father: “Do you want Lin Chen, or do you want me?!”

The next day, Lin Chen left satisfied — with thirty million in salary and the A Family head’s endless gratitude — faking a terminal illness and disappearing from sight.

The following year, Lin Chen became the long-lost legitimate heir of the B Family, the leading company in another industry.

The third year… the fourth year… the fifth year…

Later on, all the patriarchs of the capital’s great clans shared an unspoken secret they never dared tell their sons:

The “real young master / legitimate eldest son / big brother” whom they had all yearned for, remembered day and night, even cried and begged to see again —

…had simply gone off to another clan, to play the role of their young master instead!
