The Hired Real Heir: 30 Million a Year

Lin Chen transmigrated into a novel about a real and fake young master. The original protagonist was righteous and outstanding, but after his identity as the fake young master was exposed, he was expelled from his family and subjected to humiliation by various spoiled heirs. Ultimately, he turned dark and crippled most of the capital's elite families. Lin Chen, deadpan: How thrilling. But what does this have to do with me, a nameless extra? I even have to pay my own rent! The system said: Five years later, the original protagonist returns. If the host wishes to keep his job, he must work hard to cling to the original protagonist’s thigh and beg for his employer's life. ^^ Lin Chen, thoughtful: You’re right. To quit this 2k-a-month dishwasher job tomorrow, I should find my own way out! The head of Family A, a billionaire who built an industry legend from scratch over thirty years, had one enduring sorrow: his spoiled, good-for-nothing heir, who would surely squander the family fortune upon inheriting it. Then one day, a young man calling himself a "professional stand-in for the real young master" came knocking. Lin Chen: "A sense of crisis and competition is the best motivator for improvement." Lin Chen: "I suggest you hire me for 30 million to play your son for a year, then tell him he’s actually the fake young master you mistakenly brought home. By this time next year, I promise he’ll learn what it means to lose everything if he doesn’t work hard!" The head of Family A was tempted. The next day, Lin Chen was welcomed into the A family mansion, and the A family’s young master was demoted to "fake" status. Lin Chen: Haha! The life of a young master, here I come! What did it feel like to be trampled from the clouds into the mud? The A family’s young master found out. He was bewildered, shattered, furious, screaming, raging—then finally calmed down, gritted his teeth, and vowed to strive for greatness. A year later, the young master returned home with straight-A grades, tearfully demanding his father choose between him and Lin Chen. The next day, Lin Chen, satisfaction written all over his face, took his 30 million paycheck and the patriarch’s endless gratitude, faked a terminal illness, and made his exit. Year two, Lin Chen became the long-lost eldest son of industry-leading Family B. Year three… Year four… Year five… Eventually, the capital’s elites shared an unspoken secret they dared never reveal to their heirs: That beloved "real young master"/"eldest brother"/… you’ve been pining for all these years? He’s off playing young master at Family X now!
