In my previous life, I lived in Xingcheng, a small county town, but I was still one of the richest second-generation kids around.
So why did my parents refuse to leave me the family fortune, refuse to let me take over the family business, and make me compete with millions of college students for a government job?
What kind of nonsense was that? I was a rich kid, for heaven's sake. Why should I have to compete with them? Unfortunately, there was nothing I could do about it. In the end, I was forced to take the national civil service exam. And with incredible luck, I actually passed.
In Xia, being a rich kid with a secure government job was a top-tier status. So many people came to my house to ask for my hand in marriage that they nearly broke down the doorframe.
Sadly, my once-bright future came to an abrupt end when I suddenly dropped dead one night. How do I know I died? Because that very night, my soul transmigrated into the newborn child of a wealthy family in Huashi, Xia's most prosperous metropolis.
I thought this time I'd be born into a family several times richer than my last one, and they'd finally let me do business and make my own way in the world.
"We've already made arrangements. Once our child finishes school, they'll get a government job as long as they meet the minimum score on the national civil service exam."
"Sounds great! A stable life!"
"Damn it! Why can't I escape the civil service exam, even after reincarnating?"
