I Became a Cannon-Fodder Character in a Melodramatic Novel, Then Passed the Civil Service Exam

I’m the vicious biological son in one of those novels about a fake and real young master.

To escape the tragic ending I’m fated to meet in the original story, I fled the plot and studied hard to pass the civil service exam.

So when my billionaire parents finally found me, I’d already landed a government job and was working on the front lines of poverty alleviation.

The wealthy lady saw me hefting a sack over one shoulder and burst into tears. She insisted I come home and inherit their billions.

I looked at her earnestly. “It was so hard to get this government job. If I quit, I’ll be banned from taking the exam for five years. The exams in your city of Su are even harder, so I can’t go with you!”
