What Do I Do? My Dad Is a Treacherous Official!

A childcare story, also known as Stopping Dad from Getting Promoted and Rich Every Day Blurb: Ping’an grows up carefree until the age of four, when he learns that his father is a treacherous minister... He transmigrates into an unofficial history book called A Record of Treacherous Ministers Since the Jingxi Era, becoming the son of the Great Yong dynasty’s foremost traitorous chancellor. According to the book, his father, Chen Yan, rose to the post of chief grand secretary, but abused his power, acted high-handedly, and built a faction around himself. After his death, his family was confiscated and investigated, and he was recorded in the annals of treacherous ministers. The whole family was implicated and sent into military exile together. Ping’an looks at his refined, scholarly father and thinks: Is this right? After countless nights of “careful planning,” Ping’an becomes the biggest obstacle on his father’s path to passing the civil service examinations: Dad studies, I bang a gong. Dad writes an essay, I set off firecrackers. Dad’s exam is tomorrow, so I’ll hide his exam token, travel permit, registration papers, everything! The plan is proceeding smoothly, but a year later, Chen Yan passes the highest imperial examination and returns home in glory. Ping’an looks up at the sky, hands tucked into his sleeves: ... Why did his ranking go up, too? If the plan changes, then change the plan. Better to risk everything than sneak around! He cheers on the Wise Prince, offers advice to the emperor, and becomes sworn brothers with the least-favored prince. He investigates the minister’s faction, protects the upright officials, and blocks every step on his father’s road to becoming a traitor. He, Chen Ping’an, is going to utterly crush the opposition! What his father hears: Crush... Ten years later: The Wise Prince’s reputation collapses, the treacherous ministers unite, and his unreliable brother somehow becomes emperor. The family home is packed with visitors and honored guests, all celebrating as his father rises step by step. Ping’an (wiping sweat): You flatter me. This was just a normal performance... #Has the second-generation traitor made it in yet?# #The harder I try, the more unlucky I get, and I’m really struggling with that# #I’ve nearly worn myself out for this family# Reading Guide: 1.

The overall tone is heartwarming, so please enjoy without worry. 3. The focus is on family bonds and careers, with very little romance. Really very little. 4. Fictional Ming dynasty setting, so please don’t worry about historical accuracy~ Theme: If you rise, serve the whole world; if you retreat, cultivate yourself
