In the Name of the People: Claiming Both Power and Beauty, I Rise to the Top in Handong

Both were poor scholars who came from the fields, both were hometown prodigies on whom their neighbors pinned their hopes. Haifeng's life and Qi Tongwei's should have unfolded along similar paths, perhaps even reaching the same end amid the tide of the times.

But the gears of fate quietly turned because of one small yet fatal difference: Haifeng had the foresight unique to someone who had transmigrated.

When Liang Lu reached out to him with hands armed with power and malice, he did not follow Qi Tongwei's path. Thanks to his foreknowledge, he avoided her clutches long before they could swallow his life.

At life's crossroads, he turned decisively, severed all ties with a tragedy like Qi Tongwei's, and forged a completely different, smooth road through life.
