Clean Officialdom

The core plot: Lin Chen, a young man from a poor family with no background, started out by rescuing the village to break the situation, and stuck to the bottom line amidst factional strife, shady interests, and worldly sophistication. He stepped up step by step with his ability, skills, and popular support, from the township level → county level → municipal level → provincial level, and found an orthodox official path of "clean heart, innocent road, and clear deeds", and finally took charge of one party, purified the customs, and realized his ambitions.
