In the Name of the People: My Handan Gang Defies Heaven and Wins by Half a Move

I wake up as Gao Yuliang from In the Name of the People. I retain the memories of a history professor, but find myself amid the political rapids and treacherous shoals of Handong.

Qi Tongwei no longer needs the tragic ambition to "beat heaven by half". He can be my blade. Hou Liangping's edge can perhaps be guided, and Li Dakang's GDP can become the foundation of an alliance. With the foresight of someone who knows what is coming, I make my moves beneath a calm surface: I steer Chen Hai away from disaster, prepare ahead of time for the "116 Incident", and plant a hidden piece at the "Shanshui Manor"...

This is not about copying the "Handa Gang", but building a new set of rules. I want neither Zhao Lichun's old kingdom nor Sha Ruijin's absolute vision of righteousness. I want a new Handong whose order, balance, and future I define...

From a "teacher" forced to play by the rules to a "player" who makes his own moves, this time, I decide who wins the game in Handong.
