In the Name of the People: Joining the Department from the Start, I Take Both Power and Beauty

Lin Yang was unexpectedly reborn just as his direct superior, Deputy Mayor Xiao Zhen, was being framed by a local corruption syndicate and taken away by the disciplinary inspection commission on the spot.

In his previous life, Lin Yang had died suddenly after his wrongly accused superior was sent away. He was then exiled to a reservoir, where he wasted half his life, watching honest officials get ruined while criminals went unpunished.

Back at the turning point of his fate, Lin Yang used his memories of the previous life to turn public opinion to his advantage, stop an assassination by poison before it could happen, and foil the schemes of a whole gang of corrupt profiteers.

He saves his mentor Xiao Zhen, gets payback against his snobbish ex-girlfriend, and starts out as a junior division secretary in the municipal government. Step by step, he builds his career in government, climbing all the way to the top.
