In the Name of the People: I'm Nearly at Death's Door, So Stop Promoting Me!

"Comrade Gu Lan, this is your First-Class Merit award, announced across the province, along with your appointment as deputy head of the First Division of the Anti-Corruption Bureau!"

Looking at the solemn provincial leaders beside his hospital bed, Gu Lan sighed. Bandaged from head to toe, with a cigarette still between his lips, he said, "Sir, I think I can be demoted a few more ranks."

He transmigrates to Handong and becomes bound to a curse that reverses cause and effect.

To stay alive, Gu Lan spends his days slacking off, clocking in and sleeping at work, and talking back to Lu Yike, all in hopes of getting fired.

But who could have guessed that the longer he stays in this world, the stronger the curse becomes, forcing him to use forbidden techniques from the Celestial Masters' estate in his past life to investigate cases through "self-destructive" methods?

The result...

When Zhao Dehan hides two hundred million in cash, Gu Lan glances at the threads of cause and effect and catches him red-handed on the spot.

When Ding Yizhen meticulously plots his escape, Gu Lan stops him at the airport by physically intercepting him, even as he "coughs up blood and passes out."

He is only trying to exploit a bug to farm extra years of life, but in everyone else's eyes, he has become Handong's most incorruptible and iron-fisted investigator, a lone hero willing to burn his life away!
