Told from the perspective of someone who transmigrates, this story follows an ordinary person’s gradual moral decline in the face of power and self-interest, exploring the real-world proposition that “absolute power corrupts absolutely.” It retains the original series’ depiction of officialdom and its tense power struggles, while using the transmigrator’s inner turmoil to intensify the conflict between justice and selfish desire, tracing how human nature warps and collapses in a maelstrom of competing interests.
