The Road to Public Office: Reborn as a Judge, I Hunt Down Wrongful Convictions

[Feel-good power fantasy + immersive, TV-drama-style storytelling + not a brainless, simplistic novel] If you don’t like that, don’t read.

A real man lives between heaven and earth. How can he spend his whole life beneath others?

Li Quan, a judge who was forced out of the political arena in his previous life because of his timid nature, is reborn after a car accident caused by an attempted murder.

In this life, he is reborn one year before the special campaign to crack down on organized crime and root out evil.

So he decides to cast off his timid nature and wipe out the corrupt officials who lord it over ordinary people, along with the criminal forces that terrorize them. He will seize every opportunity and climb the ladder of power step by step, rising rapidly to the top.

Thus is born an officialdom’s executioner, so fearsome that corrupt officials and criminal gangs tremble at his name.

The later generations’ Records of the Tang State recount: “Whenever Li Quan took charge of a province, he launched a sweeping investigation into corruption, leaving everyone above and below him trembling in terror. If all those who trembled were corrupt officials, then those Li Quan executed were all wicked bureaucrats. This was a blessing for the people, and Li Quan’s slaughter of officials was a virtue.”
