Hongling's Third Book

Su Yuanzhen was originally slated for promotion, but a major political upheaval in Feiyun County, a nationally designated poverty-stricken county, saw her appointed county Party secretary in a time of crisis. She never expected that during her first inspection after taking office, a township Party secretary would drink himself to death. On her second inspection, someone tried to kill her. Amid one crisis after another, she joined forces with County Magistrate Jiang Shumo, acting swiftly and decisively to punish corrupt officials, crack down on unscrupulous businessmen, and clean up the political ranks. She achieved a spectacular rise from humble beginnings, climbing the ladder of officialdom step by step and leaving others green with envy. How would this breath of fresh air in the world of politics break through the struggle between the clean and the corrupt, the black and the white? Read on to see how the two joined forces, wielded an iron fist in the political arena, and left their mark.
