Flowers in the Officialdom

At school, she was a stunning beauty. In the turbulent world of politics, she suffered one defeat after another. A poor girl from a farming family faces hardship at home and throws herself into her studies, earning a place at the prestigious university of her dreams. Her outstanding looks make her the campus beauty, and she becomes caught up in a series of emotional twists and turns with a wealthy, womanizing upperclassman and a poor but loyal, kind-hearted fellow villager. Once she enters politics, she works hard, hoping to defy fate and change her life through her own efforts. But after repeated failures, she loses her ideals and convictions. As she ruthlessly pursues fame and wealth and curries favor with the powerful, she becomes utterly corrupted and loses herself. She ends up in prison, finally sees the error of her ways, and realizes that in the end, it was all for nothing.
