Xu Lang's father was imprisoned for exposing corruption in the Qingjiang Gate Project. When he was dying, he left concrete samples mixed with jasmine essence.
Ten years later, Xu Lang was admitted to the Water Conservancy Bureau. From the tampered handwriting on the flood control watch list to the mysterious cracks in the water pipeline in Peel Town, he uncovered the truth layer by layer like agarwood splitting a mountain.
Night heron feathers in the concrete, Soviet nuclear waste, and Professor Zhong Yunshen's top-secret files form a shocking shady story under the provincial umbrella.
From a township technician to a new leader in central discipline inspection, Xu Lang used data as an ax and people's hearts as lamps to carve out a dangerous path for reform in the maze of power and intrigue.
When jasmine blooms all over the Qingjiang River again, the loyal bones under the dam will finally see the light of day.
