The Righteous Path in In the Name of the People

If I could be young again, I'd trade an ounce of gold for an ounce of wind.

Qi Tongwei is reborn from the despair of Guying Ridge. This time, he will take a completely different path.

No more kneeling to beg for a marriage. No more submitting to the powerful. No more letting his ideals shatter against reality.

When Liang Lu appears again, he rejects her decisively. When Zhong Xia'ai unexpectedly enters his life, he discovers pure love.

Starting out as a grassroots anti-drug police officer, he will draw on the experience of his past life and the insight he has gained in this one to find a righteous path to power amid the treacherous political maelstrom.

He will hold on to his ideals while changing reality, protect the people he loves while standing by the justice in his heart.

This is a story of rebirth, redemption, and growth, and the legend of how one man holds on to his principles amid the temptations of power.

Power is not the goal, but a means. A true strongman is not someone who conquers power, but someone who, even after power chooses him, can still stay true to himself.
