Reborn: The Young Official's Path to Power

After ten years of ups and downs in the business world, rising from nothing to a fortune worth billions, Yan Chongshun thought he had figured out the rules of the game.

Then came that rainy night. His partners all turned against him, his cash flow dried up, and his business empire came crashing down. Only then did he understand: in this game of power and money, he was nothing but a pawn, ready to be discarded at any moment.

Reborn in an eerily similar parallel world, he returns to the eve of his university graduation.

This time, he turns away from the business world and resolutely enters an even more complex and dangerous arena: the power games within the system.

His failure in his previous life taught him that no business fortune comes without official connections. In this life, he will use his own hands to uncover the truth about power.

From a low-level clerk to a deputy division-level official, from handling public complaints and maintaining stability to coordinating major projects, every step is like walking on thin ice, and every decision could determine life or death.

Social niceties, exchanges of favors, political alliances, and power plays... What undercurrents lie beneath this seemingly glamorous world?

When ideals collide with reality and one's original convictions clash with temptation, can a reborn man find his own answer in this maze of power?

This is a realist work that takes a deep look at the ecosystem of power, as well as a story about choices, growth, and redemption.
