Officialdom: My Rise Has No Surprises

In his previous life, he gave everything he had, only to pave the way for someone else. One wrong choice of sides cost him everything, and he died full of resentment.

When he opens his eyes again, he's back in 1998, the year that changed countless lives.

This time, he won't be a pawn. He'll be the one moving the pieces!

While everyone else is still at a loss, he uses an overlooked research report to accurately predict the enormous opportunity in state-owned enterprise reform. He sends it straight to the county magistrate's desk, setting the county committee compound ablaze with excitement!

From then on, every time he chooses a side, he aligns himself with the pulse of the era; every move he makes strikes his opponents where it hurts most. What others see as a crisis is a stepping stone he's already calculated. The opportunities everyone else fights over are merely spare pieces he's placed on the board.

Some say he's lucky, always with influential benefactors ready to help.

Only he knows the truth:

Those so-called benefactors are people he helped rise to prominence. His good fortune is all part of his carefully planned strategy.

There are no accidents in my rise.
