Officialdom: From the Bottom to the Pinnacle of Power

One wrong move, and the whole game is lost.

Zhang Zhengsheng, reborn with his memories intact, knows this better than anyone. From the start, he finds himself caught in the power struggle between two titans, becoming a thorn in Gao Tianliang's side.

With a carefully plotted move, he is “reluctantly sacrificed” and banished to the cold palace everyone avoids, becoming the biggest laughingstock in Tianzhou.

Everyone thinks his career is over. Little do they know, this is exactly the move he wanted!

Free from surveillance and hidden from view, he turns the cold palace into his base. By day, he plays chess and grows vegetables, lulling every enemy into complacency. At night, he becomes a ghost, digging through sealed archives to uncover his opponents' deepest buried crimes!

An extraordinary appointment gives him the green light to head south, his sword aimed straight at the heart of the corrupt faction!

He is Zhang Zhengsheng. In his previous life, he amounted to nothing. In this one, he vows to bring justice to this battlefield without gunfire and set the world right again!
