In his previous life, he planned every move with care, yet still lost by a single misstep. Just as he was about to reach the heart of power, he fell from grace, and worse, he had failed the woman who once lit up his life with hers: Jiang Yanxi.
In this life, Chen Mingyuan returned with his memories, starting over from the bottom. The world of politics was treacherous, and people’s hearts ran deeper than the ocean. He saw every loophole and laid his plans with precision, listening for thunder in the silence. He wanted no revenge for the satisfaction of it; he only wanted never to fail her again. So Jiang Yanxi, who had fallen like a shooting star because of him in his previous life, became the one variable in all his meticulous plans, and the deepest object of his longing. He would not only ride the waves in this deep sea, but also raise up for her a clear sky that would never sink. See how Chen Mingyuan builds outstanding political achievements from the smallest details, rises to the top when the winds begin to blow, and keeps his promise to devote his whole life to her when he reaches the highest office.
This is a contest between power and principle, and the story of a man writing an answer without regrets over the course of two lifetimes.
