The Pinnacle of Power: From Government Trainee to a Meteoric Rise

Lin Xingbang was a rising political star on the verge of reaching the pinnacle of power. But at the critical moment of a flood-control rescue, he gave his life to protect the people, forever swallowed by the raging floodwaters.

When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to 1996, a crucial turning point after graduating from university, in the golden age when the civil service selection program was taking shape. Decades of experience navigating political waters, invaluable lessons learned at the grassroots level, and foresight into future policies all became his strongest assets.

Shedding the composure of a high-ranking official and taking up his youthful identity once more, Lin Xingbang sets his sights on the civil service selection program, the “fast track” into government. With his original ideals as his rudder and foresight as his sail, he must avoid the reefs and shoals of his previous life and make up for past regrets. More than that, he will put down roots in the fertile soil of grassroots governance and ride the tides of the times with his vision and practical dedication.

From the ivory tower to the townships, from paperwork to matters that affect people’s livelihoods, he plans every step carefully, earns a reputation through results, and uses his wits to overcome one crisis after another. This time, he will not only climb back to the pinnacle of power, but also forge a smooth path to success worthy of the people and the times!
