Lin Zhengyi, a small official who is full of ambition but self-deprecating humor, struggles to survive in the ever-changing power field. He battled wits and courage with Qin Ruge, Du Heming and other people from all walks of life, saved the day in crisis, and laughed in good times. With the changes in the officialdom, Lin Zhengyi was repeatedly involved in the whirlpool of power. He relied on ingenuity, goodwill, occasional absurdity and on-the-spot wisdom to constantly resolve crises and gradually rise to the top. The four volumes are independent but intertwined, from a small county government office to the top of a temple, from friends to rivals, to comrades who share the same hardships, laughing about power and various aspects of life. In the end, Lin Zhengyi understood the true meaning of life at the highest peak, removed the shackles of power, and embarked on a new journey with a group of old friends.
