A corporate wage slave in his previous life, he died from overwork and transmigrated into In the Name of the People as the tragic villain Qi Tongwei.
The story opens with the iconic “shocking kneel.” The protagonist awakens memories of his past life and an all-knowing perspective, publicly tosses away the flowers and rejects Liang Lu's forced marriage proposal, tears into the sanctimonious Hou Liangping, and smashes the label of gold digger.
To break through the Liang family's power blockade, he volunteers to enter the hellish instance of Dongshan Tazhai from The Thunder.
Armed with foresight about the plot, he moves between the worlds of law and crime, toys with drug lord Lin Yaodong, makes use of the mole Chen Guangrong within the police force, and reaches above his rank to connect with Li Weimin.
He risks his life to earn merit, rises through the ranks with a ruthless war on drugs, and carefully plots his way back to Handong. The powerful figures who once looked down on him and his former girlfriend come to regret everything, and in the end, he rises to the pinnacle of power with Hou Liangping beneath his heel.
