Song Qingcang transmigrated into a political-intrigue novel as a minor official who dies in the opening chapter. He shares the original character's name, and from the start, he's poisoned and turned into a stepping stone for someone else's rise to power.
The original was arrogant and incompetent, ashamed of his poor wife and daughter. He abused and neglected them, squandering a winning hand until he met a miserable end, poisoned to death with his family torn apart.
When he opened his eyes, an iron-blooded powerhouse had taken over his body. Gripping this precarious mess, he looked out at the world with nothing but cold ruthlessness and clear-headed resolve.
The power above him was fading, while shadows gathered at his feet. A former nobody, he was determined to shatter this deadlocked game.
His beautiful wife, whom he had neglected, and his timid, frightened daughter would be the vulnerabilities he must protect for the rest of his life, and the armor that would help him turn the tables.
Workplace rivalries, conspiracies on all sides, the poisoner lurking in the shadows, and those in power watching like tigers.
He entered the game over the corpses of minor characters, wielding patience as his blade and ruthlessness as its edge. Making his way through the mire of political power, he rose from an unremarkable junior official to the very top, taking control of the world.
The so-called uncertainty of power is never a glory bestowed by heaven. It's a way to survive, won in blood.
You poisoned me and left me at death's door from the start. Then I'll take your road to power, protect everyone I love, and seize control of my own destiny!
