Five years ago, Yang Dongsheng, blinded by love, gave up his civil service interview and took the blame for his girlfriend after she caused a car accident. He thought he'd spend just a few days in the detention center, but the victim died, and Yang was sentenced to five years in prison.
During those five years, his parents were brutally killed, and his younger sister was assaulted and left in a vegetative state.
His girlfriend never once visited him. Worse still, she married the wealthy heir who was actually responsible for the crash.
To avenge his parents and sister and uncover the truth, Yang Dongsheng learned the ways of officialdom from Old Chen, a man with connections everywhere. He willingly agreed to become one of Old Chen's pieces in his revenge plot after getting out of prison.
But on the night before his release, a great fire destroyed everything.
By some miracle, he was reborn with his memories of his previous life, back on the day of his civil service interview five years earlier.
Just as he was about to give up on a government career and enter the business world, he saw his girlfriend entering the examination hall with the wealthy heir.
