Chen Zhijian was originally an ordinary civil servant in a small town. Due to an accident, he was elected as the deputy section chief, and he embarked on a road of no return in officialdom. In the game of power, a group of various characters gathered around him: the principled Ye Qingyun, the smooth and changeable Wu Miaoyan, and Huo Jinnan, who is both an opponent and a senior. Together they perform absurd, hilarious and profound human dramas. Chen Zhijian gradually grew up in the struggle between agencies, the ups and downs of promotion, the disillusionment and rekindling of his ideals. In the end, when he finally sat in a high position, he looked back on his ups and downs and found that the people around him, friendships, ideals and himself had all been reshaped in the torrent of power. And his choice determines his final destination and destination.
