In the Name of the People: Reborn as Gao Zhiwu, Monkey, You're Too Green

The ending of his previous life, when he trusted Zhao Ruilong and misjudged Sha Ruijin, only to end up behind bars and disgraced, remained etched in his mind like a carving in stone.

Yes... Life is full of regrets, and the waters flow ever eastward.

Regret is simply part of life. Why should I be any different?

Gao Yuliang opened his eyes and found himself back on the eve of Sha Ruijin’s arrival in Handong.

He could still feel the rust of the prison bars on his fingertips, but a cold fire had already kindled in his heart.

In this life, he slowly set aside the dignity of a man of letters and the doubts of a scholar, keeping only the shrewdness and resolve forged by twenty years navigating officialdom.

The game of power in Handong began anew, and this time...

He would make the first move.

Timing, public sentiment, hidden currents, open cards: he would turn them all in the palm of his hand.

He would make Handong’s fortunes turn according to his plans.

He would protect those worth protecting and seize the power worth holding.

He would take a steady, honorable road to success, one without regrets.
