In my previous life, I was framed by the person next to me and my brothers, and I fell from the peak of power to the execution ground.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back to my first day on the job.
The woman who would push me into the abyss in the future was smiling and inviting me to talk alone.
I pushed away the climbing ladder she handed me and turned towards the barren mountain village.
In this life——
I don't want shortcuts, I don't want to step on other people's shoulders, I don't want to fall into that gentle trap.
Some people laughed at me for being stupid, some waited for me to fall, and some secretly laid out a trap.
I take root at the grassroots level,
From a young clerk to a chief official,
Every step is stepped on the soil;
Every level is faced with open and hidden arrows.
This is an era when it is more difficult to be an honest official than a corrupt one.
But I decided to give it a try. I am upright, with breeze on my sleeves, heading towards the pinnacle of power with dignity.
