After shooting himself, Qi Tongwei is reborn one minute before he kneels on the grounds of Handong University.
The megaphone is already in Liang Lu's hands, and everyone's eyes are fixed on his bent knees.
This time, under everyone's stunned gaze, he straightens up, brushes off the dust, and heads in the opposite direction: the provincial Discipline Inspection Commission's reporting office.
From the moment he reports the Liang family, the gears of fate shift completely:
Gao Yuliang, who should have become his ally, receives a warning ahead of time.
Li Dakang, busy plotting the Great Wind Factory project, discovers that a key piece has vanished.
Hou Liangping, newly transferred back to Jingzhou, receives a first lead that points straight to his mentor.
And a pawn that cannot be predicted appears out of nowhere on Sha Ruijin's chessboard.
With twenty years of memories at his disposal, Qi Tongwei makes precise moves in the shadows of power.
He knows the traps at the end of every fork in the road, and remembers the blades behind every “friend” who turns away.
This time, he won't climb that mountain. He'll bore straight through it and see what's on the other side.
Even if it means making enemies of everyone, including the person he used to be.
“If I could start over, would I be the hunter, or an even bigger prey?”
