Shi Jian, a grassroots young man, entered the official career with a pure heart. Faced with the intricate rules of officialdom and the undercurrent of the power game, he is as tenacious as a rock, forging ahead amidst crises and opportunities one after another.
Relying on his extraordinary wisdom and courage, Shi Jian started from a low-level official, broke the situation and opened up a new path, and became a lotus every step of the way. Not only must he find a way out of the complex web of interests, but he must also use thunderous means to implement reforms and stick to his original intention of serving the people. No matter how powerful the opponent is or how dangerous the situation is, he always faces the difficulties with a "stone is harder" attitude.
After decades of ups and downs in officialdom, Shi Jian finally reached the pinnacle of power... This is a magnificent epic about faith, conspiracy and counterattack. It witnesses how a "stubborn stone" was sharpened into the hardest rock in the torrent of the times and stood firm.
