The protagonist, Lin Yan, is reborn by chance. At first, he only wants to make up for personal regrets and take revenge on the enemies from his previous life. But later, he puts down real roots at the grassroots level and binds his own career in officialdom to the fate of the people in his hometown. From “a pen pusher who can write,” he grows into a leader who can stand on his own, ultimately fulfilling his ideal of “serving as an official and bringing prosperity to the people,” and making up for every regret from his previous life.
