Synopsis

Chen Zhiyuan once took the wrong path.

At thirty-five, he stood at a crossroads in life and chose to bow to power. He thought it was a shortcut, never realizing it led straight into an abyss. When the truth came out, he was pushed forward to take the fall. His wife died with hatred in her heart, and his daughter was left to wander, homeless. He closed his eyes, consumed by regret.

When he opened them again, he was back in 2008.

He was twenty-five, a junior clerk at the Qingjiang County Commission for Discipline Inspection, earning 1,800 yuan a month and renting a partitioned room in an urban village. There was still time to make things right. He had not lost his way, his wife was still studying for her graduate degree in the provincial capital, and his daughter had yet to be born.

In this life, he wanted nothing for himself. He wanted only two things: to send those wolves in human clothing to prison, one by one; and to protect the wife and daughter he had failed in his previous life.

What he didn’t know was that, from the moment he began investigating his first case, someone was watching him from the shadows.

“What’s with this guy? He seems like a completely different person.”

How Long Can a New Writer Hold On? Will They Lose Heart?

I'm looking for stories like Northern Frontier Dragon's Song. Lots of writers check their story stats every day like they're scrolling through their social media feed. Instead of doing that, they should take some time to polish their work: make mind maps and drafts, and build their characters carefully. Good...

I'm So Bored! Are There Any Good Novels to Read?!

I want authors with strong writing, rich plots, and solid logic. No cookie-cutter, rambling stories, please. I’m fine with familiar tropes if the author can make them feel fresh, but don’t recommend anything generic; it’s incredibly boring. I don’t know what to read anymore. I’ve pretty much had my fill of stories on Tomato Novels.
