Synopsis

Yu Bei, a young official selected for government service, runs into the county's most powerful woman on his very first day at work. She singles me out, and the whole county is stunned. Everyone is waiting to see me make a fool of myself. But I refuse to let her lose. A data discrepancy she couldn't resolve in three days, I found in a single night. I saw through her opponent's schemes before they could unfold. When she was surrounded, I stepped in front of her. “If you want to touch her, you'll have to get through me first.” With red-rimmed eyes, she said, “Yu Bei, you're the only move I've ever lost.”
