As soon as selected official Lin Jian begins his grassroots posting, he stumbles upon a major corruption scandal involving infrastructure projects in Qingshi Town!
Armed with the sword of discipline, he goes after “Half-the-City Liu,” only to have the accusation thrown back at him: “You say you're fighting corruption? I think you just want to line your own pockets!”
The whole province is in an uproar. His superiors put on the pressure, and shadowy forces close in from every side.
He's clearly investigating corrupt officials, recovering stolen money, and helping ordinary people, yet he's branded as someone abusing his power for personal gain. He is suspended, investigated, and framed at every turn!
And what's even more outrageous
He intercepts the dirty money, but doesn't pocket it or share it out. Instead, he uses the stolen funds to improve people's lives!
He recovers funds for resettlement housing, repairs a dangerous bridge, and compensates the villagers who were harmed. Every cent is spent in the open, yet he pushes himself to the brink of the law.
Chief reporter Su Qingxue, veteran detective Song Mingyuan, and Chen Mingyuan are the only allies he has.
Some call him a madman; others respect him as a lone, incorruptible official.
He says: “Stolen money can be cleaned up, but justice must never be tainted!”
In this fight, he makes himself the bait and wields discipline as his sword, determined to bring down the entire corrupt empire of Yunhai Province!
No System, no brainless wish fulfillment, just high-stakes maneuvering from beginning to end.
Using corruption money to help the people, he walks a tightrope in a deadly test of justice and principle.
From grassroots clerk to sword of anti-corruption, watch him turn the tables against all odds and cut down every corrupt official!
