Storm in the Officialdom: A Commoner's Road to the Top

In his previous life, Lin Qingyun and his sworn enemy Su Wanqing became ensnared in a shocking conspiracy. A meticulously staged “accident” brought them both down, turning them into pawns of the mastermind behind it all.

When Lin Qingyun opened his eyes again, he had returned to the night before he was due to start his civil-service placement! Armed with the strategic wisdom he had honed in his past life and the advantage of knowing what was to come, he vowed to unravel the conspiracy, expose the real culprit, and rise through the ranks on his own merits.

But the moment he arrived at the grassroots level, he was stunned: Su Wanqing, his formidable foe, with her powerful connections and cool, aloof nature, had also been reborn!

Across the conference table, they sparred with sharp words and tested each other, every sentence concealing a hidden move. In their daily dealings, they undermined and checked one another, but when confronted with common enemies and currents of corruption, they had no choice but to set aside their grudges and work together to break the deadlock.

Lin Qingyun raised an eyebrow and teased, “Miss Su, after all those traps you set for me in our past life, do you still want me to fall into them again?”

Su Wanqing shot him a cold look and replied firmly, “Enough talk. Let’s team up and take down that embezzler first!”

Knowing how to adapt doesn’t mean going along with wrongdoing, and standing by your principles doesn’t mean being rigid! True wisdom means using fair and upright methods to defeat sinister schemes within the rules, leaving the wicked nowhere to hide!

A commoner’s path to rising above his station, a powerful heiress’s struggle to break through the deadlock: from enemies to allies, the two push each other to their limits in a treacherous workplace. They root out corruption and clear every obstacle in their path, using their wits to overcome adversity and staying true to their ideals, until at last they stand together at the pinnacle of life!
