A Wild Ride Through Officialdom: From the Start, I Win the Favor of a Female Boss

To repay a favor, Chen Tianming willingly takes the blame and is transferred to remote, underdeveloped Longquan Town.

The place is mired in longstanding problems, its factions deeply entrenched and its local ills tangled beyond measure. His superiors deliberately hold him back, while local strongmen close in from every side. Everyone is certain that this young outsider will be trapped in the mire, with no hope of ever rising above it.

Even in adversity, Chen Tianming refuses to bend, staying true to himself.

“When the world is in chaos and the rules lie in the dust, I’ll step into the game and set things right!”

Just as he struggles to make headway, a cool, capable female county magistrate arrives in Longquan to take charge. Outsiders assume she is young and inexperienced, unfit for the responsibility. Chen Tianming alone knows that she has far-reaching vision and powerful connections, and is determined to put the local chaos in order.

From cautious first encounters to mutual trust, the two join forces. They stand by each other in times of danger and find a way through each impasse together.

He is her most trusted and sharpest weapon, cutting through obstacles and clearing away entrenched ills.

Corruption and petty scheming? He follows the trail wherever it leads, investigates to the very end, and roots out the cancer of graft.

Bullies throwing their weight around and oppressing the people? He upholds the law, cracks down hard, and restores peace to the region.

From a scapegoat dismissed by everyone to a pillar of strength, capable of standing on his own and governing an entire region.

Follow Chen Tianming as he puts down roots at the grassroots level and stays true to his original purpose. Amid the ups and downs of officialdom, he holds fast to his principles; through turbulent times, he presses forward step by step, untangles the schemes, sweeps away the gloom, and ultimately forges an honorable career in public service!
