Newcomer Lin Feng joins the civil service. A powerless contract worker, he clashes with his boss on his very first day and is ostracized by everyone. His girlfriend dumps him for a powerful man, too.
One rainy night, when he is forced to take the blame and write a self-criticism, he awakens the Eyes of Anti-Corruption, which let him see exactly how much everyone has embezzled, and binds himself to the Anti-Corruption System!
Topple a corrupt official and he can exchange the reward for money, skills, and career advancement. The bosses who once bullied him are toppled one after another, and everyone who mocked him is left stunned.
Lying low and planning ahead, he strikes in secret and rises from the scapegoat at the bottom to sweep away corruption in the ranks, making everyone who ever mistreated him regret it!
It's inherently suspenseful and intriguing, becoming more interesting the more you read, with a strong sense of unconventionality. "The Road to Promotion No One Dares to Take" offers a unique path to advancement, a subversion of typical officialdom novels. Definitely worth a read.
