In the Name of the People: Reborn from the Start, Rising to the Top of Handong Politics

I am Gao Yuliang.

In my previous life, I prided myself on the integrity of a man of letters, yet I became the Zhao family’s front man for laundering money.

In the end, Sha Ruijin and Hou Liangping brought me down. My reputation was ruined, and I was thrown in prison.

At my trial, I bowed my head and pleaded guilty, my heart full of regret.

But in this life, I refuse to do that!

Because I have been reborn on the eve of Sha Ruijin’s arrival in Handong.

Given a second life, I have torn off the mask of hypocrisy and cowardice and become the true mastermind of Handong.

Hou Liangping wants to use his imperial sword to investigate me?

I’ll lay irrefutable evidence in the capital, so he may enter Handong, but he’ll never make it past the border marker!

Zhao Ruilong thinks he can keep controlling me?

I’ll sweep away his criminal enterprises and use the Zhao family as my stepping stone to the pinnacle of power!

Sha Ruijin thinks he can control the situation?

Too bad. The entire underworld and legitimate world of Handong are loyal to me, Gao Yuliang!

If you stay out of politics, seeing me is like a frog in a well looking up at the moon in the sky.

But if you set foot in Handong, seeing me will be like an ant looking up at the heavens!

This time, I will outwit fate and climb to the peak of power.

From now on, there will be only one voice in Handong Province: mine, Gao Yuliang’s!
