The Forest Keeper in Dire Straits: I Climb to the Summit Step by Step

Lu Qingyun, a young government official, is framed and wrongly accused, leaving him no choice but to take a post at a remote forestry station. Worried about her own circumstances, his wife insists on cutting ties and filing for divorce.

Soon after arriving to take up his post, Lu Qingyun happens upon a retired senior official who has suddenly fallen ill and saves him. Grateful for the older man’s appreciation and guidance, Lu stays true to himself and acts with courage and composure.

Through his own abilities, he gradually works his way back into office. He remains upright and impartial, stands by his principles, and steadily advances his career.

By the time Lu Qingyun has risen to high office and a bright future, his former wife and her family, who once left him so decisively, are consumed by regret.
