Li Tianran died once.
In his previous life, he wasted ten years here. His parents died early due to lack of medical treatment, and his mentor died with regret. It took him twenty years to climb to the provincial capital, but he ended up with a bitter end.
This time, he won't make the same mistake again.
The first thing he did was not fight for power, but go up the mountain with a shovel. Three months later, a once-in-a-century flash flood swept across the county, causing heavy losses in seven towns. Only Daqing Township remained unscathed—three flood discharge channels entrenched themselves in the mountains like giant dragons, steadily guiding the monstrous floods into the rivers. He took 300 farmers and dug it out spade by spade despite doubts and ridicules.
He became famous in one battle, but touched other people's cheese. Some people started to check his accounts, and some people started to dig into his bottom. An anonymous letter was sent to him, with only one line - "I know who you are."
From the fields in remote rural areas to the provincial capitals with high-rise buildings; from the mud-legged cadres struggling at the grassroots level to the leaders in charge of one party. Li Tianran walked an unusual path by working hard step by step. He saved relatives he could not save in his previous life, found a confidant he had never met in his previous life, and kept his original intention of "only asking about right and wrong, regardless of the future" in the tough decisions.
There are no shortcuts in this world. The so-called changing one's destiny against the will of nature is nothing more than the lessons gained in decades of wasted years in the previous life, coupled with the do-over in this life with feet in mud and a body full of sweat. In this round, he wants to win - not for revenge, but for those who owed money in his previous life, and for everything worth protecting in this life.
