Lu Yiming, a young man from a poor family, relied on his unyielding determination to enter a prestigious university from a remote mountain village. He then took the public examination and entered the institution that many people dream of. At that time, he thought that his life was finally on a smooth path - decent, stable, and worthy of his parents' expectations.
But the officialdom is not an examination room, there are no standard answers, and there are no fair graders. A word, a look, or a stance may lead to a long period of neglect and temptation. His ideals hit a wall and his passion faded away. He fell, fell silent, and got up again in the gap between human relationships and rules. He gradually realized that academic qualifications and talent alone were not enough.
Lu Yiming was handsome, spoke sharply, and looked at him wherever he went; what was even more rare was that he learned to put his edge into his smile - gentle on the surface, sober on the inside, patient when he should, and unambiguous when he should take action. As a result, he gradually gained a foothold in the thorny official career, and also attracted the favor and entanglement of countless women.
This is a road more difficult than climbing to the sky, but he has to figure out his own survival rules in every dangerous situation and firmly hold his destiny in his hands.
