In his previous life, Lin Guodong held a position at the National Development and Reform Commission and misappropriated people's livelihood funds for profit, and was eventually imprisoned. His mother passed away in anger, his wife and children suffered a lot, and the deep scar with the word "regret" on the back of his hand became an indelible pain in his life. When he passed away in despair, he unexpectedly returned to the beginning of his official career.
After his rebirth, Lin Guodong kept in mind the lessons learned from his past mistakes and determined to stick to his true heart and become a good official who serves the people with integrity. When he first took office, he publicly rejected the huge bribe offered by his engineering boss, Boss Chen, and tore through the network of corrupt interests in the first confrontation. This move angered Boss Chen and his backer Wang Tiancheng. Together with their subordinate Zhao Lei, they successively used insidious means such as co-opting, framing, sabotaging projects, and threatening family members in an attempt to force Lin Guodong to join in the conspiracy.
Faced with the double test of pressure from powerful forces and the safety of his family, Lin Guo never backed down. Relying on his reborn memory, he united with upright colleagues and cadres of the Discipline Inspection Commission to collect evidence step by step. From uncovering forged documents, arresting saboteurs late at night, to uncovering layers of protection, he resolved crises time and time again and attacked the chain of corruption. His wife went from being confused and wavering at the beginning to joining hands with him; the people in the neighborhood also stood up to support him.
The scars on the back of the hands are a wake-up call for the past and an armor for moving forward. Lin Guodong fought with pride against the corrupt forces that had been entrenched for many years, thoroughly investigated the misappropriated funds for people's livelihood projects, and protected the renovation of old communities and other projects that benefit the people. In the end, he brought Wang Tiancheng, Boss Chen and the masterminds behind the scenes to justice one by one, protected the peace of the people, and fulfilled the original intention and responsibility of upright officials and capable ministers with actions.
