The Road to Office: Reborn, I Have to Start from the Grassroots

The top graduate in the county, assigned to its most remote township.

His fiancée thinks he’s poor and breaks off their engagement in front of everyone.

His parents humble themselves to plead on his behalf, and he accepts with a smile.

Because he has been reborn.

A year from now, this poor township will be transformed. He intends to get ahead of the curve.

From an outcast newcomer to the youngest member of the township leadership, from being ignored to receiving a special request for assistance from the provincial newspaper.

He has waited two lifetimes for every step.

The path through officialdom is perilous.

This time, he’s ahead of everyone.

A blade hides beneath every smile, and justice is trapped by the rules of the world.

Every step forward brings another cage; every move meets another wall. People’s hearts twist and turn, the road ahead is shrouded in fog, and one careless misstep could send him plunging into a silent abyss.
