After failing the public examination, losing his lover, and rupturing his official career, Lin Chengan spent half his life understanding a truth: once you go wrong on some roads, you will have to pay for it throughout your life.
When he opened his eyes again, he was back to the age of twenty-four. It was midsummer in Dongjiang City, and the humble position of Linjiang District Commission for Discipline Inspection was still recruiting. Everyone thought that he was just an ordinary young man with no background and no way out. Only Lin Chengan knew that in the next twenty years, urban expansion, urban reform storms, industrial transfers, financial minefields, and local debts would all come one after another.
In this life, he started from a dusty letter in the petition room, investigated corruption, renovated dilapidated areas, promoted investment promotion, revitalized counties, and cleared debt mines, and held the bottom line in the midst of factional strife and power hunting.
He does not seek to be an innocent bystander, but only wants to be a truly useful official.
