Reborn in 2008: Starting with a Secondment to a Township

Chen Yu spent half his life swallowing his grievances. When he came back to life on that morning in 2008, he finally saw the game unfolding around him.

He was an unremarkable team leader in a small township, but by chance he stumbled upon a web of connections, layer upon layer. Following an inconspicuous clue, he looked from the town to the county, then from the county to the invisible web spanning the city.

Some advised him to mind his own business; others pressured him openly and behind the scenes. Chen Yu simply kept gathering his cards, one by one, and waited quietly. This time, he would turn the whole game on its head with his own hands.

From an overlooked nobody to someone the higher-ups had no choice but to take seriously, he used the perspective of someone reborn to bring down, one by one, those who had long sat securely at the top.
