Chen Jianguo had spent more than twenty years working at the grassroots level and had finally struggled his way up to deputy department director, only to have a stroke of luck while saving someone.
When he woke up, he had become a woman.
Shen Yunying, twenty-five years old, a master’s graduate of Jinghua University and a government recruit assigned to a township.
Then she discovered that her mind held the experience of two lifetimes: the idealism of a Jinghua University student, and the worldly insight of a veteran government worker with twenty years on the job.
Starting from the grassroots, she made her way through one tough battle after another, as if her life had a cheat code.
From the township to the capital, she advanced one step at a time, until she was swept into the storm that shook Handong...
Some wanted her to pick a side. Others tried to drag her down with them.
But she had only one thing to say:
“There is only one hill in Handong: the people.”
