The Official's Edge Drawn

Reborn and back in Yunzhou, Lin Jiangbei is just an inconspicuous junior clerk. In his previous life, he backed the wrong side and was pushed out, forced to watch as Su Wanqing was framed until there was no way to save her. This time, the first thing he does after opening his eyes is stop her from drinking the wine she should never have touched.

Yunzhou's waters run deep. Some people set traps, some dig pits, and others are waiting to see Su Wanqing fall. Silently, Lin Jiangbei starts from the most overlooked corners and gradually turns dead ends into paths forward.

With no connections, he uses his information advantage. With no powerful patron, he makes himself the ace someone else can rely on.
