In the Name of the People: A Son of the Emperor's Mentor, Rejecting Zhong Xia'ai from the Start

The story of In the Name of the People begins a year early. A promising young talent, Shen Mingyuan, is transferred to Handong by an official order to work alongside Sha Ruijin.

Shen Mingyuan wants no part in the political games. He has just one mission in Handong: grow the economy!

But just as the major factions begin turning on one another, an earthquake strikes Handong.

Faced with a steep economic downturn, Shen Mingyuan flies into a rage.

I, Shen Mingyuan, only want to grow the economy.

Anyone who stops me from growing the economy is going down!

The local Handong factions: the Handong University clique, the secretaries' clique, the Chen family, and the Lu family.

And the outsiders: the Sha family, the Zhong family...

Not one of them will get away!
