   I finished reading this political fiction novel in one afternoon, up to the latest chapter. This novel is different from 90% of political fiction novels. In my personal opinion, even those top-ranked and most popular political fiction novels are not as good as this one. I used to read every chapter of classic political fiction novels from ten years ago without missing a single one. Now I'm used to finding novels by ranking recommendations, and I can only read a few dozen or even a few chapters of top-ranked political fiction novels before I can't continue reading. In the past, political fiction novels were an important genre with a huge readership. Look at Hou Weidong's "Political Notes" by Xiaoqiao Laoshu. Although it has a whopping 3.25 Million words, there are hardly any superfluous chapters that leave a lasting impression on the reader. It doesn't lose the essence of a novel: every chapter revolves around the story. If there's no story, is it still a novel? The reason why many political fiction novels I find by ranking now are hard to follow is: 1. The psychological descriptions of the protagonist are too terrifying and exaggerated, sometimes taking up several chapters. Readers are here for the story, not for psychological activities. 2. The background introductions and era introductions of some political figures after their rebirth take up many chapters. 3. Using the writing style of fantasy novels about divine doctors, gambling on stones, and entertainment to write about officialdom is shockingly unrealistic. It portrays the speech of colleagues and female subordinates as idiots, when in reality, most civil servants at the county level and above are cautious in their speech; how many are mentally challenged? 4. Many novels, exceeding a million words, lack any real plot, consisting entirely of rambling and disjointed narratives.

It's not a harem novel; the protagonist doesn't have an invincible halo, and his career development is fraught with twists and turns, growing step by step—it feels as real as if it happened around me. Every supporting character is well-developed, with flesh and blood. Especially noteworthy are the comedic characters in each volume, which are hilarious, and the strong villains, who highlight the protagonist's wit and courage. The author is emotionally rich; some of the short stories are quite touching, naturally bringing tears to my eyes. At first, I felt frustrated, but it got more and more exciting as I read on. Good people are rewarded, and bad people are punished—it's very satisfying! Heaven cherishes life, and this book fundamentally discusses the value of being an official.

    Highly recommended!!! I've been following this political drama for a long time [admiration]. The male lead, Su Xi, returns to 2001 with his memories intact, discovering that he has a powerful background. In his previous life, he was just a lowly policeman, but now he's destined to rise to power, supported by benefactors along the way, and in turn, he supports them. He repeatedly achieves great feats and rises rapidly in rank. The pacing is fast, the plot is exciting, and it's a story where those who follow Su Xi prosper, and those who oppose him perish.
