    Originally lying in a hospital bed, Xie Huanyang opened his eyes to find himself back in 1998, on the very first day of his report. Before him stood the very culprit from his past life who had caused him so much trouble, now chatting and laughing with him, seemingly unconcerned about his own insignificance. As a nobody, how should he navigate this situation? Xie Huanyang provided the answer: a meticulously planned scheme to cleverly resolve his problems. Watch as Xie Huanyang, like walking on thin ice, climbs the long and arduous path of officialdom to its pinnacle. In the officialdom, power and influence are interdependent; power is the foundation of influence, and influence is the extension of power. Neither can be lacking. Reborn, no matter the storms of life, Xie Huanyang will walk with ease, declaring, "Who rules the world? I will rule the world!" He will stand at the forefront of the times! All of this begins with his position as the chief secretary of the municipal government. From here, everything changes; he will use strategy to turn his life around.
