   Help! The suspended town mayor has turned a political infighting novel into a passionate epic. Yang Jian has fallen from his high spirits to the lowest point in his life: He's forced into a divorce, clutching the agreement in silence; he's forced to write livelihood plans while eating cold buns late at night; the neglected nights working overtime and the misunderstandings he suffers become the inextinguishable spark of "a clear conscience" in his eyes. 🔥 The transfer order pushes him to the center of power and throws him into the eye of the political storm, but he refuses to go with the flow! He turns away from self-interest and bends down for the sake of people's livelihood. He works tirelessly to build roads for the town and uses his own money to help those in need, living like a "lone boat in a turbulent current." Even the female protagonists are attracted to his upright spine in dire straits. ✨ This isn't just a political infighting novel; it's a blood-and-tears epic of an idealist in the mire of reality, holding onto his original aspirations and breaking through the impasse to be reborn! Everyone who has bowed their head to life can see themselves in him—true strength is not standing at the pinnacle of power, but protecting the fire of "justice" in one's heart during times of turmoil. Click here to see how an ordinary person stands up for themselves in reality; it healed my frustration and resentment over the "helplessness in the workplace."

    The pinnacle of power. It's captivating; personally, I think political novels are more readable. Some novels feel like a waste of time, utterly uninteresting. But the power struggles and the interplay of human nature are much more engaging. The protagonist starts from the bottom, stays true to his original aspirations, works for the people's well-being, and strives for national glory. Passion and fervor intertwine, ideals and beliefs coexist. The struggle against others is what makes it so enjoyable!
