   It received critical acclaim but didn't sell well [sad][sad]. The quality is truly excellent, but it lacks viewership. It's a story of officialdom + police service + the protagonist's family transmigrating together. Although it's only 300,000 words, the author's skill is evident. This high-quality officialdom novel will remain in the top five on Tomato Literature.

    The first book, "Director Qi Returns to a Turning Point in His Fate," rewrites a different life. The third book is highly recommended; the protagonist starts at the university and, through his foresight and abilities, gains favor with the East China Sea faction, steadily climbing to a high position. The second and fourth books are also good; I recommend them both.
