   This book is also quite good. Before his rebirth, the protagonist was the deputy director of the Department of Justice. He became a victim of factional struggles. After his rebirth, he started from scratch as a staff member of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.

He faced the factional struggles of the past again. Let's see how he handles them with ease and moves between the various factions.

    A realistic portrayal of officialdom, far from the saintly idealist characters! The male lead was corrupt and ruthless in his past life, but in this life, he is shrewd, knows when to advance and retreat, and is well-versed in the unspoken rules of officialdom while firmly adhering to his principles. The female lead is devoted to him without any melodramatic clichés. Walking a tightrope between human relationships and principles, every step of his promotion reveals his mastery of human nature, making the story incredibly realistic.
