   Having read officialdom novels for years, this one is the most upright and honest. 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. In particular, each volume features a comedic character that makes you laugh out loud, as well as a powerful antagonist who highlights the protagonist's wit and courage. The author is emotionally rich; some short stories are quite touching, naturally bringing tears to my eyes. At first, I felt frustrated, but it became increasingly 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. If every official had the protagonist's magnanimity and mindset, and if there were officials like the protagonist in reality, the world would be a better place. [Thumbs up][Thumbs up]

Who became the magistrate had nothing to do with him. But it was a bit strange that a longtime friend came to talk to him about it, and even brought up his ex-girlfriend and her father, who was a high-ranking official in the provincial party committee. ③After working for two months, the section chief asked him to go to a town to be the deputy mayor.

    🍅The most comprehensive collection of novels featuring a single female lead in the officialdom and politics genre. First book. 9.6 High score. The male lead is reborn after a car accident, starting as a low-level police officer. Using his past life's memories, he gradually solves numerous major cases, and his career soars. Compared to other officialdom novels, this one is quite good, without too many major flaws. The only thing to watch out for is the romance between the male and female leads, which is quite problematic. Second book. The latest work by author Wang Hongtao, continuing the writing style of his previous book, ensuring high quality. Third book. This one is different from the others; the male lead isn't reborn, but rises through the ranks entirely based on his intelligence and talent in this life. The author has written three books; the first two are about the male lead, and the last one revolves around his daughter. The male lead is reborn, initially saving a powerful figure and his future wife, gaining appreciation, encountering benefactors, and rising step by step. This one is pretty enjoyable. The male lead is the descendant of a high-ranking official in the capital, but he was separated from his family for various reasons. Because of his maternal grandfather and mother, he has people protecting him all the way. It has a bit of a Ye Qingmei vibe, hahaha, this is the fifth book. The male lead, Zhou Yang, is reborn and slowly rises in rank. In general, neither the political nor the romantic storylines have any major flaws.
