   Having read officialdom novels for many years, this one is the most upright. 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. [Thumbs up] Every supporting character is well-developed, with flesh and blood. Especially noteworthy are the comedic characters in each volume, which are hilarious, and the strong villains, which highlight 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 evil 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]
