    The first book tells the story of a protagonist who, in his past life, chose the wrong side in the officialdom, resulting in his transfer to a remote town and his eventual death in a car accident. Fortunately, he was reborn! Reborn individuals have a powerful advantage: the ability to foresee the future, ensuring all their choices are wise and correct. Not only do they make brilliant choices themselves, but they can also help their superiors make the right decisions. The second book features a protagonist named Chen Yang, whose past life was incredibly tragic. After being kidnapped, his father was forced to commit a crime, ultimately leading to the destruction of his entire family. Now, he's reborn, miraculously at the same point in time as his kidnapping. Moreover, his father, now a secretary-general, hasn't yet made a mistake or framed his superior because of him. Given a second chance, he's determined not to repeat his past mistakes. Let's see how he uses his wisdom to effortlessly resolve the kidnapping.
