    Qin Yi, reborn, refuses to believe the adage "No one can become an official without connections in court." The bitterness of his unjust death in his previous life is etched into his very bones; in this life, he believes opportunities must be paved by oneself. His first move is to swiftly rescue a female cadre from the provincial capital in danger. From then on, he proceeds cautiously, seizing every fleeting opportunity, starting as a low-ranking official and navigating the treacherous waters of officialdom with cunning. While others yearn to curry favor with the powerful, he focuses solely on each pawn he lays—helping colleagues in distress today, petitioning for the people tomorrow—seemingly unintentional actions are all paving the way for his future. He never seeks temporary peace, but rather to clear his name of the injustices of his past life, climbing step by step to the pinnacle through his scheming, leaving those who once looked down on him and framed him only to look up in awe. In this life, he soars to the top, with no regrets.
