The Road to Power: From Betrayal to Commanding the Storm 官路：从遭人背刺到执掌风云
For love, Lu Xiuyuan hid his identity as the heir to a powerful family, rejected his family’s arrangements, and went to a small county town. He came first in the written exam and eagerly expected to land the position, only to be betrayed by his girlfriend, lose his place, and be mocked in public as a nobody with no connections. Fine. If that’s how it is, then I’ll stop pretending. From then on, the winds of change began to blow. The people who once humiliated him finally learned what it meant to

Don’t Mess with Me, I’ve Got Connections in the Capital 别惹我，哥朝中有人
I’m Lin Ce, a rookie at work. My boss publicly dumped the blame on me, pinning a three-million-yuan disaster on me so neatly there wasn’t a crack in it. Just as I was about to pack up and leave, my ancestral jade pendant suddenly grew hot: “Tsk, even those censors in the Wanli era cited chapter and verse when they framed someone. Your boss is way too crude.” Zhang Juzheng, Grand Secretary of the Ming dynasty, is living inside my jade pendant! From then on, being made a scapegoat? Not happening.

Among the countless cases I've handled, I've found one hidden rule: behind every fallen corrupt official stands at least one woman, often a whole group of them. To thoroughly investigate a corrupt official, you first have to understand the women behind him. They are mistresses, money mules, and bait used to ensnare officials.
