   It's a bit reckless. After reading about two hundred chapters, the character of the protagonist is really confusing. To put it mildly, he sounds commendable for his courage and justice, but in reality he is too stubborn and a reckless man. To be honest, the protagonist has no one to rely on, and if he behaves like this in the officialdom, he will be gone long ago. After being reborn, it seems to be of no use. The only purpose of this golden finger is to let him know what happened to a big shot, and there are some clues. He actually thinks about taking down these big guys every day. He says, "I understand," and then turns around and becomes reckless again. It's infuriating. You shouldn't worry about your own affairs, how to climb up and kill those people. Forget it, maybe the author wanted to portray a sense of justice in the character, which was a bit overwhelming.

   Rebirth of Officialdom Counterattack In the eyes of many people, officialdom is like a cruel power game, full of intrigues and intrigues, and its sinister level is far greater than that of the Jianghu. But Liu Fusheng has a completely different understanding. In his view, officialdom is the intersection of love and law, the confrontation between black and white, the collision of truth and lies, and it is also a battlefield for adhering to the right path in the world. Liu Fusheng in his previous life was timid and submissive. In the officialdom, he only wanted to live a stable life and never took the initiative to fight for power and gain. However, this indifference did not make him safe and smooth. Those with evil intentions, in order to achieve their own goals, ruthlessly regarded him as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh, and framed him at all costs. Isolated and helpless, Liu Fusheng couldn't explain anything, and in the end he could only suffer injustice and ended his life in depression. Perhaps God took pity on his situation and gave him a chance to be reborn. When Liu Fusheng opened his eyes again, he found that he had gone back to the past. This time, he was no longer the weak man who allowed others to bully him. Having experienced life and death, he has seen through all the darkness and light of officialdom, and is well aware of the rules of officialdom and the weirdness of human hearts. Every promotion path and every crisis challenge is in his eyes like a clear map. From this moment on, Liu Fusheng was determined to change his destiny. Those who have framed him, those demons and monsters who obstruct justice, as long as they dare to stand in the way of his pursuit of the right path in the world, he will fight back with thunderous means, plunging them into an abyss of eternal destruction. In this life, he will break through the thorns in this challenging officialdom, carve out his own glorious path, and let the light of justice illuminate every corner of the officialdom.
