Humble Official

Lin Zhao, courtesy name Huaiyuan, was originally a government clerk in a small county in the south of the Yangtze River. His father was framed and died for exposing corruption, and his mother died of illness. He has been exposed to the influence of the county government since he was a child. He is familiar with the laws and has a careful mind. On the surface, he is humble and respectful, but in fact, he has a palace in his belly. Let's see how he shows how a low-level official relies on wisdom, forbearance and opportunity to survive step by step in the corrupt officialdom, and finally takes over the power. He exposes the conspiracy and game in the power game, explores the collision between ideals and reality, and the choice between personal ambition and moral bottom line.
