The Pinnacle of Power: From Secretary to the Top

In 2008, Zhang Longfei, secretary to the municipal party chief, was reborn on the day Mayor Wang Lanfang was investigated by the Discipline Inspection Commission, the turning point of his fate. After a sex video supposedly showing his fiancée, Sun Jiaxin, with his enemy Xu Wenbing was forged, he was lured into a trap and imprisoned for six months. This indirectly led to Wang Lanfang dying of illness with her name unjustly besmirched, and his family falling apart. Reborn with knowledge of the future, he secured key evidence before the Discipline Inspection Commission could intervene: a recording exposing how Wang Lanfang's cousin had been framed, and footage of Xu Wenbing and Sun Jiaxin checking into a hotel together. But the investigation was obstructed, and Zhang was framed in turn. The Xu family's influence even tried to restrict his freedom of movement. Through calm maneuvering and the covert support of Li Shaomin, deputy secretary of the provincial Discipline Inspection Commission, he gradually exposed the Xu father-and-son duo's corruption network. From being placed under investigation by the Discipline Inspection Commission to being seconded to the investigation team, he ultimately turned the tables and sent the mastermind behind it all to face trial. A sixteen-year revenge and anti-corruption storm was about to unfold, and Zhang Longfei would transform from a “fall guy secretary” into the torchbearer who stirred the hidden currents of officialdom.
