The Road to High Office: Starting as a Deputy Town Mayor

One step onto the path of power, and every step thereafter shapes the world.

In his previous life, Qin Lie was a promising civil servant recruited through the selection program. Betrayed by the woman he loved and framed by the powerful, he spent ten years in prison and died full of resentment.

In this life, he returns to the grassroots and quietly lays his plans, advancing carefully from deputy town mayor to the heart of power. He crushes gangs, purges corrupt officials, and eradicates traitors, ultimately reaching the pinnacle of power.

His ex-girlfriend begs him to take her back. He replies coldly: “Get lost.”

Given a second life,

he seeks no personal revenge, only the welfare of his country and its people;

he clings to no old romance, only to his principles and original ideals.

Armed with memories of his past life and the sharp edge of this one,

he rises to the top and takes command of the storm!
