Shen Du was secretary to the former top official of Qingquan County.
After his leader was brought down, his ex-girlfriend cheated on him, and his colleagues kicked him while he was down. He became the scapegoat everyone in the county government wanted to get rid of.
Countless people wanted to ship him off to manage Qingquan Hydroelectric Station, a shoddy project plagued by construction problems.
The dam was leaking, flood season was approaching, and the lives of over a hundred thousand people hung in the balance. Everyone knew it was a ticking time bomb: whoever went there was as good as dead.
But he never expected the new female leader, Gu Qingzhou, to be the person he had once saved by chance.
His ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend wanted to ruin him. The deputy county magistrate’s nephew wanted to trample him. The county magistrate and deputy county magistrate joined forces to strip him of his position and kick him out of the county committee compound.
Surrounded on all sides, he only smiled.
“Want me to take the blame? Then let’s see whose head this pot lands on.”
