The Official Ladder: From Provincial Secretary to the Pinnacle of Power

What is the political path? It is both a political journey and a righteous road. As long as one holds firm to righteous thoughts, an unquenchable light, and enduring ideals, they have stepped onto the correct path. Only through righteousness can one truly s쳮d in officialdom. The ultimate path is simple, and victory belongs to justice. With the people, the law, and the Dao in one's heart—guided by an undying conscience, unwavering justice, and a deep reverence for heavenly principles, the common folk, and nature—one can achieve greatness. The three rules of the official ladder are profound wisdom, the support of influential patrons, and divine luck. This is the frantic, turbulent, and death-defying history of a secretary, as well as an epic tale of rise and ambition. The protagonist begins as an ordinary low-level secretary, keeping righteousness in his heart, walking the correct path, holding justice in his eyes, and exuding integrity. Despite being framed multiple times by petty rivals and repeatedly teetering on the brink of permanent ruin in the abyss, he ultimately relies on burning justice and an undying belief to rise again from the dark valley. Deng Yongfei, the child of ordinary working-class parents, is elevated by his predecessor Li Mingqian and mentored by senior provincial official Zhong Litao. Armed with exceptional intuition, sharp and accurate judgment, and decisive, uncompromised execution, he overcomes crisis after crisis to welcome new dawns, ultimately ascending to the pinnacle of power.
