The Pinnacle of Power: Rejecting the Provincial Minister's Daughter

In 2025, Deputy Mayor Qi Xuebin, forced to take the fall for a political conspiracy, commits suicide, only to be reborn back in 2007 as a rookie police intern. Determined to rewrite his destiny in this second chance at life, he firmly rejects an advantageous arranged marriage into a powerful elite family, swearing to become an incorruptible officer of the law. By day, he is the sharpest detective in the local precinct, cracking baffling cases with brilliant deduction. By night, he is a multi-millionaire web novel sensation writing under a pseudonym. Behind the scenes, he serves as the steadfast protector of a principled female county magistrate as she ascends the treacherous political ladder. Armed with the foresight of the future and unyielding integrity, Qi lives by a simple code: remain upright, govern cleanly, and fiercely protect everyone who truly matters.
