Backed by the Stone: My Unstoppable Rise Through the Ranks

Early 2000s China. Ye Xun is a nobody—a lowly township clerk mocked by his in-laws and overlooked by everyone. Then he discovers the "backing stone," a mystical artifact that throws open the iron gates of power. Suddenly, promotions come easy, alliances form overnight, and temptation arrives in every form: scheming family members, seductive women, ruthless businessmen. But in a world where one wrong move means ruin, will Ye Xun exploit his newfound edge or cling to his principles? A gripping tale of ambition, desire, and the razor-thin line between success and corruption.
