While Shan Xiaojuan was secretly observing Huang Jinli, Huang Jinli was actually secretly observing her as well. Huang Jinli's family background was originally quite good, having a father who once held a county leadership position. However, after her father's retirement, she lost her support. Following several anti-corruption cases, her father's network of relationships vanished. Huang Jinli married someone who used to be her father's secretary, but after her father lost his influence, that person changed significantly and was no longer acting in their family's favor. Eventually, he even divorced Huang Jinli.
Initially, Huang Jinli worked as a regular staff member in a county department. Later, because of her beauty, she caught the eye of a city leader researching work. After several suggestions were ignored, the leader decided to give her a hard time, implying to county leaders to transfer her to work in a rural area.
