"The first ten years went smoothly, and he quickly rose to the standard seventh rank."
"After that, for thirty years, when he was a hundred years old, he reached the standard fifth rank."
"But for some unknown reason, in the following fifty-four years, he remained stuck at the fifth rank."
"For fifty-four years, he was transferred to seventeen different places, never staying at one place for more than three years before being reassigned or dismissed."
"From secondary fifth rank to standard fifth rank, and from standard fifth rank back to secondary fifth rank, he experienced this up-and-down cycle multiple times. The strange thing was, every time he was demoted, he would be promoted again shortly after."
"Until the 17th year of the Jingxin Calendar, he was demoted to the standard sixth rank and was assigned to Returning Ruins City. This time, however, it took until this spring for him to get promoted again."
