Synopsis

Wan Jinyou, a university student passionate about history and travel, falls from a cliff while exploring Mount Tai and remains unconscious for three days. When he wakes, he discovers that he has transmigrated to the Northern Wei period and into the residence of Li Fan, governor of Qingzhou in present-day Shandong. He has become the study companion of Li Fan's eldest son, Li Daoyuan. At eighteen, Li Daoyuan is fascinated by the ancient text The Waterways Classic. He vows to travel to every famous mountain and great river in the land, and to fulfill his ambition of annotating the book. Just before they set out, the study companion suddenly falls gravely ill and is bedridden for over a month. Then, just as suddenly, he makes a full recovery. His speech and manner are extraordinary, as if he has become a different person. Li Daoyuan takes a great liking to his companion, who after his illness has become skilled in both letters and martial arts. He gives him the name Wan Jinyou, meaning that he wants him to accompany him on travels across countless rivers and mountains. Though they are master and servant in name, from then on they are as close as brothers. Together they meet transmigrators from different dynasties and form an alliance with these talented and extraordinary people. Wan Jinyou appoints himself its leader and uses his advantage as a transmigrator, along with his information edge, to make the alliance the largest gang in the land. As Wan Jinyou accompanies Li Daoyuan on his journeys to famous mountains and great rivers, he has misunderstandings and entanglements with A Ying, a bird-language speaker from Persia, and other remarkable women: beauties, talented women, swordswomen, virtuous women, renowned women, jade-like maidens, and even courtesans. Their relationships deepen into mutual admiration and love, as they become one another's cultivation partners and practice dual cultivation to the utmost. In the end, they achieve perfection together, again and again. Li Daoyuan, meanwhile, remains devoted to Murong Xiangqi, the prefect's daughter, and they stay together for life. In the end, Wan Jinyou, together with his confidantes, comrades, women, and ten thousand and eight hundred descendants, carries the banner of the Transmigrators' Alliance across the globe. At last, after accompanying Li Daoyuan on travels around the world, he writes a global edition of The Annotated Waterways Classic, a work that will be remembered for generations.

Any Original Stories? I’m Sick of These Same Old Popular Plots

Recommend some fresh, original fantasy novels. No mainstream tropes, no lousy rebirth stories, no urban novels where the protagonist shows off and bumps into a beauty around the corner, and no apocalyptic stories with superpowers or a System. Are there any fantasy novels outside those categories? Ideally, something with a fresh premise and theme.

It is not easy to write a history book. It seems that the author consulted a large amount of historical materials to show readers an authentic historical look. The author has a clever idea and the story is eloquent and fascinating. Come on, author!

Wanjinyou has such an interesting name, why not just call it Wanjinyou? The male protagonist Wan Jinyou has a good father, who has a great influence on the growth of his children. A father's education can be said to be the success of a child's life. Wanjinyou truly fulfilled his father's dream and traveled to mountains and rivers. The article is so interesting, a bit funny and comedic. Looking forward to the follow up.

The author is really talented. He writes martial arts in such a funny way, which makes him feel like he is proud of the world. Moreover, the names given by the author to the characters in the book are also very good, such as tiger balm, chess, and Xia Jun's Go. In short, the writing is very exciting and very good. I hope everyone will read this book!

The protagonist's name is very interesting, homophonic with Tiger Balm. It looks funny and interesting, but in fact it has a different meaning. It complements the setting of the characters traveling all over the world. There are many details in the article, which are combined with history and imagination. It is particularly interesting. You can see the author's intention. Looking forward to the follow-up exciting things~

The growth experience of the protagonist Banjin Yu is very exciting. The characters he meets, the events he encounters, and the places he visits all show that the author has a wide range of historical knowledge. Various factors are kneaded together to form an interesting world that is very unique.
