Back When I Was King of the Mountain

The king sends me to patrol the mountain. I wander around the valley, beating my drum and ringing my gong. Life is full of rhythm. Lu Fei, a 21st-century wage slave, dies suddenly and transmigrates into the body of a poor scholar with the same name. The poor scholar had terrible luck: on his way to take the imperial exam, the people of Ten Thousand Snakes Valley spotted him. They saw a scholar with red lips, pearly white teeth, refined features, and a faded blue robe. With his scholarly air, he looked every bit the handsome gentleman, with the bearing of a pretty boy. So the people of Ten Thousand Snakes Valley decided to kidnap him and make him their big sister's husband. From then on, Lu Fei is determined to become a pirate... no, a mountain king. This tree is mine to plant, this road is mine to open. If you want to pass through, leave a toll. As a civilized man from the 21st century, Lu Fei believes in reason. But sometimes reason doesn't work, and you run into people who refuse to listen. That's when you have to talk with your fists. Whoever has the bigger fist has the better argument. That way, everyone can sit down in peace and discuss how much the passage fee should be and how it should be paid.
