During the Xuanhe era of the Northern Song, the star chart of Liangshan Marsh concealed a deadly plot.
Song Mingyang, an international military archaeologist, transmigrates into the body of Song Jiang, only to discover that he has landed in a story very different from Water Margin. The imperial court has long had a campaign called Records of the Suppression of Bandits to crush the 108 stars. Fang La’s Manichaean followers have raised their banner ten years early, while the star chart brought by a bronze chariot is tearing space and time apart into a vortex.
Armed with modern memories of gunpowder formulas and the Wujing Zongyao, Song Jiang seeks a way through the narrow gap between the martial world and the imperial court:
When modern military knowledge collides with the heroes’ code of honor, smoke rises over the battlefields of the age of cold weapons. Chao Gai’s suspicions become hidden arrows in the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness; the star chart on Wu Yong’s fan foretells brothers turning against one another; and the “Yongle” bronze token sent by Fang La’s envoy reveals that the transmigrator is history’s greatest variable...
This is a life-or-death struggle amid the folds of time and space:
When Liangshan’s firearms face off against the Western Army’s iron cavalry, what kind of sparks will fly?
