Li Wei, a modern programmer, dies suddenly from overwork and unexpectedly transmigrates into the Northern Song dynasty, becoming Li Kui before he has even come of age.
A System arrives from the start. He thinks he can rely on his golden finger to defy fate and change his life, only to discover that the System is completely useless.
The only reliable feature is that it lets him meet heroes like Xu Zhu, Huang Shang, Dugu Qiubai, Wang Chongyang, and Yue Fei by sheer accident.
After the tragedy of his father being beaten to death by a tyrannical landowner, he takes revenge in a fit of rage and goes on the run.
They say it took him 24 years of fleeing to reach Jiangzhou and meet old Song. Do you know what those 24 years were like?
(He killed his father's murderer at 15, and didn't meet Song Jiang until he was 39.)
As time passes, Li Kui discovers that this world is actually a fusion of Water Margin and Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils... Wait, there's more?
What kind of movement technique is Wind Sprint? And what the heck is Shadowmourne?
After meeting old Song in Jiangzhou, the Water Margin storyline begins. Using his modern mindset, Li Kui reorganizes the forces of Liangshan.
During the amnesty, he nearly splits old Song in two with an axe. After that, he leads Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, and the other "anti-amnesty faction" away from Liangshan.
He takes his followers to fight across Shuzhou, establishing martial-world powers such as the Immortal Crane Sect, Qingyang Palace, and Guankou Court, while secretly supporting Yue Fei's resistance against the Jin.
At the Battle of Fengbo Pavilion in Lin'an Prefecture, he joins forces with legendary martial artists from the eras of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils and The Legend of the Condor Heroes to stage an epic rescue across time.
Even more terrifyingly, he runs into Xu Xian at Baohe Hall in Lin'an Prefecture...
