The Rise of Football, Starting with Village Super League

With the Chinese national team reduced to a laughingstock and its entire system rotten to the core, what path lies ahead for Zhuo Zhiyuan, a lowly civil servant who transmigrates to a parallel world where football is dead? He quits his secure government job and chooses to start from scratch! A village league where the prize is a single yellow ox sets the mountains ablaze with excitement. Here, there’s the “Mountain Ronaldo,” who plays barefoot, and the “Butcher Goalkeeper,” who built his arms slaughtering pigs. Here are the rawest passion and the purest dreams. After a drunken misunderstanding, top investor He Huiqi slaps a check for one hundred thousand yuan across the face of this penniless man. She thinks she’s investing in a joke, never realizing that she is opening the first chapter of a legend. When a down-to-earth dreamer meets an arrogant queen, and football dreams on the country lanes collide with the precise machinations of capital, a revolutionary football empire begins to take shape. He wants to build more than just a team. He wants to create an entirely new system: the people share ownership, communities thrive together, and money and power don’t get the final say! It’s an outright challenge to the old powers entrenched at the top. From country lanes to the World Cup, from having nothing to restoring the nation’s pride. With the most homespun squad, he’ll play the most rousing comeback and make the whole world cheer!
