The Rogue Hero Roams the Martial World

Even a streetwise nobody can stir up the martial world, and a rogue can become a hero!

Lin Xiaoxia, a young servant scraping by in a gambling den in Yuzhou City, never dreamed he would one day become a “mass murderer” with a bounty of ten thousand taels on his head. After stumbling upon a secret deal between the prefect’s son and the Black Tiger Gang, he is framed and hunted across the city overnight. Even his trusted childhood sweetheart betrays him!

Driven into a desperate corner, he falls into a forbidden Beggars’ Sect hideout and unexpectedly obtains the mysterious movement art of the previous dynasty, Phantom Step. From then on, this street urchin, with his Sichuan-Chongqing accent, love of money and women, and sly, lazy ways, but an unshakable moral line, is forced into the treacherous martial world.

From the misty romance of the Qinhuai River in Jinling to the eerie poison arts of the Miao borderlands; from the clashing armies of the northern frontier to the shocking intrigues deep within the imperial city, he repeatedly turns the tables in impossible situations with his silver tongue, courage, and streetwise cunning.

He wins over beauties from distant lands, befriends heroes across the realm, wreaks havoc at the martial arts tournament, thrashes Japanese invaders, and even dares to play tricks right in front of the emperor!

But as he fights his way to the top, he gradually discovers that everything he has endured is connected to a vast conspiracy to overthrow the realm. And the mastermind behind it all is someone close to him whom he never once suspected...

This is the rousing legend of an ordinary man who laughs and curses his way through one disaster after another, escapes every deadly predicament, and ultimately grows into an unconventional hero of his age! Tired of upright gentlemen? Try this oddball martial-world adventure. It’s sure to leave you thrilled and laughing out loud!
