I woke up as Gao Qiu, the infamous, utterly disgraced villain from Water Margin!
A hellish start? No, this is my golden opportunity from the start!
Soccer? One display of modern soccer skills is enough to win over the cultured Emperor Huizong of Song and earn his favor!
Making money? Glass mirrors, a royal bank, maritime trade... I’ll use modern business sense to unlock the Song Dynasty’s wealth!
Training troops? Scientific drills, strict discipline, and gunpowder that outclasses the enemy! Watch the elite army I build crush the so-called “800,000 imperial troops”!
Court politics? Cai Jing and Tong Guan? They’re nothing but dead bones in their graves! I come from the information age, so I can outthink these old fossils at every turn!
The Jin cavalry are fearsome? Fang La and Song Jiang are in rebellion? Just watch me:
Recruit the Liangshan outlaws and turn them into special forces behind enemy lines, perfect for dealing with Jin spies!
Submit a map for a northern campaign, then use a “watch the fire from across the river” ploy in the Jin heartland and reap the rewards!
Hold up the crumbling sky! When Jin troops surround Bianjing, I’ll turn the tide as the “savior chancellor”!
Too much power for one man? The emperor grows suspicious? I won’t seize the throne, yet I’ll become the uncrowned king of this glorious Song Dynasty!
This is the exhilarating tale of a man who transmigrates as history’s most unfairly blamed scapegoat, then uses modern knowledge to defy fate. He plays the part of a treacherous minister while saving the country in practice.
Watch me turn the worst possible starting point into the best possible ending and personally shore up the heavens over the Song Dynasty!
