A New Tale of Water Margin: The Silver-Spear Hero

After transmigrating to the Northern Song, Shen Rui starts out as a down-and-out nobody in Weizhou. In this age of corrupt officials and neglected defenses, he only wants to make money in trade and become a carefree merchant-errant. But the world refuses to leave him in peace! The villainous Gao Qiu seizes the enterprise he spent eight years building, then threatens him with a charge of treason!

If the world won’t let him live in peace, then he’ll flip the whole table! But he won’t follow Liangshan’s old path of accepting an imperial pardon. Instead, he takes in heroes driven to rebellion by the court and betrayed by Liangshan. He protects the family of Lin Chong, the Leopard Head; guides Wu Song, the Tiger-Slaying Hero, toward a new future; and helps Zhu Wu, the Divine Strategist, realize his ambitions!

Shi Wengong, Wang Yin, Shi Bao, Bian Xiang... These fierce generals and brilliant talents, who should have met their ends, all join his ranks. He establishes rules and builds an army at Qingshan Mountain, grows rich enough to rival the empire through trade, and commands such fear on the battlefield that his name shakes the land. Before he knows it, the court has named him one of the Five Great Bandits!

While Song Jiang is still thinking about accepting an imperial pardon, Shen Rui has set his sights on the whole realm. When the Jurchen cavalry tramples Bianjing, his banners have already become a bulwark in the north. He recruits Yue Fei, resists the Jurchen invaders, retakes Han lands, and pacifies the south!

What the Song emperor can’t do, he’ll do himself! The dream that the Liangshan heroes never dared to imagine, he’ll make real! Watch as this mere “bandit chief” gathers the brightest talents amid the chaos of Water Margin, reshapes the world, and fights his way to a glorious Great Ming, more powerful than the Han and Tang dynasties!
