Shen Yan, a modern top-tier star and movie emperor, is electrocuted on set and transmigrates into the Northern Song era, becoming Song Jiang, who is about to be executed.
Imprisoned on death row with his life hanging by a thread, he uses his movie-star-level powers of persuasion to convince Li Kui to storm the execution ground and win Dai Zong's loyalty.
When he reaches Liangshan, he is pushed aside. Chao Gai keeps him in check, his sworn brothers don't trust him, and he is left with no support.
He uses modern thinking to break the deadlock, taking intelligence-gathering as his first step before capturing Zhu Family Manor and making a name for himself in his first battle.
He shares the spoils with the rank-and-file to win their hearts, brings Lin Chong and Wu Song to his side, and lays the groundwork for a change in leadership.
From prisoner to leader, he breaks free of the fate of submitting to the court and sets in motion a campaign to carve out new territory at the expense of the Song dynasty.
