Overwork champion Lin Xiaohua collapses after working overtime for seventy-two hours straight. When he opens his eyes again, he has become Shi Wenbin, magistrate of Yun City in the world of Water Margin.
From the start, it is hell mode: corrupt officials rule, outlaws run rampant, and he is just a background character in the original story. He has no soldiers or money, only a string of petty lawsuits to deal with.
On the verge of tears, he touches his face. Huh? This handsome, refined face, said to rival Pan An’s, is the “one and only perk” that came with his transmigration?
A modern office worker’s comeback starts with a chicken!
When a peddler and a butcher get red in the face arguing over an old hen, everyone expects the new magistrate to smooth things over.
Instead, Lin Xiaohua slams his gavel and says, “Kill the chicken and examine its crop!”
The whole room is stunned. The butcher goes weak at the knees.
Armed with a modern mindset and workplace survival skills, he starts “outworking” everyone in the Northern Song bureaucracy:
· Solving cases? He uses investigative techniques that leave the old methods in the dust.
· Managing people? He brings in KPI performance reviews.
· Facing the imminent arrival of Song Jiang, Chao Gai, Wu Yong, and the rest... he smiles faintly.
“Sorry, but I’m the one running this Water Margin now.”
And that peerlessly handsome face of his gradually becomes the weapon he least expected...
“Working for a living is out of the question. In this life, I can only stay here and be a handsome magistrate.”
Shi Wenbin (Lin Xiaohua), newly appointed overwork champion of Yun City, so says.
