From Rickshaw Puller to a Generation's Overlord

Lin Ci, a young man from the modern era, transmigrates to Republican-era China and takes over the body of a rickshaw puller. While sheltering from the rain in a ruined temple, he unexpectedly acquires a Keyword System, which brings him deadly trouble. As he endures brutal pursuit and escape, the Keyword System grants him different abilities when he’s at his lowest. From “Fleet-Footed” to “Strong Enough to Lift a Cauldron,” from “Silver-Tongued” to “Unforgettable Memory,” he gradually rises from a lowly rickshaw puller to a powerful warlord amid the chaos.

Having suffered himself, he understands the misery of the poor. He uses his abilities to organize a group of destitute laborers, struggling fiercely and fighting without yielding in a dark world where the Green Gang, the Axe Gang, foreign concession police, and Japanese agents are all entangled. In the end, he manages to survive and grow stronger in the cracks between these forces. Later, under the guidance of Su Wanqing, a progressive young woman, he takes the revolutionary path.

Under the organization’s direction, he joins the struggle to stop Japanese spies from stealing a meteorite. There, he discovers and unravels the shocking secret of the myriad heavens’ cycle of reincarnation hidden behind the Keyword System, and exposes the true purpose behind the Japanese spies’ frenzied attempt to seize it. This sets off a series of battles of attack and defense, ruthless killings, and life-or-death contests.
