My Father Is Song Jiang, the Timely Rain

Song Chengsi transmigrates.

He becomes Song Jiang's only son.

The good news: his father has connections throughout the martial world, and half the outlaws owe him favors.

The bad news: his father will one day lead 108 sworn brothers to accept amnesty, and every last one of them will die.

The worse news: he can't fight and has no strength at all. Throw a rock, and he might hit his own foot.

His only asset is a complete copy of Water Margin in his head.

He knows Lin Chong will be driven to the brink, Wu Song will lose an arm, and Lu Zhishen will pass away in meditation. He knows that the mightiest men under heaven will march one by one toward their written deaths.

He can't bear to watch them die.

But what can he do to stop it?

Yell “The constables are coming!” to scare off thugs? Throw rocks at trees to help someone get away? Put his small, two-bowls-of-rice-a-day body in front of a blade?

All he can do is learn where disaster will strike before anyone else, then risk his life getting the warning to the people who need it.

A coward to the core, yet he remembers how every hero will die.

A band of heroes destined for death, yet they happen to meet a coward who refuses to let them die.

He changes Lin Chong's fate, saves Wu Song's path, averts Lu Zhishen's calamity, and foils Gao Qiu's schemes.

He gathers heroes, builds up his resources, takes on the imperial court, and stands against the Jin army.

From a good-for-nothing who doesn't dare walk alone at night, he takes one step at a time until he reaches the seat of the man who acts on Heaven's behalf.

The lives of Liangshan's 108 heroes: he'll snatch them back from the King of Hell, one by one.
