Power struggles + conquest + expansion + no golden finger
Chao Chong transmigrates to Liangshan and becomes the son of a stronghold leader. Before he can even get used to his new identity, he’s faced with a bowl of poison.
Everyone who knows Chao Chong thinks he’s still the same timid nobody he used to be.
No one knows that his body now houses the soul of a modern man.
Because of that bowl of medicine, Chao Chong exposes the mastermind and uncovers a shocking case.
Before long, he has secured the position of stronghold leader.
Everyone thinks Chao Chong is seeking to build up his power just to fight the imperial court.
But Chao Chong has already foreseen the shame of Jingkang and the fall of the realm.
When everyone thinks he wants to don the imperial robes and become emperor, he says:
“China may be a fine place, but it can’t contain my ambitions.”
“Become emperor? That’s thinking too small. I’m going to make ten or eight emperors.”
Too blunt. Leave a mark.
