He was once Wu Dalang, the three-foot runt everyone in Yanggu County mocked. He spent his days carrying baskets of steamed buns for sale, enduring contempt and abuse. Even his wife and child were seized by the powerful, and he lived like the lowliest speck of dust in the world.
Then, with a change of soul, the short, ugly bun seller of old stopped bowing his head and accepting his fate.
He joins Liangshan's brotherhood and stirs the tides with his wit. He leads iron cavalry to conquer city after city, crushing injustice with an iron fist. From a humble street vendor to a ruthless warlord, he hacks his way through every obstacle and ultimately ascends the throne of Bianliang.
When a battered bun basket meets the imperial dragon robe, when a lowly commoner sets his sights on a vast realm,
Beyond the 108 heroes of Water Margin, the 109th hero builds his own glorious empire from the humble steamed bun!
Watch as the three-foot runt defies fate, rises from the dust, claims the throne, and writes the most unorthodox legend of an emperor's rise!
