An ordinary modern man unexpectedly transmigrates into Water Margin as Wu Dalang, who is about to be poisoned. After awakening the Comeback System, he breaks free of the original character’s cowardly, helpless fate. Meanwhile, Ximen Qing, who was brutally killed in his previous life by the reincarnated Wu Song, is reborn with his memories intact and awakens a Martial Arts Cultivation System. The two instantly understand each other and form an alliance of revenge, vowing to make the despicable, greedy villain who stole Wu Song’s body pay for the blood debt.
The reincarnated Wu Song takes over Wu Song’s naturally gifted body and awakens the Conquest and Domination System. He covets Pan Jinlian’s beauty and schemes to seize opportunities and rule the world, unaware that the two men, reborn with their memories, already know all his plots and the paths to the opportunities he seeks. Wu Dalang and Ximen Qing proceed cautiously. First, they thwart Wu Song’s poisoning plot in Qinghe County, ruining his reputation and leaving him nowhere to go. Then they enter the martial world, repeatedly beating Wu Song to secret realm opportunities, martial arts manuals, and System rewards. They join forces with righteous heroes, punish villains and bandits, and make Wu Dalang’s reputation for chivalry known throughout the land. He also encounters the four great beauties Diao Chan, Xi Shi, Wang Zhaojun, and Yang Yuhuan, who arrive through tears in time and space. Each is gifted in a different way, with intelligence, medical skills, strategy, or leadership, and they devote themselves to helping him, becoming his capable allies.
The reincarnated Wu Song loses every opportunity and fails one System mission after another, growing ever more deranged. He slaughters innocents, allies with demonic forces, and seeks the support of the corrupt minister Cai Jing, helping the wicked and persecuting the people, yet Wu Dalang keeps him in check. Again and again, he is reduced to a fugitive with nowhere to turn. In the end, his System completely collapses. As punishment, all his cultivation is stripped away, leaving him an ordinary man. Wu Dalang, meanwhile, rises from a street vendor selling baked cakes into the leader of the martial world’s righteous alliance. Together with upright officials, he brings down corrupt ministers, eradicates demonic forces, and pacifies the chaos at the end of the Northern Song. At last
