A lab explosion sends Chen Mo transmigrating into the world of Water Margin. When he opens his eyes, he has become Wu Dalang, the man who stands less than five feet tall, is mocked by everyone, and eventually dies a miserable death!
A hellish start? Not a chance! The Liangshan Business Empire System activates on cue, and his starter pack unlocks a perfect physique makeover, god-tier cooking skills, and a business radar. The short, ugly, poor nobody becomes a 187-centimeter hunk with sharp brows and bright eyes; his rough, humble flatbread becomes a bestselling delicacy; and a street vendor rises to become a business tycoon!
Faced with Pan Jinlian’s cold disdain, he breaks the ice with his cooking and his respect for her, turning their icy civility into a bond that endures life and death. He meets Xue Yong, a Liangshan hero fallen on hard times, and wins him over with kindness and loyalty, securing the foundation of his fighting force. He brings Yunge, Zhang Qing, and Sun Erniang into the fold, building a team of his own. Flatbread shops, tofu shops, teahouses, and herbal medicine stores spring up everywhere, raking in gold and sweeping across Yanggu!
But success draws trouble. His rise attracts Ximen Qing’s envy and suppression: he cuts off supplies, sends thugs to cause trouble, bribes officials to make things difficult, and even conspires with Gao Qiu’s cronies to wipe Chen Mo out for good!
“One chance in a billion to transmigrate, and now that I’m here, this Water Margin world is going to be mine to command!”
With the System at his side, Chen Mo uses modern business know-how to thrive in Song-era society. He protects those around him with force, outmaneuvers Ximen Qing and stands up to the powerful, recruits Liangshan heroes, and expands his business empire. He rewrites Wu Dalang’s miserable fate, rising from a flatbread peddler on the streets of Yanggu to build a business empire spanning Shandong, becoming the most legendary underdog success story in the world of Water Margin!
