Water Margin: Rebuilding the Realm, Starting from a Tavern

From tavern keeper to master of the realm!

Transmigrating into the world of Water Margin as a nobody, Shen Du draws on his culinary skills from a past life to open a shabby tavern below Mount Shaohua.

One serving of red-braised pork fills the whole street with its aroma, and a pot of distilled liquor draws heroes from every direction.

Shi Jin makes him his big brother, Wang Jin teaches him real martial arts, and Lu Zhishen drinks with him until dawn.

As the tavern grows bigger and bigger, he realizes:

In this chaotic age, hoping to make money in peace? Dream on.

During a severe drought, he spends his entire fortune setting up a free porridge kitchen. Overnight, his name as a modern-day Mengchang spreads throughout the martial world.

Heroes join him, the people rally to his side, and his territory keeps expanding.

In the end, he stands atop the imperial city, looking out over thousands of li of mountains and rivers.

All I really wanted was to build a haven for the people.
