Wang Yu, a newly graduated liberal arts student, hits one dead end after another in his job search. By chance, he gains access to a portal that lets him travel between the modern world, the 2008 martial arts world, and Ming Dynasty China from The Smiling, Proud Wanderer. He makes a fortune by bringing online novels to the real world, joins Wudang to train in Tai Chi, and masters both external and internal power. Traveling back to Ming China, he earns a fortune trading ginseng and pepper, then finds the Evil-Resisting Sword Manual and studies the principles behind its inner cultivation. He teams up with Huo Ling'er and Lin Wanyu to start a business, traveling between several martial worlds. As he builds resources through business and improves his martial arts, he steadily advances toward the pinnacle of the martial path.
