   Dong Chao, a modern-day office worker, wakes up to find himself a lowly clerk in Kaifeng Prefecture in the world of Water Margin, his time travel occurring on the eve of the Wild Boar Forest! How will he escape the fate of this "villainous servant" who was about to kill Lin Chong in the original story? Bound by a "Brotherhood System," he turns the tables, killing his colleagues and rescuing Lin Chong, thus embarking on a completely different path of brotherhood. He cleverly seizes Liangshan, reforms internal affairs, promotes modern technology, and his snowflake salt business flourishes. He befriends Chai Jin, recruits heroes like Lin Chong, Wu Song, and Lu Zhishen, and forges life-and-death friendships with top figures like Pang Wanchun, Du Xue, and Wang Yin, whose stories weren't fully explored in the original novel. He navigates the machinations of powerful figures like Gao Qiu and Cai Jing while simultaneously battling against forces like Song Jiang, Chao Gai, Fang La, and Wang Qing. Here, you'll find passionate brotherhood, intricately linked battles of wits, and a fierce clash between modern thinking and the chaos of ancient times. Witness how the protagonist rises from a lowly official to recruit talented individuals, reform the system, and, amidst the turbulent times of the late Northern Song Dynasty, raises a new banner of "acting on behalf of Heaven," ultimately conquering the world! A grand epic with vivid characters, blending political intrigue and passionate fervor, this is a revolutionary tale that will give you a fresh perspective on the struggles for supremacy among the heroes of the Water Margin!
