The protagonist, Leng Jun, was born into a family of local gentry in the 1930s and left university without graduating.
He has ten little golden cudgels forged by the Old Lord of Heaven, making him unbeatable in a fight. He also picks up any skill at a glance. His body can take a beating, and even after being beaten to death, he can come back to life with a breath through his nose and mouth.
For more than twenty years after attending university, he traveled through cities and villages, missing none of the era's various movements. Compassionate at heart and fearless in his mischief, he dares to take on the wicked. Like a cat with nine lives, he survives disaster after disaster.
His several female confidantes all play the part of beauties rescuing heroes. The two wildest ones: one joins him in a mythical mission, while the other continues the story of his fate after his death. Will he really bend to her will?
This novel masterfully and artistically distills twenty years of real history. Traveling through it with this book is worth reading ten thousand books.
