The Great Thief Rules the Nation

Wang Yu transmigrates to Jinzhou in the forty-seventh year of the Wanli reign. In this land of war and chaos, only three kinds of people can get by: soldiers, bandits, and traitors. To survive, Wang Yu chooses to become a bandit, but he soon realizes that bandits and soldiers are really no different. One group has a license, and the other doesn't. During his years roaming the Liaodong coast, he meets several good brothers: Mao Chenglu, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi.

Where there are people, there are rivalries. The age-old principle that stealing a hook gets you executed while stealing a kingdom makes you a lord has never changed.
