Wei Xiaobao Transmigrates as Ximen Qing

New book: Black Myth: Starting as the Destined One.

Wei Xiaobao, the greatest smooth talker under heaven from The Deer and the Cauldron, wakes up one day to find that he has transmigrated into the body of Ximen Qing from Water Margin.

It is the Northern Song Dynasty, during Emperor Huizong’s reign, seven years before the Jingkang Incident. The court is corrupt, embezzlement is rampant, and officials are so rotten that the people are driven to revolt.

He had planned to keep his head down and enjoy a carefree life, but a corrupt official tries to extort him.

“Damn it! You dare mess with me, Wei Xiaobao? Looks like it’s time I whipped the Song Dynasty into shape!”

Wei Xiaobao, a master at seeing through people and wielding political power, sets out once more to make a game of the world.

He recruits the heroes of Liangshan, wins the hearts of beautiful women, takes on the treacherous ministers at court, prevents the Jingkang Incident, destroys the Jin, swallows Western Xia, pacifies Tubo, conquers the Western Regions, and annexes Japan…

Before he knows it, he has reached the very pinnacle of power in the Song Dynasty. Gazing up at the sky, he sighs:

“Xuanzi, damn it! You’ve been emperor before. Now it’s my turn to enjoy myself!”

“What would you think if you saw your ancestors kneeling at my feet and kowtowing?”

“And what would you think if you saw that the lands I conquered were more vast than those you ruled?”

An alternate-history fantasy. History buffs, please don’t scrutinize the details!
