Water Margin: I Rewrite Fate in a Chaotic Age

After transmigrating into Water Margin, Qiao Yun became a poor young man in Yanggu County who made a living selling pears. On his very first day, he saw a hero who was supposed to join Liangshan about to be beaten to death. And in his mind, a book had appeared: the Book of Destiny. [Wu Dalang: Dead in 23 days.] [Lin Chong: Family destroyed in 45 days.] [Lu Da: Will kill a man and become a fugitive within 30 days.] [Chao Gai: His fate will change dramatically within 60 days.] Qiao Yun suddenly understood something. He hadn't come to a completed version of Water Margin. He had come to a troubled age where everyone still had time to change their fate. Wu Dalang shouldn't die? Save him. Lin Chong shouldn't lose his family? Send a warning in advance. Lu Da is supposed to kill Zheng Tu with three punches? Then let Zheng Tu live long enough to settle his debts. And those who were destined to be driven to Liangshan... Wu Song, Lin Chong, Lu Da, Shi Jin, Meng Kang... There's no need to rush to Liangshan. I, Qiao Yun, will claim these people first. With no martial arts, he sells information. With no connections, he builds a network. With no soldiers, he starts by training twenty caravan guards. From a run-down courtyard to the Four Seas Trading House; from a handful of street informants to an intelligence network spanning Shandong; from finding carts and cargo for merchants to controlling trade routes, money, provisions, fleets, and heroes. Ximen Qing tries to crush him with money, so Qiao Yun swallows up his business. Gao Qiu tries to crush him with power, so Qiao Yun sends his informants into Dongjing. When Song Jiang sets out to gather the heroes of the realm, he suddenly discovers... Liangshan isn't even full yet, but Qiao Yun has already poached nearly all the ones who can really fight. As the storm before Jingkang draws near, Qiao Yun stands before the Four Seas he built with his own hands, and finally stops thinking only about saving a few people. "Since chaos is destined to engulf this realm..."
