Xiang Yu, who had taken his own life by the Wu River, found his soul inside Lin Chong of Water Margin.
When he awoke at the fodder yard, he discovered that this chaotic world of Water Margin seemed a little different.
Chai Jin, a descendant of the Later Zhou imperial family, used the fortune in his possession to amass wealth and become the richest man in Henghai Commandery.
Zhang Shun, the White Stripe in the Waves, used his fortune to strengthen his body, allowing him to breathe as easily underwater as on land.
Dai Zong, the Divine Traveler, used his fortune to empower talismans, traveling eight hundred li in a single day.
Gongsun Sheng, the Dragon in the Clouds, used his fortune to cast spells and command the thunder and lightning of the five directions.
It was not only a world where heroes gathered to form sworn brotherhoods. Mountain spirits and monsters also ran amok.
Python and sparrow devour the dragon; all things seize its fortune!
Monsters devour people, and corrupt officials are even worse!
The common folk suffer amid misery, treated as less than human!
The Celestial Masters of Mount Longhu summoned the 108 banners and tablets to the capital, where they held a grand ritual to suppress the evil spirits throughout the land.
At Liangshan Marsh, the Hegemon-King of Chu gathered 108 heroes into a sworn brotherhood, killing corrupt officials and wicked ministers to rescue the people from misery.
Mountain spirits, monsters, and evil forces seized the fortune of the 108 and made it their own, devouring flesh, blood, bones, and souls in a mad attempt to defy fate and remake the world.
And the Hegemon-King of Western Chu gathered the dragon fortune of the former dynasty and the python-and-sparrow fortune of a chaotic age within himself, cutting down demons and monsters with his sword and personally executing bandits and evil officials.
The heroes all praised him as a true Hegemon-King, but the imperial court cursed him as a wretched brat!
But now that Xiang Yu has been given another life, how could he repeat his past mistakes?
He studied the histories from cover to cover and examined himself from the shoulders of the sages of every age.
He won over the 108 heroes and led them to storm cities and conquer strongholds, while the people welcomed them with food and drink.
He slays monsters, subdues demons, and eradicates evil spirits. Who could deny that he is the true Hegemon-King?
Overthrow the Song, conquer the Liao, destroy the Xia, pacify Tibet, reclaim Dali, subdue the Uyghurs, and march on Goryeo!
