Cheng Daqi is a modern-day professional who finds himself transported into the body of a weak, failed young master of a declining mountain bandit stronghold. Surrounded by starving subordinates and facing threats from rival gangs and the imperial army, he must use his modern knowledge of management, technology, and military strategy to survive. Instead of just being a simple bandit, he begins to build a self-sufficient, technologically advanced fortress. This kingdom-building manhua is highly praised for its focus on infrastructure, economics, and the realistic progression of power, as a "bandit" eventually grows to challenge the very foundations of the empire.
