In this world, when it comes to supernatural powers, the first one that comes to mind is the flower-wielding monk Lu Zhishen, who can uproot a willow tree with ease. If he didn't possess the strength of a thousand catties in each arm, how could he move trees?" "You are ignorant. Have you not heard of Li Kui, the Little Overlord, who lifted thousands of catties of city gates in Beijing and successfully escaped from the four-way ambush? How could he be compared to an ordinary mortal?" "Even if Li Kui has the greatest supernatural power, when it comes to loyalty and righteousness, it must be Song Jiang from Yuncheng. He has always been generous and selfless, always ready to help others in times of difficulty. People call him the Timely Rain. When he became famous, Li Kui hadn't even been born yet, haha." "No way, Song Jiang's loyalty is limited, how can he compare to Li Kui? Not only does Li Kui have no equal in friendship with the martial world, but even the people of Beijing remember his kindness. He is the true savior of thousands of families and someone who is righteous to the heavens. When it comes to the first place, there is no doubt that it belongs to Li Kui."

He inherited a position without succession, yet he is not of royal blood; he comes from a prestigious family, yet he is not from a noble lineage. As one of the heads of the Six Doors, he initially intended to dutifully pass down the iron rice bowl handed down by his ancestors through generations. However, he never expected to be deceived by a charlatan and lose his little world. From that moment on, a formidable figure emerged. He proclaimed himself as a selfless friend who would sacrifice himself for others, but wherever he went, he would always hide away those with virtuous wives and noble daughters, never daring to reveal them to the public. He claimed to have a pure and kind nature, but only to avoid serving under his superior, he amusingly used the excuse of "filial piety" to happily resign from his high-ranking position and return to his hometown. He declared himself a loyal subject, but because of him, the diligent Emperor Wanli no longer attended court early. Yang Ling is known as "Yang the Beheader" by the people, while Yang Fan is called "Plague Doctor", but he has even more nicknames to his name – "Mad Historian," "Ass-Carrying Official," "Night Emperor"...
