Synopsis

After transmigrating, Lin Yun finds himself at the Cao residence, where he becomes the attendant of Cao Chong, Cao Cao's youngest son.

The laid-back Lin Yun originally just wanted to cling to Cao Chong and keep his head down amid the chaos and warfare of the late Han dynasty.

But things don't go as planned. Lin Yun, who only wanted to quietly keep his head down and blend into the background, gradually becomes the foremost strategist of Wei!

He outwits Zhuge Liang at Red Cliffs, crushes Sun Quan's forces at Hefei, matches wits with Sima Yi, and conquers Hanzhong.

On his deathbed, Guo Jia said to Cao Cao, "After I die, if Lin Qianyuan refuses to submit, you must kill him. You cannot let him serve anyone else!"

On his deathbed, Cao Cao warned his son, "If I die, you must have Lin Qianyuan and Sima Zhongda keep each other in check. That's how a ruler maintains a balance of power!"

Liu Bei: "Sleeping Dragon? Young Phoenix? Neither compares to a mere attendant at the Cao residence!?"

Lin Yun: "I only wanted to keep my head down!?"
