Three Kingdoms: Last on the Golden Rankings, Driven Away by Dong Zhuo from the Start

Xia Chen transmigrates to the late Han dynasty, during the Three Kingdoms era, just as Dong Zhuo is rising to power.

With the situation across the land still uncertain and no destination in mind, Xia Chen settles in under Dong Zhuo as a strategist.

Then one day, a Golden Rankings List suddenly appears between heaven and earth, listing the era's foremost strategists.

To Xia Chen's great honor, his name appears in last place on the list.

Dong Zhuo flies into a rage, declares that he won't keep useless people on his staff, and unceremoniously throws Xia Chen out.

Xia Chen remains unfazed. With a few deft moves, he saves Cao Cao at Bianshui, just as Cao Cao is about to die at the hands of Xu Rong.

Deeply grateful, Cao Cao appoints him chief strategist.

From then on, they seize Yan Province, conquer Xu Province, take Ji Province, and capture Jing Province...

Cao Cao's power grows relentlessly, as if he had cheats enabled!

As Dong Zhuo lies dying, he looks up at the sky and laments, "The Golden Rankings List ruined me!"
