Three Kingdoms: I Created the Golden Ranking, and Guo Jia Exposed It

Xu Zhen transmigrates to the end of the Han dynasty, when the realm is in chaos and rebellions are being put down everywhere. Knowing what lies ahead, he settles near Xuxian in Yingchuan ahead of time, planning to withdraw into the mountains and live out a peaceful, uneventful life, lying flat as a handsome man.

Now and then, he chats with the reclusive scholars next door about the state of the realm and offers his opinions on its notable figures.

Before long, the figures they discuss keep growing in number, until their conversations turn into all kinds of rankings.

Old Guo: "Bowen, where would you rank Guo Jia?"

Xu Zhen: "Top three in strategy, top twenty in administration, second in romance. He can be called a master of hidden stratagems."

A woman on the run: "Why isn't Diao Chan at the top of the Beauty Rankings?"

Xu Zhen: "Because Diao Chan is on the waist."

Old Cao the wine seller: "Why isn't Chancellor Cao number one on the Mandate of Heaven Ranking?"

Xu Zhen: "Even four horses couldn't eat all of Cao! The Han people's hearts are hard to win over."

Years later, the rankings spread among the warlords and scholars, gradually becoming revered as the Golden Rankings. Everyone takes pride in making the list.

Xu Zhen: "Guo **! You exposed me?"
