The Wei Palace of the Three Kingdoms

Chen Mo, a modern PhD in history, accidentally transmigrates to the late Eastern Han Dynasty in 175 CE, becoming a student at the Imperial Academy in Luoyang. Knowing that the Han dynasty is on the brink of collapse, he chooses to assist Cao Cao before he has made his name, hoping to find a different path for Chinese civilization through the chaos.

With knowledge far ahead of its time, he becomes the Cao Cao faction's most far-sighted strategist: reforming public security in Luoyang, pioneering the tuntian farming system, building an intelligence network, and laying the groundwork for victory at the Battle of Guandu. Yet the clash between modern ideals and ancient realities is everywhere: notions of equality collide with a rigid hierarchy, while blueprints for reform are eroded by personal relationships and worldly complications.

Through his deep bond with strategists like Xun Yu and Guo Jia, and his complex relationship with Cao Cao, which shifts from mutual admiration to subtle checks and balances, Chen Mo quietly nudges history onto a new course. This is not merely a story of helping an ambitious warlord conquer the realm, but also of how an idealist puts his principles into practice amid chaos, planting the seeds of civilization deep in the cracks of his age and achieving a legacy that will endure for millennia.

Whether I am praised or condemned, history will judge. He helped shape an era and reshaped the course of the future.
