Three Kingdoms: My Reborn System

The cramped cell reeked of filth and damp. Behind the sturdy iron bars sat Wei Zheng, a prisoner about to be executed by slicing.

Wei Zheng lowered his eyes and let the man before him ramble on.

The speaker had a face full of beard and bulging flesh, and was ** with his upper body bare. His words and manner were utterly coarse. He was the one assigned to execute Wei Zheng.

He had come for no other reason than to demand a little money or some other favor.

Wei Zheng almost wanted to laugh. The scene before him perfectly confirmed a line of classical prose he had once read somewhere:

Those who obey me, I first pierce through the heart. Those who defy me, I sever every limb, yet the heart still does not die.

When he first read those words, he had taken them as a joke. But times had changed, and he never imagined that one day he would become the protagonist of that old text.
