Three Kingdoms: I'm Just a Swindler, What Could I Possibly Do Wrong?

The late Eastern Han dynasty: with the Three Kingdoms era on the horizon, what should one do? Fight on the battlefield? No, no, far too dangerous. Pit wits against others? No, no, I still need my hair. Chen Shuo chooses to cultivate immortality! Because he has the Heavenly Book! The Heavenly Book requires the Mandate of Heaven for cultivation, and the Mandate currently rests with the Han. He travels all the way to Luoyang, only for Emperor Ling of Han to kick the bucket! The Mandate collapses, scattering across the land... “Damn it!” Chen Shuo becomes a charlatan and gathers the Mandate of Heaven.
