Synopsis

His soul travels to the Three Kingdoms era, where he becomes Xiahou Qing, eldest son of Xiahou Yuan and the Cao family’s designated son-in-law from the start.

But his unruly nature and refusal to obey orders lead his father to send him to train with Cao Cao’s army.

Xiahou Dun: “If your father can’t discipline you, I’ll beat you into shape!”

Though Xiahou Qing is a pampered young lord who can barely lift a weapon, he unexpectedly awakens a heaven-defying comprehension System: he only has to watch something once to master it, and learn something once to understand it.

Xiahou Dun: “I’ve practiced saber techniques for thirty years, and you learned them in three hours? What am I supposed to do with my pride?”

Xiahou Qing: “Don’t get me wrong. I learned them in half an hour. I spent the other two and a half hours drinking and eating meat.”

To toughen Xiahou Qing up, Cao Cao sends him to feed the pigs.

As it turns out, the old man tending the pigs is none other than Li Yan, the greatest halberd master alive. Xiahou Qing goes on to master peerless halberd techniques.

Yet Xiahou Qing, whose prowess is unmatched, starts living the life of a layabout in Cao Cao’s camp.

Sipping tea, drinking wine, and occasionally grilling a chicken.

Xu Chu: “He says he’s no good at fighting, but one punch left me paralyzed for five days. Whenever there’s trouble, he makes me go first!”

Dian Wei: “I can’t beat him, but why does he always ride me into battle against Lü Bu?”

Xiahou Qing: “If my father-in-law hadn’t insisted on foisting Diao Chan on me, I wouldn’t have wanted to ride you into battle against Lü Bu!”

Lü Bu: “The imperial son-in-law and I each have our own way of doing things. He calls me father-in-law, and I call him godfather!”

Diao Chan, Lü Lingqi, Madam Zou, Zhen Mi, the Da and Xiao Qiao sisters, Sun Shangxiang, and the others all share the same opinion of Xiahou Qing.

“Whether he’s out in the world or at home, all our husband wants is to lie flat!”
