Transmigrated as Yuan Ji, Heir to the Most Powerful Family in the Three Kingdoms

In the first year of Yongkang (167), Emperor Ling ascended the throne with the backing of Empress Dowager Dou, since Emperor Huan had no sons. Yet after Emperor Huan's militaristic policies, the Han Dynasty was already tottering on the brink of collapse.

From the perspective of later generations, Emperor Ling, who succeeded him, led an already crumbling Han Dynasty into the abyss. His life was marked by favoring treacherous officials, trusting eunuchs, selling official positions, and indulging in women.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out in the first year of Zhongping (184). Its leader, Zhang Jue, became the gravedigger of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Ling's decision to replace regional inspectors with provincial governors was the final straw that broke the empire.

Yuan Ji, a classical Chinese literature student from the twenty-first century, fell asleep during a course on the history of ancient Chinese literature, only to stumble into the chaotic Three Kingdoms era and transmigrate into the body of another Yuan Ji, who shared his name. Upon learning that he was the foremost heir of a family that had produced three generations of high-ranking officials, and the elder brother of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, he resolved to achieve unprecedented greatness.

Behold the final years of the Eastern Han, where heroes emerge in droves and talent abounds. I shall mend the heavens with my own hands. Crush the Yellow Turbans, unite the two Yuans, campaign against Dong Zhuo, conquer Lu Bu, execute Gongsun Zan, defeat Liu Biao, attack Sun Ce, subdue Cao Cao, strike down Liu Bei, bring Zhang Lu to heel, and claim Liu Zhang's territory: this is the story of my life spent on campaign.

Note: Most character backgrounds follow Records of the Three Kingdoms, with some details drawn from Romance of the Three Kingdoms and other historical sources. When different versions exist, the most exciting one wins. Some historical details are adjusted, such as making Yuan Ji younger and having Xi Zhicai live longer.
