Engineering the Three Kingdoms: Inventions That Changed an Age of Chaos

A middle-school underachiever transmigrates into the turbulent Three Kingdoms era. Knowing he has neither the ability nor the ambition to vie for dominion over the land, he only wants to stay home and devote himself to inventing, using the secret Mohist manual passed down through his family. Thanks to his many imaginative ideas, one new invention after another comes to life. Yet every time one of his creations is unveiled, it causes a sensation. From handy tools that make everyday life easier, to ingenious devices that boost agricultural efficiency, to sophisticated machines capable of changing the course of war, every faction clamors to get its hands on them. Amid the shifting tides of the Three Kingdoms, the protagonist finds himself courted by all sides, but remains neutral: whoever pays gets his inventions and plans for technological improvements. Along the way, he makes kindred spirits into close friends, finds sincere love, and comes to appreciate the warmth and preciousness of family. Faced with the allure of power, tangled interests, and the complexities of human relationships, can he stay true to his original intentions and use his inventions to advance ancient society, bringing a glimmer of hope to these troubled times?
