This story follows Liu Qi, a modern historian who transmigrates to the end of the Eastern Han dynasty and becomes a fifteen-year-old descendant of Emperor Wu of Han. In 191, he flees danger and enters Shu. At a treacherous stretch of the Yangtze, his foresight and discernment win over Gan Ning, the “Pirate of the Brocade Sails,” and secure him his first valiant general. From then on, wielding both his status as a member of the imperial clan and the broad perspective of a transmigrator, he deftly builds connections and secretly gathers strength amid the undercurrents of Liu Yan’s rule in Yizhou. In this game of power during a time of chaos, he vows to seize the initiative and lay the plans for his own hegemony.
The author has a solid literary foundation, but it is a pity that there is no further text. 🤦🤦🤦
