Wang Man, a college student, is ordinary and confused in modern life. He has no interest in learning and only loves the history of the Three Kingdoms. Because of the mysterious Three Kingdoms heirloom dagger in his family, Wang Yi accidentally traveled to the Three Kingdoms period.
When he first arrived in the wilderness, he struggled to survive and met the generous Zhang Yi. Later, he was rescued by the villagers, but encountered the bully Huang San. Wang Man stepped forward to rescue the beautiful Li Shuyao, and thus offended the local wealthy Yuan family. The Yuan family designed to frame Wang Man and forced him to embark on the road to escape. While on the run, Wang Man met a group of righteous men, worked together to formulate a revenge plan, and secretly investigated evidence of collusion between the Yuan family and the enemy.
Wang Man accidentally met the down-and-out general Gongsun Zan. He used modern knowledge to boost morale and carry out military reforms. After winning the first battle, he became famous and attracted the attention of princes from all sides. He continued his revenge and successfully defeated the Yuan family, but was involved in the Xianbei invasion and the disputes between the princes of the Three Kingdoms.
Wang Man continued to explore the truth about his time travel while dealing with various forces. He joined Cao Cao's camp and showed extraordinary talents, but he also faced the test of love and the jealousy of the princes. After Li Shuyao was kidnapped, Wang Man organized a rescue operation and successfully broke out after going through hardships and dangers.
Eventually, Wang Man participated in many historical events, such as the Battle of Red Cliff. After a long struggle, he solved the mystery of time travel, achieved revenge, and achieved great success.
