No System in the Three Kingdoms

The book's real title is The Song of Hao Li.

This is historical fan fiction, not cultivation and not a power fantasy. Not a power fantasy. It's a regular novel with a leisurely pace, and it may appeal to a somewhat niche audience.

The story is set in the Three Kingdoms era. There is no transmigration, no golden finger, no System, no farming, and no modern ideas. It sticks close to reality. No famous general will come and pledge allegiance to the protagonist. They all have their own ambitions, ideals, loyalty, and righteousness. They won't join him just because he makes a few grand speeches, and they certainly won't submit to him just because he has an advantage. That simply won't happen. Not at all. The protagonist has a very, very, very hard time throughout.

He's not some shining paragon of virtue. There's nothing heroic or larger-than-life about him. He's not very capable, but he's not an idiot either; he's just an ordinary person. So if this isn't to your taste, don't blame yourself. Blame me.
