Three Kingdoms: The Journey of Zhao Wu, a Commoner

Transmigrating to the Three Kingdoms era through the eyes of an ordinary modern person, the protagonist struggles to survive. In the chaos at the end of the Han dynasty, how can a nobody use his limited knowledge of modern papermaking and winemaking to earn money, build up resources, turn small advantages into big ones, and gradually rise to prominence? By the later years, when the realm is divided into four, claiming one part of it is already no small feat.

Having read too many stories about transmigrated protagonists with golden fingers, I found their historical deviations far too great and their plots unreasonable. This book tries to show, from the perspective of an ordinary modern person, how a powerless commoner survives in the chaos at the end of the Han dynasty, amid natural and man-made disasters, a troubled court, a starving populace, and troubles both within and beyond the borders.

The story strives to portray the realities of historical warfare and the characters’ temperaments, while preserving major historical events and allusions as faithfully as possible.
