Zhang An, an overworked office drone from the 21st century, transmigrates to the late Han dynasty, in the Three Kingdoms era.
The good news is that he awakened a System. The bad news is that the System isn't his, and it's not even from this era.
System: Confess and plead guilty, cooperate in the investigation, and ask for leniency. Escaping the cage is the first step to success.
Zhang An: I confess and plead guilty.
Official: You are sentenced to immediate execution. The sentence will be carried out at noon tomorrow.
Zhang An was utterly baffled. This wasn't how it was supposed to go!
System: Apologize to your instructor and promise to be a well-behaved student.
Zhang An: I was wrong. I promise I won't do it again, and I'll be a good student.
Zhao Yun, sitting calmly at his desk: …
Zhang An spread his hands, as if to say, “For the sake of the mission, just put up with my nonsense for a bit.”
System: Because you're far away from each other, your childhood sweetheart wants to break up with you. Try to save the relationship.
Zhang An: Say you're wrong and shouldn't have broken up with me.
Zheng Chang, who had traveled a thousand miles to reunite with her beloved, was completely bewildered. Still, she lowered her head and said, “I was wrong. My family shouldn't have called off our engagement just because you were down on your luck.”
Zhang An nodded with satisfaction. See? The mission was complete, and then some.
The System frantically issued missions in the 21st century, while Zhang An in the late Han dynasty, during the Three Kingdoms era, frantically completed them.
The System and Zhang An, talking at cross purposes, charged like a wild boar toward an unknown future.
Much later, Zhang An had become a CEO, the Han chancellor, married a beautiful, wealthy woman, and reached the pinnacle of life. He could only say helplessly to everyone:
“I really am not that kind of person. I was forced into all of this. You have to believe me!”
