Reborn as Lü Bu: Rise to Power in a Chaotic Age and Rewrite the Three Kingdoms
Wang Yu, a modern young man, is a die-hard Three Kingdoms fan who knows its history and characters inside and out. Excited to watch a newly released documentary that faithfully recreates the Three Kingdoms era, he stays up all night, eyes fixed on the screen so he won’t miss a single detail. But who could have guessed that his excitement and exhaustion would put too much strain on his heart? Suddenly, a sharp pain hits him. His vision goes dark, and he collapses onto the sofa, his life ending right there.
When Wang Yu regains consciousness, he finds himself in an unfamiliar military tent. The air is thick with the stench of blood and sweat, while the rough walls and sparse furnishings tell of a turbulent age. Before he can make sense of anything, a flood of memories that aren’t his own surges into his mind. He has actually transmigrated into Lü Bu of the Three Kingdoms period: the legendary warrior whose martial prowess was unmatched, but who met a tragic end because he was brave yet foolish and fickle.
From the start, he is caught in the most chaotic period of the late Eastern Han dynasty. The regional warlords eye one another warily, Dong Zhuo wreaks havoc at court, and the Han dynasty teeters on the brink of collapse. Wang Yu knows that surviving this troubled age means rewriting Lü Bu’s fate, and that will be no easy task. But drawing on his knowledge of Three Kingdoms history, he decides to first secure a foothold in Bingzhou and actively recruit talented people. He pays a sincere visit to Chen Gong and treats him with respect. Moved by his sincerity, Chen Gong agrees to come out of retirement and help him. Wang Yu then uses clever schemes to win over fierce generals such as Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, assembling an elite army.
With Cao Cao’s schemes, Liu Bei’s patience, and Sun Quan’s rise, what path will Lü Bu choose? Stay tuned!
