Others Transmigrate to Build Careers, but A Dou Transmigrates Just to Stir Up Trouble

Liu Du, a school dropout who somehow slipped through nine years of compulsory education, transmigrates into Liu Shan, the ruler of Shu Han, better known as Adou. He plans to use modern knowledge to build planes and cannons, then conquer the Three Kingdoms with overwhelming technological superiority. But he soon discovers, to his dismay, that his knowledge of math and science is too limited to give him that kind of edge.

With no other choice, Liu Du takes a different tack, deciding to carve out a place for himself in these troubled times through “unconventional tactics.” He uses ingenious ideas to resolve the turmoil sparked by Meng Huo’s death and the thorny crisis over warhorses. When controversy erupts over the secret route through Ziwu Valley, and Cao Pi’s campaign against Wu throws the political landscape into flux, Liu Du draws on his unique perspective and strategic skill to deftly maneuver among the various factions.

Along the way, he overturns the stereotype that Adou is beyond help. Armed with the wit and courage of an ordinary person, he holds his own among strategists like Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, steadily making a name for himself. With exceptional people skills and flexible tactics, he forges a unique path through the turbulent later years of the Three Kingdoms, gradually turning the tide and moving toward his goal of ruling the realm, breathing fresh life and unexpected excitement into this familiar history.
