Lin Sen was a young man with a passion for the history of the Three Kingdoms. In today's high-cost world, he was like countless other ordinary people: talented, yet held back at every turn by a lack of connections and family background.
After graduating from university, Lin Sen joined a major automobile manufacturer. Thanks to his technical skills, he landed a job as an automotive engineer and seemed to have made it into middle management in the technical department. In truth, he was bitter to the core. His monthly salary of eight or nine thousand yuan was barely enough to cope with the pressures of life, and he also had to endure endless overtime. Staying up all night and working for dozens of hours straight was normal, while scoldings and abuse from his boss and superiors were part of everyday life.
Because of unreasonable deadlines and poor allocation of staff and resources, projects often failed to meet their milestones.
Once, when a client complained about a delayed delivery and demanded a penalty, the department manager pointed at Lin Sen and snapped, “Lin Sen, are you even capable of doing this job? The client is pushing so hard, and it's only a few assemblies, yet you're still half a month late!”
The resentment he'd kept bottled up for so long erupted in an instant. In front of the entire team, Lin Sen smashed his teacup and shouted back, “You treat us worse than beasts of burden! Do you have any idea how many nights we've worked straight? The capitalists exploit us, and you, as leaders, set the project deadlines too late and let procurement run over schedule. I pulled it together by working overtime, and you still say it's late? I'm done!”
Don't we always complain that we have no chance to fulfill our ambitions?
After resigning in a fit of anger, Lin Sen's fate changed dramatically. An accident transmigrated him to the chaotic final years of the Han dynasty. This perilous era gave him a stage on which to pursue his ambitions. Armed with his knowledge of history and modern ideas, he would make his way to the top in this age of chaos. How would he forge a legend amid the turmoil?

This is interesting. It's not one of those mindless wish-fulfillment stories with a cheat code; it's logical, and the plot flows smoothly from beginning to end. Keep it up, bro! 😆
