Helping Yuan Shu Contend for Supremacy in the Three Kingdoms

Chu Ming, a modern historian, transmigrates unexpectedly to the end of the Eastern Han dynasty, where he becomes a poor scholar in Nanyang. Drawing on his deep knowledge of the Three Kingdoms and modern science, he quickly makes a name for himself amid the chaos. While heroes from every corner recruit talented people, Chu Ming chooses a very different path: he decides to serve Yuan Shu, the man later dismissed as “a rotting skeleton in his tomb.”

“Since I’ve transmigrated, why not take on the hardest difficulty?” Looking at the fragment of the Huainanzi in his hands, Chu Ming resolves to rewrite the fate of this lord, a descendant of four generations of high ministers who ultimately met his downfall.

He uses modern meteorological knowledge to predict droughts and floods, and improves farming tools to increase Huainan’s grain output.

He redesigns Han weapons, creating a heavy infantry force that even Cao Cao’s Tiger and Leopard Cavalry fears.

He applies modern management principles to reform the corrupt bureaucracy of Yuan Shu’s faction.

And with strategic insight far ahead of his time, he charts a path for Yuan Shu to claim the empire.

Yet history’s momentum is far stronger than he imagined. When Chu Ming tries to change the course of the “Imperial Seal Incident,” devises a brilliant scheme ahead of the Battle of Shouchun, and strives to prevent Yuan Shu’s fatal mistake of proclaiming himself emperor, he discovers that standing alone against the tide of an entire era is far harder than he ever imagined…
