Wu Tou is an ordinary modern office worker and homebody, a hardcore gamer familiar with Three Kingdoms history memes and internet culture. Lazy, cowardly, stingy, and always talking nonsense, he nevertheless has principles and a bit of cunning when it matters. By accident, he is reborn and transmigrates to the early years of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han dynasty. He is determined to lie low and grow stronger, using underhanded tactics, but one twist of fate after another pulls him into major events, turning him into a behind-the-scenes mover or a troublemaker.
