Three Kingdoms: From the Start, I Recruit Jia Xu and His Peerless Poisonous Stratagems!

(History + the rise of the peasantry + dark themes + ruthless schemes + multiple heroines)

He transmigrates into the Three Kingdoms, with his parents dead from starvation from the start and a corrupt official already bullying him at his door.

Zhou Cang kills in a fit of rage and sets off on his path to vie for supremacy in a chaotic age.

The village bully picks on me? Kill him!

Ding Yuan harms me? Kill him!

Dong Zhuo plots against me? Kill him!

In this man-eating age of chaos, you either kill others or they kill you!

He recruits Jia Xu, takes in Lü Bu, gathers refugees, wipes out the great clans, and rampages across the land.

When Zhou Cang personally leads three hundred thousand armored cavalry and He Jin orders him to surrender his military command, Zhou Cang delivers his famous line:

"Even the Empress Dowager still has her charms!"

From a simple villager, Zhou Cang steadily rises to the heart of the empire, leading the Han dynasty onto the world stage.
