The history of the Three Kingdoms has never been a feel-good power fantasy. Every step is fraught with danger.
Unless your golden finger makes you a god, you'll have to keep your feet on the ground.
This is a slow-paced political intrigue novel disguised as a power fantasy.
Chen Fan, a 38-year-old disabled millionaire, accidentally transmigrates to Luoyang at the end of the Han dynasty!
System alert: You have only 24 hours left to live! Want to survive?
Then go marry a wife and recruit a brilliant general!
Marry a wife, get a brilliant general! And earn bonus years of life! It works the other way around, too!
Wait, what are you getting at, System?
I married Diao Chan, so why did you send Lü Bu?
And Lü Bu's loyalty is at minus 20!
I recruited Zhuge Liang, so why did you send Huang Yueying?
Even Zhuge Liang is looking at me funny!
Chen Fan's busted System has saddled him with a whole bunch of headache-inducing subordinates...
And there are plenty of legendary figures from the Three Kingdoms era he doesn't even know about.
Every one of them is more cunning and prescient than the last.
How is he supposed to build an empire like this?
