There are quite a few female characters. Don't read if that's not your thing.

After transmigrating to the late Eastern Han Dynasty, history graduate Yang Zheng becomes the legitimate heir of the Hongnong Yang clan.

He enters Luoyang after being recommended for his filial piety and integrity. Beating Liu Bei to the punch, he wins over Guan Yu and Zhang Fei on the streets of Zhuo Commandery, and the two heroes pledge themselves to him! When the Yellow Turban Rebellion breaks out, he earns military honors in a bloody battle at Yingchuan. By the time Emperor Ling dies, he already controls thousands of miles of fertile land in Ji Province, and his black-armored cavalry terrorizes the northern frontier.

The anti-Dong Zhuo alliance? Nothing but a stage play! While the warlords argue, his elite troops have already stolen a thousand carts of Dong Zhuo's gold, rescued Cai Yan and Fu Shou, and claimed all the imperial splendor of the former dynasty from Luoyang's sea of flames.

He campaigns across north and south: warships on the Yangtze crush Sun Ce's ambitions, Xiliang cavalry kneel to welcome Ma Chao's surrender, and the gates of Bashu swing open to Zhuge Liang! The imperial examinations destroy the aristocratic clans' monopoly, and merchant ships from every nation gather in the Bohai Sea.

When the Nine Tripod Cauldrons are moved to Ye City, he ascends the throne as emperor:

Cai Yan pens the new dynasty's legal code, while Diao Chan conceals a map of its vast territories in her sleeve;

The Qiao sisters play music and practice swordplay together before the palace, while the Xianbei princess dances at the foot of Mount Langjuxu!

Behold how a modern soul wields the Han dynasty's loyal spirit as a blade and wisdom as armor, until he changes the world beneath the sun and moon!
