Zhang Juzheng, the iron-fisted Grand Secretary of the Ming dynasty, pushed through reforms single-handedly and turned the tide when all seemed lost. After working himself to illness and nearing the end of his strength, he opened his eyes again, only to find himself as Zhuge Kongming, who had just “fallen like a star” at Wuzhang Plains?!
Hellish difficulty from the start. The mess before him sends his blood pressure soaring:
The country's resources are drained, and rats run through the treasury!
There is a shortage of talent, renowned generals are dwindling, and the prickly Wei Yan is waiting to be dealt with!
The powerful Wei is all around them, while Eastern Wu watches like a tiger!
Most crucial of all, the man he has to assist is Liu Shan, the historical “happy to stay in Shu” Adou?!
A wildly imaginative historical story with a system! Not a traditional historical novel! Those who love meticulous research and classical Chinese reading can skip this, thank you! And to those who give it a bad review after less than 30 minutes, please don't be so harsh, thank you!
