At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang, a young man from Langya, had his family destroyed. He took his young brother to escape the chaos in Jingzhou, and farmed and studied in Longzhong for ten years, hiding his weapons. When Liu Xuande visited the thatched cottage three times, he used "Longzhong Dui" to decide the strategy of dividing the world into three parts, and then stepped into the torrent of troubled times.
When the Red Cliff burned, he defeated the strong with the weak, establishing a tripartite momentum; when he entered Shu Dingchuan, he governed like a god and brought the kingdom of Tianfu back to life; when he conquered Menghuo in the south, he captured and defeated Menghuo seven times and convinced them with his virtue; when he left Qishan, he devoted himself to his life and started a life-and-death game with Sima Yi on both sides of the Wei River.
He is the pillar of Shu Han, but he will never be able to defeat the will of heaven. The autumn wind in Wuzhangyuan blew out the seven-star lantern, and also blew away the last hope of reviving the Han Dynasty. This novel describes Zhuge Liang's resourcefulness, struggle and desolation throughout his life, from an orphan boy in the countryside to a prime minister of the Han Dynasty. There is no fantasy or supernatural power, only the courage of an idealist who fights against fate with his flesh and blood in troubled times.
