When Li Rui, a modern special soldier, fell down in the explosion while trying to save his comrades, and when he opened his eyes again, he found that he had fallen into the troubled times of the late Eastern Han Dynasty. The only remaining pistol and two magazines on his body became his only connection with the past, and also became the most bizarre trump card in this cold weapon era.
Rescued from a pool of blood by the Yellow Turban leader Zhang Jiao, Li Rui's modern values and military spirit were completely ignited in the face of the displaced people and the corrupt court under the harsh regime. He could not bear to see the suffering of the common people repeating the historical tragedy, so he chose to stand beside Zhang Jiao, using the tactical literacy and modern knowledge of the special forces to inject new possibilities into this peasant uprising sweeping the world - improving farm tools to increase production, promoting health and epidemic prevention, training well-disciplined rebels, and even creating simple firearms that frightened the enemy.
He tried to stick to the bottom line in troubled times: not to massacre the city, not to kill, and to make the uprising truly a way of life for the people instead of a new disaster. However, the inertia of history is like a giant wheel. Zhang Jue's idealism, the ambition of the princes, and the cruel laws of the times have impacted his beliefs again and again.
During the war, he unexpectedly met Cai Wenji, who was famous all over the world. In troubled times, one is a stranger from another world with a modern soul, and the other is a talented woman trapped in the whirlpool of fate. Their love grows in the flames of war, but they are also destined to withstand the tests of machinations, wars, and the estrangement of the times.
See how the special forces used a pistol to shake up the situation in the late Han Dynasty and help Zhang Jiao set off the Yellow Turban craze? See how he deals with Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and other heroes, and how he navigates the torrent of history.
