Cao Xiaoman, a modern office worker who knows the Three Kingdoms inside and out, dies from overwork and transmigrates into Cao Cao, fleeing after his defeat at Red Cliffs! Even more absurdly, he discovers that he is cursed: whenever he laughs in a dangerous situation, disaster is sure to follow!
From then on, history goes completely off the rails.
At Huarong Road, he keeps a straight face and lets his sharp tongue fly: Zhuge Liang is a “shaman,” and Zhou Yu is a “cotton fluffer.” Faced with Guan Yu, he cries out in anguish, “Was it really just because I didn’t give you Diao Chan?”
Back in Xudu, undercurrents swirl through the court. He evaluates officials with KPIs and governs with a big-data mindset. He makes Kong Rong cry, intimidates Xun Yu, drives a wedge between Ma Chao and Han Sui... Every step teeters on the edge of hilarity, and every step lands at a turning point in history.
But Zuo Ci’s curse follows him like a shadow, and the court’s secret attacks are impossible to guard against.
See how this transmigrator who cannot laugh talks his way through the chaos with a perfectly serious face, carves out a path to survival in the turbulent Three Kingdoms, and lives by his own motto: keep smiling and stay alive!
