The Yellow Sky Rises: I, Zhang Jue, Reforge Heaven and Earth

Zhang Qian, a modern overworked office drone, dies suddenly and is reborn as Zhang Jue in the late Eastern Han dynasty. With plague raging and the people suffering in a chaotic age, he tears apart the lie that talisman water can save the nation. He treats the plague with herbs, calms the people with equal land distribution, and enforces strict military discipline.

"The azure sky is dead? No, it's this man-eating Han dynasty that should fall!"

He abandons superstition and raises the banner of the Yellow Heaven, not to become a puppet of divine authority, but to win the people a world where they "have food to eat, clothes to wear, and dignity."

From the uprising in Julu to sweeping across the Central Plains, from fighting the Han army to dismantling the warlords, he uses gunpowder to blast apart the foundations of the rotten dynasty, the Treatise on Peaceful Medicine to dispel the shadow of death, and a "People's Assembly" to reshape the order of the realm.

When yesterday's refugees become an army, when scholars from humble families give him their allegiance, when the principle of "serving the people" resounds through the skies...

Zhang Jue stands atop the walls of Luoyang, gazing at a peaceful age beneath the Yellow Heaven stretching thousands of miles, and finally understands:

The Yellow Heaven was never a mandate from above. It is the longing of hundreds of millions of people to live.

This time, he will do more than overthrow the Han dynasty. He will forge a new world that truly belongs to the people!
