Rebuilding the Realm in the Three Kingdoms

Yang Zhao, a history researcher, opened his eyes to find himself the legitimate son of the Hongnong Yang clan at the end of the Han Dynasty.

The winds of Guanghe Year Seven carried the stench of blood from the Yellow Turban Rebellion. He saw the history books foretelling that “white bones lay exposed in the fields,” and heard the wails of the Han people who would suffer for the next three centuries. He clenched his fists.

His family’s status, with four generations serving as Three Excellencies, was his shield. Two thousand years of knowledge were his spear.

While others fought for territory, he first sheltered refugees. He gave surrendered Yellow Turban soldiers food and a way forward, telling them, “You are sons of the Han, not bandits.”

While others stockpiled grain and supplies, he recognized worthy talents early. The force he raised from humble beginnings concealed future generals who could defend the land and protect its people.

While others schemed to carve out kingdoms, he held fast to his principles. “As long as the Han Dynasty still stands, Luoyang must not be reduced to scorched earth, and the people must not suffer another war.”

He had witnessed Cao Mengde’s sharpness and recognized Liu Xuande’s resilience, but he never forgot: what he had come to make right were the countless regrets in the history books that “could have been avoided.”

“I, Yang Zhao, will bring this age of chaos to an early end, restore peace to Han lands, and ensure that the people of Huaxia never again have to weep for their parents amid the flames of war.”

Watch as the reborn legitimate son takes history as his brush and blood as his ink, rewriting a tragic song that was supposedly destined to be sung. I hope you’ll enjoy this story. Your support is what keeps me writing, and I’ll do my best to tell every tale well!
