One morning, Liu Zhe, a technical-minded man from the twenty-first century, woke from a dream to find himself transformed into Liu Shan, the famous Three Kingdoms ruler known as “the hopeless Adou”!
Faced with a beleaguered Ji Han, beset by internal and external threats, and with his prime minister Zhuge Liang before him, prematurely gray from the burdens of state, he realized that history’s tragedy must not be repeated.
At the very moment Zhuge Liang knelt beside his sickbed and vowed, voice breaking, to “devote himself to the utmost and die only when his work is done,” Liu Shan struggled to speak:
“Prime Minister, last night... I dreamed of the curved-shaft plow, the chain-pump, and... gunpowder that can split mountains and shatter rocks.”
Zhuge Liang looked up sharply, his eyes surging with shock as if he had glimpsed the first light of a world turned upside down.
From that moment on, the wheels of history veered sharply onto a new course.
While Wei and Wu spies still mocked the foolish King of Shu and Zhuge Liang’s warmongering, secret workshops outside Chengdu were producing new farming tools that filled Shu’s granaries to overflowing, while waterwheels worked day and night.
And when the clouds of war gathered over Hanzhong once more, the Ji Han army brought not the traditional swords, spears, halberds, and lances...
But thunder that shook the earth and flames capable of tearing down city walls!
Sima Yi stood atop the city wall, staring at the world-shattering force before him. His hands trembled as he cried out in shock, “What on earth did that Zhuge peasant teach Adou?!”
With a gentle wave of his feather fan, Zhuge Liang gazed north and smiled serenely.
“No. It is His Majesty who is teaching this age what heavenly might means.”
This is a fierce clash between modern knowledge and ancient wisdom, and a perfect partnership between an emperor who is a master of the act and an advisor famed throughout history. Watch as they join forces, wielding technology as a spear and national strength as a shield, to defy fate and forge a new legend in this age of the Three Kingdoms, where heroes rise from every corner...
