Thick Black Three Kingdoms: from Straw Sandal Hawker to World-Powerful One

"The Legend of Thick Black in the Three Kingdoms: From a Straw Shoe Vendor to the Powerful One" tells the story of Liu Bian, a little man in the market, who relied on his proficient thick black skills to survive step by step in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms. He started by fooling Liu Bei with his mouth. From the power game to challenge Dong's alliance, to the serial calculations of borrowing Xuzhou and occupying Jingzhou, to playing with the Shu-Wu alliance and outsmarting Zhuge Liang, he always adhered to the creed of "thick-skinned and evil-hearted": never show force when pretending to be a grandson, be unambiguous when he needs to be ruthless, marry and coax when trying to win over power, and use strength when resolving a crisis. In the end, he assisted Liu Bei to divide the world, dominated the Shu Han Dynasty, and even enjoyed his old age with powerful beauties after the troubled times, becoming the biggest "winner" of the Three Kingdoms. The whole book uses humorous writing to deconstruct political intrigues and reveal the dark truth of survival in troubled times.
