A thunderstorm shattered modern life. Zhao Lei, an unemployed young man born in the 1990s, accidentally traveled to the Bingzhou mass graves in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. At the beginning, he was caught in a terrifying situation of howling rotting coyotes. He also accidentally saved Lu Bu, who was attacked by an assassin. With his courage and modern thinking, he became the most trusted "brother" around this Three Kingdoms warrior.
From then on, he was swept into the torrent of troubled times: from the midnight shadow in the Bingzhou military camp, the "white shadow seeking life" conspiracy of Ding Yuan's forces, to the magic scarecrow during the breakout of Changshan, the rebellion of the generals before the destruction of Xiapi City, to the escape from the sea of fire in the Battle of Chibi and the conspiracy of the mysterious masked man in Cao Cao's camp, every step hid murderous intent. He not only has to help Lu Bu avoid the "blood curse" rumors and decipher the enemy's witchcraft tricks, but he also has to deal with the power games of Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and other princes, using his knowledge of history and quick wit to avert danger.
The story breaks the traditional narrative of the Three Kingdoms and uses "suspense" as the lead. It connects the intrigues in the general camp, witchcraft plots, and secret fights among the princes. Against the background of the troubled times, it outlines a different kind of brotherhood - Zhao Lei is no longer a spectator of history, but a partner who fights side by side with Lu Bu. From their encounter in the mass graves to their shared life and death in Chibi, amidst the conspiracy and the shadow of swords, they rewrite their own legend of survival in the late Han Dynasty. In the thrilling plot, readers can feel the struggles of small people in troubled times and the preciousness of friendship.
