Liu Zhan, a modern history PhD, fainted while organizing historical records about Yue Fei. When he came to, he found himself in an ancient military camp, in the body of Liu Shan, who was about to take the throne. To his horror, this was the critical moment when Zhuge Liang was gravely ill at Wuzhangyuan.
Just as he thought history was about to repeat itself and he was destined for a life of "finding no joy in Shu," a soldier outside the tent reported that a fierce general calling himself Yue Fei, armed with the Liquan Spear, had charged into the camp alone on horseback. He claimed he had come to "save the Han dynasty from peril"!
In the end, they captured Luoyang and destroyed Wei. Seeing that all was lost, Sun Quan of Eastern Wu sent a petition of submission. The realm was unified once more. Just when everyone thought Liu Shan would reach the pinnacle of his life, he proposed a truly earth-shattering idea at court: "I think... the Chancellor is both virtuous and talented. Why don't you... become emperor?"
Liu Shan reclined in a rocking chair, gazing at the splendid realm before him, and said to himself, "This life of being forced to unify the realm... isn't so bad after all."
