Others transmigrate to the Three Kingdoms era with a System in hand: the world is theirs, and they start with a winning hand.
Sun Jian starts with a broken gong and a belt he stole.
As CEO of Eastern Wu's startup team, Sun Jian scares off pirates with a one-man square dance and lands angel investment in the form of a temporary job. His son Sun Ce takes the three thousand in venture capital his father secured by trading away the Imperial Seal and launches an all-out startup in Jiangdong. He's nicknamed the “Hannibal of Jiangdong” for his speed of conquest.
He thought that after going public, or becoming emperor, he could sit back and enjoy the spoils. Instead, he discovers:
CEO Sun Quan spends every day bouncing between “I'm incredible” and “Are they trying to kill me?”
Star manager Zhou Yu's main job is fighting battles. His side gig is playing the zither and flirting with women.
Golden-boy enforcer Lü Meng works himself to death trying to outdo everyone.
The backbone, Lu Xun, tells him, “Boss, you're really overthinking this...”
This is the story of the Sun family's Jiangdong startup: a venture that fell apart, but not entirely. Watch them repeatedly bungee-jump off the Yangtze's natural defenses, until history itself becomes a joke.
