Emperor Gaozu of Han dies in Changle Palace, but his heroic spirit passes into the body of Liu Xin, a down-and-out scholar in Zhuo County at the end of the Eastern Han dynasty.
Just as the Yellow Turban Rebellion plunges the land into chaos, he brings with him the founding strategies and people-management skills of the late Qin. Starting with a local militia, he trains troops, suppresses bandits, and opens up farmland, advancing carefully at every step.
His ideals clash with Liu Bei's, taking them from cooperation to a complete break.
With a keen eye for talent, he recruits extraordinary minds such as Zhao Yun, Xun Yu, and Jia Xu.
He uses the emperor to command the warlords, defeats Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and keeps Sun Quan in check. Through political maneuvering, he unifies the realm; through practical measures, he revives the Han dynasty.
When the former village head becomes a Three Kingdoms warlord, watch how he overturns the balance among the contenders, ends the chaos, and restores the glory of the Han!
