After transmigrating into a gender-swapped Three Kingdoms, I become Liu Xuande, the mat-weaver and sandal-seller. But this time, I’ll use the sword of benevolence to cut through this cute-girl version of the turbulent age!
At the end of the Eastern Han dynasty, spiritual qi revival sweeps the land and the Dao returns. In this gender-swapped Three Kingdoms world, every warlord is a beauty and every strategist a lovely woman. Liu Bei is reborn as the daughter of a fallen imperial clan. Her memories of her past life awaken, only for her to discover that history has changed beyond recognition:
The Oath of the Peach Garden? Now it’s a sisterly bond. Guan Yu, handsome as jade, has hair red as fire, while Zhang Fei, with her leopard-like eyes and fierce face, has strength enough to lift a cauldron.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion? Zhang Ning, daughter of Zhang Jue, joins them with the Treatise on the Great Peace. Daoist magic and talismans become decisive weapons on the battlefield.
The Han dynasty is crumbling? The young empress lives in seclusion in Luoyang, the eunuch faction hides its secrets, and the great clans each have their own schemes.
The lords rise against one another? Cao Cao, Sun Quan, Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo... all are peerless female warlords competing for the realm.
With the knowledge of her past life and a benevolent heart, Liu Bei charts a very different course through this cute-girl version of the age of chaos:
She does not massacre cities. She takes in surrendered Yellow Turbans and educates displaced people.
She does not abandon the people. She escorts them across the river, choosing to go slowly rather than leave anyone behind.
She does not betray her friends. She dares defy the imperial decree to protect her subordinates.
She does not proclaim herself emperor. Her heart remains with the Han, but she intends to reshape the world.
From the three sisters swearing their oath at the Peach Garden to a lone army rescuing Kong Rong in Beihai; from raising five hundred troops in Pingyuan County to commanding Qingzhou and eyeing the Central Plains. With benevolence as her foundation and Daoist magic as her blade, Liu Bei forms the Benevolent Army and establishes an Academy of Daoist Arts. On this stage where cute girls vie for supremacy, she carves out a path unlike any before.
