Li Ji transmigrates to the end of the Eastern Han dynasty and spends 913 days eking out a living in the countryside outside Zhuo Commandery. At last, he meets the three Liu brothers after their Peach Garden oath.
Gifted with the ability to simulate strategies, he hopes to imitate Zhuge Liang and make them call on him three times. But in a simulation, Zhang Fei ties him to a tree and beats him until he’s near death. He then tries to put on airs and present himself as a sage, only for Guan Yu to expose him with a single question: “Have you ever read the Spring and Autumn Annals?”
