Synopsis

After transmigrating into Liu Bei, I realized something was wrong with this world.

Guan Yu always “happened” to show up just as I was about to get myself killed, and Zhang Fei’s “recklessness” somehow saved me with perfect precision every time.

The look Zhuge Liang gave me seemed to say, “Does the general wish to build an empire, or seek his own death?”

When Cao Cao and I discussed heroes over wine, he leaned close and asked, “You’ve noticed too, haven’t you? This world has a script.”

Only when Pang Tong grabbed me before he died and said, “My lord... at last... I can leave...”

did I understand that we were all actors trapped in the “Will of Heaven” System.

My mission was to die. Their mission was to stop me from dying.

And the only way to break free was to achieve a death that was “reasonable and justified.”

So, at the Battle of Yiling, I deliberately spread my camps across seven hundred li.

This time, no one would save me.

A new take on the Three Kingdoms, told from Liu Bei’s perspective. It borrows the premise from the Bilibili creator Blue Youth Nexus, bringing the life-and-death bond between Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei into this story. However, the novel is told primarily from Liu Bei’s point of view, showing how Liu Bei, the imperial uncle, goes about taking his own life and ascending to heaven.

Any Good Three Kingdoms Novels That Hold Up? No Arbitrary Dumbed-Down Characters

I'd like something light and funny without awkward humor. A System story, a tale of strategy, or one about a lone hero traveling a thousand miles would all be fine. Are there any stories where one side is fighting a civil war while the factions on both sides send troops to fight abroad?
