Transmigrated to the Three Kingdoms as Empress

Zhou Li, a graduate student in archaeology, unexpectedly transmigrates to the end of the Han dynasty, only to become a declining noble family’s “political pawn” and be forced to marry Liu Zhan, an unambitious illegitimate son of the imperial clan. The Han empire is now hovering at death’s door, while the flames of the Yellow Turban Rebellion are quietly taking shape.

In this chaotic age when lives are as cheap as grass, Zhou Li won’t be a dutiful wife. She’ll be a mentor! From the start, she awakens the Han Watchtower Phoenix System, whose initial reward is Yuan Tiangang, the foremost shadow operative of the Tang dynasty, along with five hundred Unworthy Men. Using the strategic vision of an emperor from history, cutting-edge modern science and technology, and a little “divine guidance through dreams,” she molds her timid husband into an ambitious warlord.

“Boyuan, the mud in Jingzhou’s pond is too shallow to hold a dragon. Let’s go to Youzhou. The horses there are strong and the iron cold, perfect for killing, and even better for becoming kings.”

And so, a “New Han” rises from the bitterly cold lands of Youzhou, guided by a modern female archaeology PhD, with the poison-tongued strategist Jia Xu calculating the human heart, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui managing domestic affairs, and Yue Fei’s Beiwei Army sweeping all before it in a storm of iron and blood. While the warlords are still fighting over every city and stronghold, Zhou Li is already leading her dream team of famous generals, ready to lay the entire old era to rest.
