Three Kingdoms: I Became a Cao Wei Power Broker by Telling Fortunes

Zhou Yan, a modern university student majoring in history, unexpectedly transmigrates to the end of the Eastern Han dynasty. He becomes an obscure young scion of a minor gentry family in Yanzhou, courtesy name Gongxi, aged twenty. It is the second year of Xingping (195), and Yanzhou is in turmoil. While fleeing, he comes across Cai Wenji, who has been swept up by a band of mutinous soldiers. Thanks to his knowledge of history and skill in the art of divination and deduction, he not only saves the renowned poet but also finds comfort in her amid the chaos. The two support each other through the troubled times and become husband and wife. From then on, Zhou Yan uses fortune-telling as his way in, relying on his uncanny ability to predict battles and read people to enter the heart of Cao Wei's power. He helps Cao Cao pacify the north and foresees the defeat at Red Cliffs. As he carefully navigates the treacherous court, the fugitive scholar gradually rises to become a powerful minister of Cao Wei.
